Ditto. Apparently "Ditto." is too short to post.

Fairy, they did used to pick a certain genre and let the contestant pick songs by various artists, a long time ago. I especially remember season 1 the week they did "Big Band". They got to chose the song and artist. Of course, that was back in 2002(?), I think. On later seasons, I think I remember them doing "Motown", "Country Rock", "Billboard #1 hits", "Broadway", "Disco", "The year you were born song", and many more I can't think of right now. I loved it when it was mixed up like that. I really wish they would reconsider doing this "featured artist" every week. I feel the same way you do, I don't want to hear 10 songs from the same artist. Maybe they will change it up again soon.

I have to agree. She started out doing so well and has been slipping lately. I hope she get's it together. I would love to see a plus size model at least make it to the finals.

White06, here's the link to the recipe. I love this recipe. Hope you like it. http://www.lapbandtalk.com/f82/baked-spaghetti-fake-out-53689/

oneder woman, I don't think you can have candy right now. I would not take a chance on hard candy. If for some weird reason, you accidentally swallowed it or a piece of it, it could do some real damage. What about some warm broth or warm tea?

Nevermind, it's been taken care of. Thanks to the ones that PMed me.

Has anyone watched AI yet? I am soooooo mad! I don't know who was sent home. My satellite messed up and I missed the last 20 minutes! Can someone PM me and tell me who was sent home? I don't want to spoil it for those who haven't seen it yet by posting it here, but I would appreciate it if someone could let me know. I'm dying of suspicion here...

Jfran, you really have done an amazing job! You look great! I am opposite of you, I don't work out enough, lol. I am working on it though. I hope you get past this pesky plateau soon. Keep us posted.

I hope you get the help you need. Take care.

Thanks luluc, I am going to look for it when I buy groceries this weekend. I like the LC slim fasts, but the only flavors are chocolate and vanilla. I'm just getting bored with them.

I am staying on plan today because I want to.

luluc Have you tried low carb slim fast? I was wondering how the low carb slim fast and the eas carb control carmel latte shake compare. Also, where do you buy the eas carb control carmel latte shake? The carmel flavor sounds really good.

Yeah, I watch it all the time. I never really got into Celebrity Fit Club. The one time I was going to watch it, it was the time that "Skreech" from Saved By the Bell was on there and I just couldn't watch it. He was so crude to everyone, it made me sick!

I know, it's soooo obvious, especially since the OP bailed when all the debating started. I just think it's sad this person has nothing better to do.

I love America's Next Top Model! I think I've seen every episode, lol. What do you think of Whitney? I think she's gorgeous and doing quite well in the competition.

Man, Paula gets quackier each time I see her. It could have been planned, but I thought she seemed very embarrassed by it. She just didn't seem herself the rest of the show. Who knows...... I didn't think round 1 was good for anyone. I'm glad they had to sing 2. David Cook and Brooke got my votes last night. I thought both of their 2nd songs were really good. I loved David C's second song, it could be a hit right now. BJean, I agree with you, I hope David Cook wins. I agreed with Simon, Brooke's first song was a nightmare. She needs some help figuring out what to do with her body while she is singing. She just looks very awkward. I prefer when she sings with the piano and she can focus on just singing and not having to worry about movement. David A........very predictable. That boy really boils my blood. He gets more irritating every week. I wish he would just go home, but I doubt that will happen anytime soon. I thought this was Jason Castro's weakest performance yet. I love his voice, but the songs were boring and didn't show off his vocal ability. I agree with all of you about Syesha. I don't like her style. She needs to accept that she belongs in theatre/or on the big screen. So, I hope it's Syesha that is voted off, but if it's not her, Jason could be in trouble.

Diane, I am so sorry you are going through this. My thoughts and prayers are definitely with you. Keep us posted.

That did not go where I wanted it to. On the bottom left of the screen, just click on more information inside the bodybugg picture.

Thank you, it's good to see some progress again. Do you watch The Biggest Loser? It's the thing they wear on their arm. It basically monitors how many calories you burn per day and it also tracks food for you. Here's a link, it explains it much better than I could, lol. 24 Hour Fitness: 24 Hour Fitness Centers and Health Clubs

All is good.

Ha Ha, I really I would have have gotten some "looks" then!

No hard feelings here either. I believe we should be able to express our opinions without harboring bad feelings. That's the beauty of the Rant and Raves. I can express my opinion and move on without holding grudges or harboring anger. I do understand that these celebrities are in the public eye and people are going to critique them. The main thing I was trying to say, was that A LOT of the celebs named were hardly overweight (mainly by the OP). I don't think we should have the mind set that everyone who has gained a few pounds NEEDS WLS. That is how the thread came across to me. There is no doubt that SOME of the celebrities mentioned would most likely benefit from WLS, but many would not even meet the criteria. I think the OP was successful at accomplishing what he/she set out to do, which is stir up trouble. Personally, I like that the thread has ventured off of the original topic, it's much more fun!

I am sooo excited ya'll! My birthday was April 16th and my DH surprised me and told me he was going to get me a bodybugg! I have been wanting one for months but we just didn't have the money to get one. My parents gave me $100 for my birthday, so I am going to put that with some money we have been setting aside. I am going to order it Friday! I just know it's going to take me to the next level in my weight loss. I know it will motivate me to move more and meet my daily criteria.
