yesterday- was hungry ALL day long .....actually surprised i didn't eat more:rolleyes: b- black bean burger w/tomato l- 4 pcs california roll s- cup white cheddar popcorn d- bowl chicken/veggie teriyaki s- mango / strawberry parfait

i just realized on another thread i had 3999 posts - so i figured i'd come here for 4000.....yep back away from lbt:)

i think that way - would LOVE others to feel the same, but this is one hot topic. example - DH & his sis (gay) raised pentecostal....poor guy married a jewish/italian catholic from NYC (me). his family has come a LONG way in acceptance - they accept her and her partner ... they would never go to a booth and vote for equality (approve gay marriage). we know it, don't have those conversations - they are together at family functions.... nobody is ugly, but we're not blind to how they actually feel or would vote. in the back of my mind - i see this as a no brainer.....but it's an issue & i LOVE dh for allowing his liberal wife to wean him from some previous hang ups on the issue to accept his sis no matter what. it's been a great thing to witness.

i do think the majority of voting citizens are against gay marriage.....even the ones that say they aren't. my husband struggles w/the issue & his sister is gay - so while he is in a learning curve of understanding.....he still is not in favor deep down. hey listen - i grew up w/the term fag meaning a cigarette; if ugly words are what people use , slang or otherwise - that's theirs to own. .... not who they are directed at.

i admit to mocking certain religions, specifically the ones that hide behind a bible/god to spread hate. where tolerance is given, tolerance is shown.

i would check w/the vet. i have dogs from age 3 to 17....i feel like i have a toddler to an old woman to care for on some days. but it's my 8yr old golden that is very similar to your dog. she's lost her gate/very stiff - tires easily and seems to be aging faster trying to keep up w/the younger labs. she's actually laying underneath me as i type. 10 is getting up there, especially for larger dogs; she may have dysplasia / arthritis / etc....and while some exercise is good - maybe not everyday & for shorter distance.

i found if i ate less than 1000 calories - i stalled. i don't treat Protein shakes/smoothies as Meal Replacements, rather Snacks....sometimes i want one for Breakfast, or late at night - but i make sure i'm getting a good balance of lean protein/good carbs/fruit & veggies in throughout the day. everyday is not perfect - but more so than not. with weight training - i find i'm hungry more on those days vs just cardio days. can't explain it - but i've never had to worry getting in food , rather still watch what i eat. like changing up your exercise - you might want to change up your meals ...

yikes...:thumbsup: ebony - beth is right; go for it. i just finished pt semester of law school last wk and i did not enjoy. then again, i expect to be judge judy right away.....still deciding if i want to go back.

heavy pancake makeup - mayo has it come off in one full swoop. i can say the same about religious zealots.

holy crap i thought the same thing after beth's post. i lived w/a DQ for 6 months - and let me tell you she/he got LOTS of attention - very beautiful. gosh that was ages ago, strange tip - they take their make up off w/mayo..???

oh WOW - i think i'll pass looking that one up....:thumbsup:

i think it's hillarious, the spokes idgit for marriage has a past....LOL. goodness everyone has a PAST. honestly she looked better w/out the new boobs - but hey that's me.... i heard on the news this AM that the pagent officials in CA are wanting her precious crown not just for the racy pictures, but because she broke the rules by speaking out for causes w/out permission. not sure what that actually means, i personally think they're going out of their way to dump her for her answer to the gay marriage question & i don't think that's necessarily fair.

just in case anyone is wondering - you can get stuck on coffee while reading PTJP thread....oh my. congrats babygirl!!!! hey slim -having MIL over for mothers day????? :thumbsup:

my dr suggested that i have a glass of skim milk before bed, when i complained of starving in the evening...?? worked some or it was all in my head like the hunger???? yesterday b- mocha latte shake l- 4 chicken pot stickers s- handful of wasabi peas d- bowl white bean/chicken chili s- pineapple spear

mine does stick out - under left breastbone. do i like it - no, doesn't stop me from wearing a bikini though:)

they had to be significant. i have arthritis and that wasn't even a consideration. my husband was banded w/me and he too was denied (under 40 bmi) with high blood pressure * sleep apnea. i would call your insurance company and get a copy of the policy as it pertains to weight loss surgery. in my opinion, if they can get away not paying for the surgery - they will.. btw - i had blue cross. we switched insurances at my husband's next open enrollment and now have UHC & they cover everything band related even though we went self pay.

i had a bmi of 36 and was denied. my insurance required for those w/a bmi under 40 have 2 comorbidities - which i did not have. i went self pay. good luck to you!

that's great catherine - congrats!

LOLOLOL i use the term "africa hot" all the time, typically describing texas in august...

packing/moving is exercise glouc!!! & lots of it. yesterday - nothing today - 20min on bike (3.2 miles) slugging it; trip/bicep/shoulder routine

same here, what's weird is i get random PM's or posting to my profile page for me to post before/afters. umm - NO. my mug w/sun glasses on is about all i'll do - not showing fat pics, i was & now not. if your on FB you can see my warts...:laugh: g4e - glad all is well & safe. ebony - i'm constantly cold, DH called me just a few minutes ago to let me know that i have issues putting on the seat heaters in 85 degree weather. i like toasty buns is all:):cool2:

yeah - i could care less gay/straight.....she gets results. anyone noticed how deflated bob was last night - his only hope = ron...LOL i'm wondering if he's gone next season (after getting spanked the last 3)??? i notice jillian on the today show every wk & bob seems to have taken a quiet step backwards.

fine...i'll add: every morning i launch lbt, get the pictures people post to the right. a lot of people like to post their newly banded stomach.......just don't get that. figured we needed a new topic other than weather....

yesterday b - egg muffin (1 egg/pancetta/peper jack cheese) l- 1 beef empanada / small cup tortilla soup d- half cucumber w/hummus

jillian is 35, 5'2 & is 115-120lbs.....that's an athlete & i'd kill for those arms!
