Lisa, good to see you. We saw Madagascar too, it was cute, nothing to write home about lol. We also saw Herbie the Love Bug. I thought that was cute but its a movie for folks that know the old Herbie movies IMHO. Matt Dylan (sp???) and Michael Keaton looked really old in that movie... Yeah I know WE'RE GETTING OLD TOO LOL. I had my consultation on the 6th and the doc said I should just squeek by with the insurance companies...sigh. So there's that chance they may not approve me I'm trying to keep my Chinny Chin Chins up but its hard. Think Positive, Think Positive LOLOL. Hope yours goes well

WELL GOLLLLLLLLLLY!!! ITS LISA !!!!!!!!!!!!! Hey girl, we were gonna all out some joisey boys to come look for yah I'm glad your okay and having fun

Lucy is a pistol ROFL !!!

Penni your not crazed, your dedicated **BRAVO** Today when I come home from school with DD, I WILL GET ON THAT DREADMILL Dang gum it !

Okay I'm embarassed, buttttt I didn't plan on starting this thread today. Delarla inspired me to start moving my arse and there's no better time than NOW (smart ass Ray). Today I did errands, and brought DD to the jungle gym. Time to go bathe her and finish laundry. Tomorrow, I promise I will get on that dreadmill

ALLL RIGHT !!!!! Congratulations

Well excuseeeeeeeeeeee me LOL snort ~ Here's a picture of my Susie... she's a she http://www.lapbandtalk.com/showthread.php?t=8451

I'm looking forward to buying a new bike did I say this already LOL

Ray, she's beautiful I think my Susie is some where on this forum, I'll find her.

Hi Delarla, just the thought of exercise makes my toes curl up. But even if I get rejected (Insurance) I have to make some changes. I feel like my fat is going to grow roots into my chair soon. I'm getting lazier and lazier with each passing day. I was hoping that with the band, I would lose some and get some energy but I have to be realistic and plan for being on my own. I'm gonna start an exercise thread here called, September's Verb (its what you do). It doesn't matter what you do, walk, bike, clean the house, dance, etc., just as long as you do something to move your body. And we can all post what we're doing, it might help give others the incentive they need. I suck at exercise so my goal would be to walk 1 mile a day to start, possibley 1/2 mile. I hope folks join in. You can make healthy food choices even away from home. Instead of fries with your meal, get a baked tater or side salad. Buy those snack that are packaged in 100 calorie bags. I know for me once I open a big bag of something, it never works out that I will portion control it... no way. If you goof up at one meal, be good at the next meal. Don't say, well I blew it for the day so what the heck. Small steps is all it takes to get you going in the right direction. Come on girl, you can do this, even away from home. I know its not fun but........ yadda yadda yadda.

Estela, I'm so glad to hear the good news. HUGS

Oh gosh Penni, no rules, its just a place to chat about whats going on in your daily lives. IMHO I think it brings people closer together if they get to know more about that person. I'm glad your here Hey Beanie, have a good afternoon

And the famous waxed lips

And these, can't forget these candy dots... I think I ate a tree when I was little b/c you never got all the paper off of those things LOL

Lu Ann, yes I remember the reruns of Rin Tin Tin but not when they actually aired LOL. Remember these Candies boy being a kid was FUN !!!!! I loved the juice from these, although it was so sugary it used to make me cough every time i drank one of them LOL.

Penni, is there any way we can have an Adult Board that people must subscribe to and be approved before they are allowed to access it? This board won't be visible to people / kids just surfing. It would only be visible to those who subscribed to it. I've seen this done on another site. People would have to PM you to get access. Just an idea

Good Morning Beanie, I hear ya on wishing for high bp or high cholesterol .. oy vey!!! What I also don't understand is my BMI, I mean I truly have 95 lbs - 100 lbs to lose, so how can it be 37.1 when other people have the same amount to lose and their BMI's are higher. Even with my height, it doesn't make sense to me. The doctor said he was surprised that I didnt have more muscle mass. I am tall, but my frame is medium, most folks think just cause your tall you have a large frame. When I was at my skinniest, which was in 1992 ...waaah 155 lbs waaaah my ring size was a 5. I'm now 260 and I can't wear any of my rings LOL. So size is definitly deceiving to the eye. Beanie, how's your day today ? how's work? I'm on vacation this week but next week I'll be checking in like you are. Ivan, the zoo was cute. DD starts school tomorrow, first time I hope you took pictures of your son his first day. Night shift can truly suck. I would hate it with a pashion. Glad your off soon and on regular hrs. How's your wife ? Is she a stay at home mom ? No, we haven't been to the catskill game farm. We were thinking of going this month but the rising cost of gas kinda made us change our minds. What I'd really like to do is go to PA shopping They have an awesome candle factory on route 611 in tannersville and they also have a zoo out there in the pocono's. Its hard to go places since the both of us work, DH that is so who knows what we'll do. Bet my DD would love to meet your DS. Maybe we can plan a day in the next couple of weeks or so. We're taking DD to a jungle gym place today to burn some calories and then I have lots of house work to do thats getting out of hand b/c I'm a slug this week and loving it How's everyone today ?

Carrie I'm glad your having a fill tomorrow. Egads, I can't imagine those powder taters coming back up... GROSS !!! Maybe next time get the box brand and make them yourself at home, this way you can water it down better. Bet they aren't as sticky/gluey as KFC's. HUGS

GOOD JOB !! I'm glad your feeling pretty good. Thats always encouraging Those Vitamins sound horrible. My doctor recommends childrens vitamins, I'm not sure of the dosage but I think he said you can eat at least 2. Call your doctor up and ask. Vitamins are known for tasting horrible, I can only imagine ICK ICK ICK!!! CONGRATULATIONS !!!

Ohhhhhhhhhh Delarla I had one of "those" parties once. Instead of tupperware parties, we call them *f*erware parties I invited 30 women and they all showed up. My mom came because she thought it was a lingerie party, so the first "Member" they passed around, some one passed it to her and she just looked at me and said EILEENIE!!!!! Boy did she get embarassed but we kept spiking her coffee with Irish Creme and she was laughing her ass off by the end of the night FUN PARTIES

Where's LISA ???? Oh Lisa, where for art thou ? We miss you. Beanie girl, whatcha do today? Ira, whats shakin toots? The surgeon's visit went okay today, he said I should just make it with the insurance companies approving me. I mean that bmi machine thingy said I had 85 lbs to lose, but in reality its more like 95 - 100 lbs easy, with a bmi of 37.1. I just don't get it, my bp and chol is high, my spine is messed up, and I have arthritis. But to them this is healthy ??? I walked out feeling like sheesh, I'm being punished b/c I'm healthy..... I know they haven't submitted it yet to the insurance companies and this is premature from my end of it, I just can't help what I felt when I walked out. The sadness was way to real and disturbing. I should just squeek by... lordy be **shaking head** Even with a history of obesity since I'm 6 years old...sheesh louise. Please pray that I get approved. This is gonna mentally break me if I don't I do try to be really upbeat and happy go lucky, so forgive me for being such a downer today. Since I'm not banded yet, I'd love some cheese and crackers to go with my WHINE!!! Soft spread garlic flavor please LOLOL

I just had mine done today, I measure in at a whoppin 51% ...egads !!!

I'm in the same boat Vanesa... GOOD LUCK !!!

We're so proud of you John WTG !!

Happy Birthday To You Happy Birthday To You Happy Birthday Dear Penni Happy Birthday To You !!!! Now picture that being sung with a jersey accent LOL. HUGS & KISSES AND HAVE A WONDERFUL DAY :banana
