Jack, Only for those non-twisted minds BTW, LOOK AT YOUR STATS, you sexy thang. Congrats !!! The doc's office just called to say they wanted to cancel the appt... I felt my heart sink. There are two doctors that are going to see me today and one could not make it (yeah okay, riiiiiiight) anyhoo. After some whinning and begging I'll still be seeing the one today at noon and the other on Friday afternoon. Nothing like extending my insanity huh EDIT !! The doc's office called again, so the appt's not this Friday its Sept 2nd... OY VEY... pass me a freakin doobie will yah.

Call your doctor. It can't hurt.

Are you sure your not from Jersey LOL I thought thats why we had DH's ROFL .

DeeDee, hopefully in 6 months I'll know what one looks like too LOL !!!! I'm looking forward to letting my DH stand behind me, put his arms around me, and not pushing his hands away b/c he is touching my big gut.

Oh Leslie, I'm am also sorry that you have to have the breast surgery but I am glad that they caught the problem and can fix it. **BIG GENTLE HUGS** Seppi is right, Morristown is an excellent hospital. I always tell my DH, if you can't get me to hackensack hospital than its morristown for sure. You're gonna do wonderful. I will be praying for you dear lady. Let us know how you are doing when you are feeling up to it. Hugs!!

Whats a vagina? ROFLMFVO

Sounds about right to me. When would you go for a fill ?

Hi Everyone !!! How is everyone this sticky hot August day? Well tomorrow is the big day. Well not THE big day but its the day I go see the surgeon's seminar w/DH. I'm excited and scared. Whats skakin with you? I figured a monthy chat might be better than a daily for now.

aaamom, but your on your way, thats the beauty of it I want to wear my wedding rings again.

Glad it went well

Ivan, look at you !!! 29 lbs down. By the time I see you in september you'll be a stick. I'll have to bring something to the support meeting to fatten ya up .... Cookies?? Just joshin ~~~~~ Congratulations !!!!!

Rene, my 25th reunion is in 2 years as well, never thought about it till you pointed it out. When I was in HS I weighed over 300 lbs (at graduation)... When I went back for my 10 year reunion, I weighed 150 lbs. BLEW their socks off because the cheerleaders got ugly, the jocks got fat and bald and I just got BETTER Okay well I'm back up over 100+ lbs and I refused to go to my 20th year just because of my weight gain. :devious ***evil grin*** :devious guess I'll be going to my 25th

Don't be jealous now Yeah I know I'll be fine, its the staff I worry about LOLOLOL !!

*YIKES* You know, when your in that much pain, it really doesn't matter who does it. When my appendix burst (and they couldn't figure out what was wrong w/me) I didn't care who poked or prodded me, all I wanted was the pain to be gone.... my pride disapeared since then lol. I will try to remember this remedy. Thanks.

I'm looking forward to sitting in my lawn chairs without having ME hanging over the sides of the chair. Form fitting clothes would be nice instead of tents. JUST PLAIN OL FEELING GOOD !!!

A Little Respect I ain't never been with a woman long enough, for my boots to get old. We've been together so long now they both need resoled. If I ever settle down you'd be my kind. and its a good time for me to head on down the line. ...

Can't be any worse than me

Personally I think she had some sort of surgery........read what she says on her website (she looks really good, I didn't even recognize her). Although I have to agree with her, its personal..... Questions about Health & Fitness What has Star been doing to lose so much weight? Ok...now this is the question of the year. The size of my "behind" has been debated more than the workings of my brain…and I find it fascinating. You might have noticed that I’ve been losing weight in the past few months…yeah, yeah, yeah, I know all about the rumors and the gossip...which of course I don't plan to feed into. However, I have found there seems to be three recurring questions in this regard. What did she do? Why did she do it? Why hasn’t she talked about it? Okay…I’ll take them one at a time: What did she do? I sought out the advice of my doctors, reviewed different options and together designed a long-term health plan that was right for me based on my health, my body and my lifestyle. Now that I have a grip on what I need to do over the course of my life, I now eat healthier, drink lots of Water, and exercise regularly...for my health. Why did she do it? I listened to my body. I wasn't moving as well as I should, breathing as well as I should or living as healthy a life as I should. I also want to be around long enough to enjoy all the blessings in my life...so I had no option but to make changes. Why hasn’t she talked about it? Let me put this gently: Quite frankly, because it’s none of your business. I understand that I work in the public arena which gives people the right to be curious…but it doesn’t give you the right to be intrusive and I consider my health private. I also feel very strongly that everyone needs to approach long-term healthy living from a personal point of view...what worked for me, may not work for you. I also don't want to be in the position of advocating any particular weight loss method because only you and your doctor can assess what nutritional, medical and physical plan is right for you. I am no expert in this area, but I know one thing for sure: The only long-term plan that will work must start with portion control and physical exercise. Now...as an aside...Do yourself a favor and try to resist buying into the fantasized version of what is the "perfect body". The only perfect body is one that is healthy. Most of the pictures we see that stress us out so much are air brushed anyway...and I should know because some of mine definitely are! Even though we as a society seem to only be focused on size and shape; I think it is imperative that we start to teach young girls that the goal is healthy and happy…not skinny, not fat, not thin or thick…just healthy; and I mean physically healthy, mentally healthy and spiritually healthy! For those of you out there who were asking about my weight because you actually care about me...I assure you that's exactly what I am

Your welcome its addictive too.

Eating more Protein, and less carbs should help with the cravings. Try having oatmeal and a slice of cheese instead of the raisins and honey. Protein keeps you fuller longer and may help you stop with the grazing inbetween. Coconut milk and coconut is extremely high in calories and fat, try eating a fruit thats less sugary like strawberries / cantelope / berries. chicken breast is GOOD !!! Again, slushie, bet it has alot of calories/sugar in it, empty calories. Margeritta and M&M's high empty caloires. There's a great website called Fitday.com its free and you can track your calories/carbs in it. I would suggest tracking everything you put in your mouth for 1 week, sit back and you'll be amazed. Hope this helps. I know its not easy but some times we just don't realize what we are doing until we have a few pairs of eyes helping us along. HUGS !!!!

You got my prayers. Let us know how you are as soon as you can. Hugs !!!

I'm glad your doc found the infection

My DD would be in heaven, she loves animals (me too). I don't mind a few cow pies do you Ivan? Not to change the subject, but I will lol. I can't believe my nutty evaluation is Monday. Lisa, since your stats look exactly like mine..... wanna go take my psycho test (they'll never know ).

I'm also looking forward to getting a bike and riding in public with my dd and dh. ENERGY! My old dresses that are still hanging in my closet. Taking my DD to school and not feeling like the fat old mom Seeing my feet. Walking with my head held high.

Ivan, great info. Thanks.
