ROFL... yes you can start a new thread or do a search. It almost feels like we're darned if we do and we're darned if we don't. How many gms of Protein are you getting a day? and did you know that the body can only absorb so much protein at a time. Hang in there, I'm sure the hair will stop falling out (and I dont' mean when we're bald LOL). Hugs

Then I would suggest not getting it. I also have a 4 cc and am at 1.5 cc with pretty good restriction at this time. I don't know how true this statement is but my friends doctor told her that he won't go beyond 3cc's in her 4 cc band because the tighter you are there's more chance of errosion. So if you don't need it and you can get away with less fills, I think your better off. JMHO. Good luck with what ever you decide to do. HUGS !!

Wow, what a wonderful thread. This is exactly what we need, hope and inspiration. Thanks to everyone who listed their loss. WTG and Congratualtions.

Kat, the next time your out and about with your DH....keep your eyes focused on him and keep smiling, you'll never notice anyone else. Besides, it will make others think he's really good in bed

I think your just being paranoid. Bet those people are thinking the same thing you are..... WOW, what is that woman looking at...is there something green in my teeth, do I have a third eye? Are you sure your not staring at them? LOL Take a deep breath, relax and don't let others bother you. Oh and your DH sounds like a great guy.

I went to hypnosis years ago... walked out and went to Burger King. DH went to hypnosis for smoking... walked out and lit up a cigarette. Umm you can say I don't have much faith in it LOL.

When I was in my 20's and over 300 lbs, I had been hanging out at this bar for years with my friends. Seen the same people week after week, year after year so I kinda knew who were the jerks. Some people (men) would talk to me and some wouldn't. I had lost about 150 lbs in about 1 1/2 years (on my own, starvation if you will). This one guy who would never even so much as glance my way bought me a drink at the bar one saturday night. When the bartender brought the drink over to me, I held it up in the air and looked at the guy like as if I was saying *CHEERS*, smiled, then I bent over the bar and dumped it down the sink. The scum wouldn't talk to me then, then why does he think I would want to talk to him now.....YUCK! and let me just say this for the record, he was one fugly fellow. My attitude since then is, surround yourself with positive people. Jealous people suck! It really doesn't matter what others think, what matters is how we feel in the morning I'm glad you are getting wonderful comments from your friends, and people who truly do care. Absorb yourself in it as much as you can...because you deserve to Hugs !!

Happy Belated but not really Hugs to you !!! Glad you had a wonderful day.

Ummm yes, this would be me.... chocolate!!! The craving: sweets If visions of Cookies and ice cream dance in your head, what you may be craving more than the sugar in these foods is the fat that provides their texture, taste and aroma, according to Somer. Several studies have shown that fat and sugar may release endorphins into the brain (neurotransmitters that can produce a feeling of pleasure or euphoria). This hypothesis may explain why people crave that sweet, creamy taste -- it produces a pleasurable feeling. The solution: Guess what? Good old-fashioned exercise also appears to boost levels of endorphins (they're the same substances credited with the so-called "runners high"). So next time you feel like biting into a chocolate-covered ice cream bar, lace up those walking shoes or hop on your bike instead. You'll get the same pleasing feeling and the benefits of doing something good for your body. If you're on the job or unable to get immediate fitness gratification, you can still get the creamy taste and texture you yearn for from low-fat yogurt or cottage cheese with fruit. I agree with the exercising part, but there's no compairing chocolate to cottage cheese ROFLMFAO!!! Great post Pnut !!

Good Girl !! I'm glad you didn't give in last night. WTG !! Your not kidding we are all in this together. The other day I got up in the middle of the night and grabed a piece of dark chocolate, forgot to chew it and PB'd OMG... Why does it have to come to this in order for me to stop? Wanna bet I do it again (but hopefully not to soon). Head hunger is the pits, its how I gained 99% of my weight. Yikes, your hair is coming out that much? are you getting any Protein in, Vitamins, etc? Mine was falling out quite a bit, but it seems to have slowed down. Scared the crap out of me.

Griz, chocolate of all things, lordy !! might as well have been air ROFLMFAO!!!

Yes, I went on and off of it several times. It just upset my tummy like you wouldn't believe. This was part of my doctor supervised weight loss efforts.

Kellie, feel better FAST ~~~~~ Can't wait to hear from you AND see pictures Love Yah !!

Head hunger sucks !! Most of the time it wins

Yep I'd suggest trying a mans pit spray :hat: Why they think all women are dainty and don't stink is beyond me. What about those under arm shields (kinda like panty liners for the pit).

Love these two, but the one about asking everyone if they want fries with that is funny. Can you see me saying that to my sargent boss ROFLMFAO!!! Page Yourself Over The Intercom. Don't Disguise Your Voice. Put Your Garbage Can On Your Desk And Label It "in Box"

WTG JOE !!! Congratulations, betcha feel like a million bucks HUGS

ROFL !! I asked the doctor if I was skinny yet

So what your telling me is, I AM SANE

I believe you, no, really I do.

Good luck tomorrow Carla !!! You'll be in my prayers.

Congratulations and Happy Bandiversary

Two fills, no flouro for me. So far so good.

Good luck Kellie, we love you !!!

Happy Birthday Lovely Lady !! :happybday: :happybday: :cake: :happybday: :cake: :happybday:
