kaninag

*OH I almost forgot, I had to by a new bathingsuit this year because mine from last year-WAY TOO big hung on me like a rag doll *My husbands mom has really never said anything to me about how I look like I have lost weight or anything, she was over recently for Zachs bday and it was awesome outside so we put on our swimmies and Im walking down the back porch and shes like turn around for me. OH my goodness you have lost SO much weight you look great :sad: *I have more energy!!!

*When I was skinny ppl would always tell me how young I looked I guess the fatter I got the old looking I got...well the other day a coworker that I have only seen once asked me how old I was I said 26 he said honey you look like youre about 16 years old..I was floored...THANKS I said. *I get looked at more. At first I thought my zipper was undone or my bra was showing thru, nope Im good. Not used to that at all and it really makes me feel uncomfortable. *My butt fits nicely in my car seat now:) (I have a SRT4 with wanna be racing seats so theyre a snug fit to hold you in)

Thats how I was until I got a slight unfill .25cc now I eat breakfast, I dont hurt when I eat and I still get full quickly...of course this is coming from someone who hasnt lost a single freaking lb in about 3 weeks or more now...

Lets see if I know the answers to any of these, I love to ask why as well!!! Why is it that only the junk food goes down easy?- I think it is the fat and or sugar components that melt easily in your mouth and stomach...maybe just a WAG Why is it that 12 grain bread makes me slime?- it expands as soon as it touches liquid or spit?! Why is it that soft boiled eggs run through a chopper hurt and hard boiled eggs the smae way dont?-soft boiled eggs are sticky..?! Why is it whenever some one ask about your surgery they want to see the scars but when ever you offer to show some one they run away FAST?!?- never had that happen but I dont have a lot of ppl outside my family that know about my surgery. Why is it that only the skinny people say your not that big? bc they dont want to make you feel worse about yourself even though theyre thinking "yeah standing by him/her makes me look even skinnier, hell yeah!" Why is it that plain m&m's go down smooth but the cranberry juice backs up like a slums toilet.-?????? Why is it that I am posting this thread!-cuz! LMAO

YAY!!, that is a great NSV..I think the NSV threads are the best motivators!! Keep up the GREAT work!!!

WOW, jason you paid a lot!-not really I think I only paid total out of pocket 500 maybe 600. I didnt even start having md copays until this past feb so free md visits for over a year. I wont be at the meeting either, let me know how it goes!!!

I would say youre trying to eat less, order soup and I hold my spoon in my hand a lot..makes it look like youre eating even when you're not. I'll take get a spoonful, put it back down. I'll do that 2-3 times in between bites, nobodys ever noticed or at least theyve never said anything...you could also say you read a study where its good to wait 2-3 minutes between each bite to give your stomach time to react to being full....I think you'll notice the difference more than others will. I also put a straw in my water and act like i am taking a drink from time to time...Good luck!!

I think there should be a bottom 3 and America votes. That way theres no game play and these ppl will focus on what they are truely there for.

Just talk to her and ask her to respect the fact that you want to keep the fact that youre having surgery private...sure she can tell ppl about herself but leave you out of it...and ppl may think that youre trying to lose wt the natural way to help your mom....Good luck.

LOL, I didnt do it it was already done when I opened the spreadsheet. But all you have to do is click on the link and if you wanna change your numbers just find your name and click on whatever number you wanna change, type it in and hit enter and just close it and youre done. Hope everyone is doing good!!!!!

My bad, I was able to pull mine up if you look on the form I attatched at the top youll see charge and then all the numbers below that...hopefully this will help!! Dates Of Service.doc

could you imagine though how your knees would be after all those years of 300+ lbs on them...I bet he doesnt have any cartilage left in his joints which makes for bad bad bad pain! So I can imagine that he had a hard time, even though it is his own fault you cant change the past..so maybe he will lose enough to where he can have knee replacement and then exercise all he wants!

it would really depend on what type of contract the insurance company has with that hospital bc they would get billed at a discounted rate depending on their contract. like the hospital i went to billed my insurance 30000 for total costs but it was discounted due to the contract they have with empire blue at 11000 total. big difference huh.. I think my total costs for the anesthesiologist was about 400. Either way she can always set up payments thru the hospital and make whatever she can afford payment wise each month. Hope this helps.

Taken care of alleycia!

YAY!!!!! Thats great!!!

Laura was completely and totally selfish. I thought surely she would man up admit that it wouldnt be fair for her to stay since she really couldnt exercise and Tara (I love her) only wanted her to stay for the extra vote! Laura should have gone home-she was growing on me too. But Ron was right on this one. Kristen still has a long long way to go.

Whats going on saturday? OH yeah the meeting..lol. j/k Dont know if I'll be there, got finals coming up but I'll let ya know. If you come sunday maybe you could bring it then :wub:

Hugs right back atcha...I go see the doc I thin the 27th. I havent gained anything yet but its like geez how in the world can .25 make me all of a sudden feel like I have NO restriction. I may have him put that other .25 in unless he can do 1/2 of it.

AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH, what is going on. *dramatic I know* well, I got my .25cc taken out what almost 2 weeks ago now...I feel like I can eat a house. I'm able to eat breakfast now and I have been eating 2 hardboiled eggs around 7:30 but then by 9:30 I am STARVING.....GGGGrrrrrrr I can pretty much eat whatever I want now...what, this is crazy .5 fill last time was too much how in the world can .25 out be soooooo much different...what should I do everybody b4 I start gaining weight back.......

Ho hum, so I went and got .25cc taken out last week and I feel like I can eat the house.... .5 in was too much but it seems like .25 out is too much...whats the deal thats such a minute amount....LUCKILY I havent gained anything! But of course I havent lost either......................reaching onederland is gonna be a lot harder than I thought...

I'm sure some are.

YAY!! Congrats, did you fly straight home after surgery?

WOW, This thread is kind of disturbing to me. My husband and I started datingin 2001 my senior year in high school and I wore 9/10...thru college quickly gained weight...well I went on a diet around 2004 or 5 and lost 50lbs no problems...looked great felt great was back down to 9/10 almost an 8 :eek: and we split up...I felt like I had to be free and needed sometime to "be young" we ended up getting back together and of course over time I gained the weight back plus some....we got married 2 years ago...I love my husband very much but these statistics are kind of scary. I have noticed that I feel better about myself and have been getting noticed more by men and I dont mind it one bit......:w00t: I just dont want to go down that divorce road I am very happy where I am but like I said these statistics are alarming. Maybe we should start counseling...not that we really have any problems...if I dont like something Im not one to hold it in long and neither is he..so we have always communicated our differences.....which I think is good and we're bestfriends...well I will def keep reading on this thread to see how others are doing.

Bob especially generally tells his team who to vote off.
