ack. do not call me skinny until I am under 200 at least!!! I don't believe size 16 is skinny in any way, shape, or form. I would watch 24, I've just missed the first seasons so it would be pointless. My dad gets Alias on dvd, so we've been watching that and are now all caught up and waiting for the next season to come out.

I will just read your turtle posts until I have stopped rabbiting and am ready to be a member in good standing again.

ok, glad I'm not kicked out...even though I am doing some rabbiting. what's in the middle of a turtle and a rabbit? I love everyone here and you guys are doing great. Yes, for some people I think there is way more going on here...there definitely should be more weight loss, VQ. And doctors are sometimes incompetent, or as we say, on crack. There just has to be more to it, because it makes no sense. Maybe I am like a faster swimming turtle, and there are box turtles, and tortoises...?

I bought my biotin!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ok, hair, stay put.

did you use a big enough font? I couldn't see what you typed....

ok, when can Lost and Invasion come on again???? I miss them! I am watching the Gauntlet on MTV, The OC, and that's pretty much it. I do love some Discovery Health Channel and TLC...also Animal Planet. But SUNDAY!!!! DId anyone see Extreme Home Makeover CHristmas Edition last week? yay!! and I love Desperate and Grey's Anatomy. I almost peed my pants when Izzy was like "it's what Jesus would freakin' do!"

They can see it's a mess just by looking in the window!!! Ok, if you really want to help you can make me report to you guys what I eat because I am sucking at that right now. I did buy my biotin, and take it every day...I don't eat a lot, but it's mostly bad and I don't exercise. My goal is to start exercising next week, because school and finals will be over then. I just need to be accountable for my actions, you know? Take responsibility. Because I'm sure it would come off a lot faster if I did. Thanks guys!!!

Look at you with your 40 pounds lost!!!! good eating...

Hey newbies!!! Yay! The more the merrier!

drink Maalox like a champ! My doctor gave me a bottle to take home, and it worked for me. Your body is getting used to it's new positioning, so even if you're eating chicken broth, you will get gas. I did. But it goes away, and you'll be all good. Sorry, I don't know about neck and shoulder pain, that never happened to me. Maybe a heating pad will help? Take some ibuprofen. And don't worry about meds getting stuck. My doctor gave me huge horse pills to take right after and everything went down smoothly. I'm glad to meet you, and hopefully you'll come to one of our meetings/lunches/social hours next time we get together. Congrats!!! If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask!

you all are so funny! Teresa, I feel you on that one, if the moon is in the second house or whatever, I can eat some chicken...but on other days, it's a no go. I will never be able to eat soft tacos or burritos or bread again too chewy and they form a lump that gets stuck. we all have to try to be good over the holidays, but I have some good news...I lost 3 more pounds...I am at 209.5, and am closer than ever to my goal of having a weight that starts with a 1 instead of a 2....I'll have to take some pictures of me in my Lane Bryant stuff I bought, so you can all see ! and, ps, don't hate on people's cars being messy - you should see mine! love ya all!!!

that's so funny! I was thinking the same thing, Clint and Stacey!!! I know, as soon as I found out there was a Lane Bryant, I was excited to go check it out. I liked it, best one I've been in!

yay for our meeting!! I had a lot of fun meeting everybody, and being scared by 2 of you aftrewards while shopping!! (you know who you are) I can't wait until our next meeting wherever it is, and guess what? I actually remembered to bring my digital camera but forgot it was in my purse until I left Friday's. Too bad the service was horrible, but that's alright, we handled it, or rather, teresa did! Love you all and see you soon!!!

You're right, you're right...next time I pull a rabbit, you will definitely be the first to know. It really might be due to stress - lots going on right now, so if I can stay down through the holidays I will be happy. I feel so far away from my goal sometimes, I don't ever think I'll graduate. Maybe I'll get my GED instead.

ok, I did maybe pull a rabbit recently, but trust me, it took a long time to see any movement on that scale! I mean, you would think we could lose like 10 pounds a month...but no. That's okay. We can do it, even though it SUCKS big time. I am a bad bander - I try to eat well, then I fall into the chip pit...plus I love Coca cola! With a passion. Really. So, don't kick me out of the Turtle Gang just yet, my weight goes up & down...hopefully it will stay down...question: remember Chipotle burritos? drool, drool

yeah, chicken is not fun for me either...too bad I don't like fish, but salad has been ok - we'll see. I think I'll get a ceasar salad. Your doctor didn't give you a fill? He said you have to cut the carbs first? That seems weird - I guess I feel like if I am gaining, then I should definitely get a fill.

ok, turtlers!!! what affects do Prozac, blood pressure meds, and sleeping pills have on the whole weight loss thing? I feel like something more should be happening...while I have lost weight, it has been 30 lbs. in 5 months, which is good, but now I'm stuck. That is less than 2 pounds a week. and what vitamins do you guys take? especially for hair... photosynthesis - by jove, I think you've got it!

ok, I might have lost 1-2 more pounds, but I am reluctant to change my ticker. I'm afraid the weight will say "oh no you don't" and fly back on...what is everyone ordering at Friday's????

you can do it, you are stronger than me, that's for sure it's hard when you are the same weight for awhile, I have definitely been there, and I did get really down, but it turned around for me, and it will for you, too

ha ha LMBO, that's a good one...how about ROTFL - doesn't that mean rolling on the floor laughing? I have one. LSHIPMP - laughing so hard I peed my pants!! not really, but I thought it was clever...ANYWAY I have an NSV! I can now wear size 16 jeans. Yes, you read correctly. Me. Wearing. Smaller. Jeans. woohoo! I'll wear them on Sunday if they still fit by then...

ALERT! ALERT! I have fallen off the wagon (and bruised my butt) Today so far I have had a Sprite and ruffles potato chips. That's all. What the hell? (excuse my French) Why do I have no willpower and why do I do this to myself???? Ack.

that's so funny - and nice! I'm not a big hot tea fan, but I like iced tea. hopefully the place will have splenda sugar packets, but maybe I'll bring my own just to be safe... I can't wait to see you and LSasha again...now my lunch will be bigger than both of yours, with you getting fills and all...I'll probably just get salad...or fried shrimp with french fries!!!!! NO NO NO, ok, I have to get that thought out of my head. Good thing you all will be there to cover my mouth when the waitress asks for my order.

I just wanted to tell everyone to be careful, especially now that the Holidays are coming. My car was broken into Friday, and my purse, credit card, bank card, cash, and make-up was stolen (but they left my wallet...). People are getting desperate right now, and looking for $ and presents, so I just wanted to tell you all to be careful at night, don't leave your purse or presents in the car and everything like that. I live in a good neighborhood - some people just walked up my driveway looking for anything they could find. Luckily, all they got was $12, a FAKE Gucci purse, and my make-up (now, I am upset about that, Bare Escentiuals is good stuff) but I cancelled my cards before it was too late. I was upset about my purse...for a second, because it cost 2 bucks at a yard sale. ANYWAY, just watch out and take care of yourselves and say a prayer for those doing without this holiday season. Love you all!!!

I used to live out of my car, too! Not anymore...so, you going to do the model walk for me Dec 11?

I hear ya, me too!!!!!!!!!!! maybe after finals I can focus on me....
