That was AWESOME hahahahaha

Not only are you adorable, you're funny too! Also know that YOU ARE INSPIRING TOO!!! keep up your phenomenal work and keep us updated with your progress ????

"Just eat smaller portions and exercise, that's what I do when I want to lose a couple of pounds" (Said by my friend that is super athletic & fit and has never dealt with weight issues in her life) "Just take appetite suppressants or diet pills" (Said by my BFF that knows I have a rare disorder that makes me allergic to pretty much any medication)

Oh yes A big THANK YOU to stephh!! Count me in for the next challenge.

I think this is a bit harsh. You do know that not only are we not all English speakers here but, we are also at different levels of education and also is the fact that these days many of us multitask, and as such one task often suffers- usually for me grammar and punctuation during texting.I often text in a hurry and sometimes make mistakes. I am also multi-lingual and it takes a great deal of effort to get it right all the time. I did say "gentle advice" in hopes that she wouldn't be (too) offended. I was nice and just trying to explain that in order for us to help her, we'd have to first understand what she was asking or saying. You probably didn't see the original post, it was one humungous run-on sentence. It was very difficult to understand - that's why the first few posters were saying "huh?" and "I don't understand what you're saying." After she corrected her original post, she had a lot more responses, advice and tips etc because she was being understood. That's it. That's all. I totally get it that people are bilingual and that their 1st language isn't English..... I live in Canada.

I made my goal AND BEYOND!!!! goal was to hit 239.8 today Weighed in this morn and was 235.8!!! No idea how I lost so much over the course of a couple of days tho! Now I'm paranoid that if I weigh myself in say the next week that I'll see a gain. *sighhh*

as you said: you tried it, you had fun, and now back at working towards your health. good for you! I doubt everyone is perfect all of the time so don't beat yourself up about it and carry on

People on this site!!!!!! They rock. Plus to be honest... Ummmm....myself. I've done this before (with the band) and I KNOW I will do it again.

I don't like food at all now. Nothing tastes good. Nothing smells good. I'm never hungry. I have to remind myself to eat and drink. I have heard this happens but never in a million years did I think this would happen to me! I do hope I will enjoy food again someday.

good old fashioned 80's floor aerobics work those hammy's and glutes! you'll have to find some sweat headbands, arm bands and leggings tho. "let's get physical, physical, let's get physicaaaaaaal"

HOLY!!!! that's an amazing loss! Congratulations on such an accomplishment! If I were you, I wouldn't sweat it if you do end up stalling, you've done so awesome! You deserve a big huge pat on the back!

We went to a local restaurant called The Copper Pig. My husband and I shared this ginormous platter of MEEEEEEAAAAAATT. it consisted of ribs, brisquette, (spelling?) sausage, steak, pulled pork, chicken, bacon, homemade potato chips, baked Beans, potato salad, coleslaw and cornbread. it was da' bomb!!!! and a big huge beer. hmmmmm beer.

@@Dub YOU HAVE SUCH POWERFUL WORDS YOURSELF! both posts you made in this thread were so powerful and so well written. Actually, I always like what you write. You are a true leader and are on your way to conquer this weight loss beast! Anytime you comment, you are amazing and inspiring. You go guy! @@Djmohr you ALWAYS have such wonderful and motivating comments! I also always enjoy reading what you have to say too!

I went out for dinner last night for the first time post surgery! Went to Earls and had a bento box but only had the salmon (without the sauce) - and only had about 2 ounces of it. I think I did ok! Oh and I tried on a pair of jeans that 6 weeks ago I couldn't even get up over my hips and I completely bypassed the "almost fit" stage!!! They went from being way too tight to wear, to TOO BIG!!! YAY!! (Wore them anyways just because I could ) That totally pumped me up for the evening! This is really happening!!!!!! Can't wait for more NSV'S! !!!!!

Checking in today at 241.0 I hope to hit my goal of 239.8 by Monday but I doubt it. Oh well I'm happy with the loss anyways!!

Awesome response!

Also just some gentle advice. .... You are allowed to use periods and commas to help us understand what you are trying to say. They help. A lot.

I'm so confused......

9 days for me. And yes take stool softeners! And don't be weirded out if your poops from now on are a light light brown in colour. And smell different. Unless those things are abnormal.... someone tell me quick! LOL

So crappy! Sorry to hear this! That sucks. Wish you well and speedy recovery

There are far too many of us from "band to bypass" I did have the band but had it removed 5 yrs ago because for 3 years my body was rejecting it. I had RNY a little over 5 weeks ago and doing great. No regrets. (Well, except not going with the bypass from the very get-go) Good luck to you and hope all goes well!

Is this vegemite a US thing? Never heard of it or marmite! (I'm Canadian, can you tell?) LOL

Holy congratulations! That is so much for such a short time! That's awesome

That's a great idea! I actually have these looooooong mixed together songs on my Playlist. Some of them are like an hour long. All Michael Jackson songs remixed and amalgamated and such. The best songs of 2014 all remixed and amalgamated and so on. It helps pass the time for sure! Unless you've listened to that track too many times and you skip it... then you've literally just skipped an hours worth of music! Another thing I do is put my towel over the keyboard thingy so I can't see the time or what interval is coming up or anything. This way I don't dwell on how much time I have left and concentrate on keeping up to the beat of the songs. Keep up the great work!!!

Super awesome NSV
