Tsk tsk Froggi - and you just dissed someone for having fecal britches!!! :whatchutalkingabout

That's my point, Frogger - she's SO fit/toned that she has no fat where her veins could hide! Believe me, you'd love to have her figure! She has a Kelly Ripa figure.

Damn girl - it's a good thing that there was no one asleep around me. I just cackled loudly.

Susan - one of my gf's is training to do a full triathalon. (Um why?!?) She took off her jacket the other day and I was shocked at her arms. She's prob 5'2", maybe 100 pounds and you could see the veins in her arms. OMG I have no concept of that!!! She and her triathalon hubby are thinking about starting to try for a family sometime. I can't help but think they won't have enough fat!!! (Yes I'm JEALOUS!)

Pix - over the weekend, I was wondering "now what is that poster's name whose hubby should be home from serving soon?" I'm so glad you posted and so glad that you only have a week to wait. Yippee! (And yes, I miss my memory!!)

<pondering> Do I want to draw out the obvious "bean bag" and Speedo comparisons?? Off topic - anyone noticed how Law & Order uses the same actor numerous times? I just saw a red-headed defendant that turned out to be an ADA on another series!

Plain! Where have you been?!? Oh how I have missed your crudeness! :tt2: LMB - hopefully it won't take me TOO long to achieve "hot worker chick" status! :whatchutalkingabout

i'm confused - you can't do tech sales & travel b/c of the demands you have at home on the ranch? (that sounds so texas!) one of my gf's went back to work PT doing prescription sales - she had sales experience from before she had kids.

Wow-that's amazing! Does he usually do that without being begged? After I get skinny and get me a man, will you teach me how to "train" mine? har har

Oh and I don't wanna fail b/c I want the Stalker to kick himself!!! 0:-) See "Ugh MEN" thread.

Thank you so much for the response! I just did the stalker thing and looked at your blog. Clearly one can tell that you have done SO well! I need to remember to take sideways pics too; they're major! Ha - What stupid thing did I notice...that you can see your eyes more clearly when you smile! Of the 900 reasons to hate having my picture taken, that one is up here! I have the chubbage cheeks and my eyes look like slits when I smile. I clearly need to go to bed, huh? Congrats Jaime and keep up the good work!

I think now that surgery is getting closer to being a reality, I'm just wigging myself out. The stupid DS thread about how LB should be taken off the market b/c it doesn't work (esp for the SMO/MO) just freaked me out. Screw them and their stinkiness.

Froggi - you're not worried that you'll eat around the band or do stupid shit we've done to get to where we are now? I am in NO WAY saying that major weight loss cannot be achieved; I'm just afraid I won't/can't, that's all. My insurance paperwork should be submitted this week so I'm sure this is just a case of cold feet! I just have my hopes up so much that I don't want to fail. I am beyond sick of being obese! Jamie has done fabulously well as have WASa, Jachut, and others at goal whose names I cannot at 11:27pm come up with! I'm not even scared of PBing, sliming, et al. Again, I just don't want to fail! I've always been scared of the GP/RNY b/c I've know of 2 people that died from it. One of my gf's locally was the poster child for RNY until she started gaining weight back this year. :-X The band, to me, just seems less scary. (Yes I'm a chicken-sue me!!!)

OK Froggi - stop posting OH threads! Now I'm getting paranoid that I won't lose any weight having band surgery as I am MO!!! For the first time, I'm wondering if I'm doing the right thing...

I too have a magic wand friend. Thankfully she doesn't know about DS (that I know of)! She's the kind that only eats once or twice a day and "wants a pill that will tell her cells to let go of the fat." I'm bigger than she is and I'M the one telling her she needs to eat healthier options more often, etc. I wish I had a magic wand too; I'd be skinny and married to George Clooney!

You are not; shut up! Mac - we're on LBT so we are/were already there. <shrug> Nothing would surprise me though re: making money on obesity. I've known people that think that companies are making money on cancer. Who the H knows.

Arrrrrgggggggggg!!!

It's the weekend....just wait a couple of days!

ROFL!!!! Is that a wink or do you need an eye patch from an unfortunate lawn dart game?

How about some "real" summer sports: (advanced apologies to the southern half of the world) - best BBQ'r - best lawn mower, edger, weed puller - best ice cream maker - longest time in the sun without burning - best organized closet - miniature golf - lawn darts b/w 2 middle Eastern countries might be fun Gasp, I watched men's basketball earlier....the Stalker's fav. GAH

It's definitely a *growing* problem with me - my ass is definitely growing!!! MommaMac - you clueless, clueless woman. (sarcasm alert) Of course we can't spend money on any problems domestically, we only have the funds to spend money to *help* other countries - esp those with that delicious, delicious OIL!!! Screw spending money on education - we'll just pay for welfare or prisons. Why have physical education in schools - being fat is FUN! Drink out of a plastic bottle - filling up landfills and using a non-renewable resource is awesome! (Yea I'm not above it either but I do recycle. Stay with me here.) Lastly, Yahoo has just fallen into the tabloid journalism ways like everyone else has. Who needs real news when we can have 'crying wolf' journalism? Truth schmuth. AOL is just as bad if not worse. Can we pls have one day without a picture of a pregnant celebrity (or speculating if someone's preggie)? Non-sarcasm finally - my apologies to the OP of this info but I read on here about a series on PBS about fat. It was pretty good! FAT: What No One Is Telling You . PBS

AMEN esp on this site! you lose weight until your skin is loose. your/you're is annoying too. your is possessive; i.e. your car. you're is a contraction for you are like "oh, you're having surgery on the 18th? congrats! your clothes will be loose in no time!" I watched badminton last night and thought: 1. this is an Olympic sport? 2. why are these skinny girls sweating so much while doing it 3. whyyyy am I watching this!?! PS- I just looked up the spelling and their birdie thing is called a "shuttlecock." Gotta love our language...

WHY YES, YES IT DOES!!! Nite, gf - go to bed!

UGH. Suffice it to say I'm feeling pretty bloated right now so I do NOT need to hear that, Froggi!!!!!!! lol

Froggie - have you lead us to another "spit vs. swallow" thread?
