Oooooh tattoos on your side of your torso are so pretty. I have a friend who used to be really fat, then she moved to New York City to go to college. She is broke and doesn't eat much and walks around all day and she ended up loosing tons of weight. She just got a tree tattooed on her side and its so beautiful. I have a big tattoo on my lower back, its a peacock and it starts in the middle of my back and winds down to my right butt cheek, I call it my glorified tramp stamp haha. I would love to add more to it, to have more flowers going up my back or something, right now there are big fat rolls in the way, haha when I got it done I had to make sure the peacocks head would not dissapear when I stood up lol! OH and Dolly Lala, the same friend with the tree tattoo gave me this tidbit back when she was fat, if you know your gonna be walking around all day, put some deodorant on your inner thighs, I use secret clinical strength. I went to Provincetown in Cape Cod on Saturday, and all we did was walk around outside the whole day. In the car before we got out I put on deodorant on my inner thighs and was able to walk around for 5 hours in a denim mini skirt without having to reapply! I didn't have any painful chafing issues and couldn't have been more comfortable! Try it out!

Hey everyone! I though it would be cool if we started a thread that just has what state and town or city where everyone lives. That way everyone can see if there is anyone else on here that lives close by without having to search through a bunch of older threads I live in Attleboro, Mass, 10 mins north of Providence RI and 45 mins south of Boston.

Hey I'm just wondering how your getting so much protein in everyday bandfan? I drink a protein shake everyday, but like thin dolphin says, they don't really give me any restriction and DO have a lot of calories so even though they are supposed to be good for you, I'd rather have an egg or a piece of cheese or something. I can't seem to get in much protein, I'm trying to eat foods mostly protein rich, but they are also fat rich, eggs, cheese, chicken, are my main staples pretty much. Hold in there thin dolphin! My scale has been stuck on 202-205 the last couple weeks and no matter what I do it won't seem to go down! I lost weight pretty quickly after surgery and now that it has stopped I'm pretty dissapointed. BUT I'm not giving up hope, I'm going to decrease my portion sizes, try to stop eating those little bites of a chip or cracker here or there between meals, drink more water, and get my butt in the gym a couple more hours a week. Good luck with everything!!!!

Ugh I've been stuck on the last 2 or 3 pounds for the past couple weeks. I've been working out a lot and eating pretty good, its so frustrating! I got my first fill today so I'm just on liquids right now, I'm starving!!!! I've lost 17 pounds since surgery, 27 all together. I'm dying to hit under 200 lbs for the first time since freshman year of highschool!! Congrats to everyone who has had so much success!

yay I got my first fill today, it was no big deal, I just hate this whole, back to liquids thing. I'm starving!

My favorite store has always been Forever 21. Before it was just, I would buy whatever fit. Now I actually have to pick and choose because I like so much and more and more clothes are starting to fit! I have no idea how skinny people do it!!!! I'm gonna be buying everything! I spent $88 hahhaha...

Hey everyone! For the past couple years my BMI was in the high 30s, and was 39 when I started researching back in September. After the holidays, I put on some weight without trying and was 41 ish at surgery. Now my BMI is lower than it was in highschool, I'm so excited!

Hey everyone! I haven't been on much lately, but for the first time in forever my BMI is under 40!!!! YAY!

Oh yeah and by the way, by too much food I mean like 2 handfulls of curly fries and 2 bites of a chicken quesidilla.... so I guess thats not too bad... although I haven't been able to totally stop drinking with meals... hmmmm

I'm getting my first fill on the 14th. I'm so nervous! I haven't been having a lot of restriction with no fill, so last night I went to Hooters with a bunch of my friends and ate way too much food. I felt fine, but late that night I kept burping some of it up... ewww.... But I'm just so hungry all the time!

ugh so I need to vent. This guy I've been dating on and off for the past 5 years, well, sucks. I slept over his house Tuesday night, left Wednesday afternoon, and went out with friends Wednesday night. I woke up this morning, and I found out he asked this friend of his out, and now they are "in a relationship" according to his myspace account.... I felt so pissed off and hurt I went to the gym and had a great workout. Now I'm finally going to try to spend some more time on myself. I feel like I'm in 6th grade again. Apparently hes just not that classy, and I thought I had him pegged after 5 years... 1/4 of my life... Sigh, just needed to vent...

I finally went to the gym tonight! It felt great but now my legs hurt, haha just wanted to let someone know that I finally got of my ass! lol

I bought some but haven't taken any yet. I'm pretty curious too, I'm always wary of taking medications that haven't been perscribed to me, even vitamins lol

I went to my doctors today, I am finally on solids!!!!! I have another appointment in 2 weeks. He said if I was really hungry during the next 2 weeks then I will have my first fill at my appointment, sooo hmm lets see how this goes!

Congrats Nicky!!!
