    Let's Talk Movie Review

    Yes Road house....I liked the movie. Been yrs since I have seen it though. I seen a good movie yesterday called Miss Ever's Boys. I love to watch fact based/ true stories. It really was making me mad at points. If you haven't seen it, it is about Tuskegee, Al. and how the gov. used people for human Guinea pigs. My rating an 9 I surprised myself the other day. I watched a movie on Beatrix Potter (famous Aurthur of children's books. Petter Rabbit) Anyway I do not like Renee Zelwigler. I think she can't act. But I actually liked her in this movie. Now if she could do just as good of acting in her other movies. Rating 8

    Funny story on size of womens Clothes:

    I am 4'11. Capris are pants on me. If and it is a mighty big IF I find pants in a petit they still are 3 inches or more to long. At layne Bryants I had stopped shopping at the store because the store didn't carry my size. When I asked why they had gotten where they only carried up to a 20 they replied.......are you ready..........There wasn't as much a need for larger sizes anymore! All I know is I look all over my city and see plenty of fat women other than myself! So I shop at Catherines or some times order from Layne Bryants catalog. But Layne Bryants clothes for my size has gotten really ugly and expensive the last few years. I forgot who posted about the arm holes! I raise my arm and you can see everything from my armpit to my waist and 1/2 my girls!:thumbup: So I can't raise my arms except from the elbow!:smile: But it is getting so much better. Soon I won't have these complaints anymore. I'll just have to find other complaints.

  7. I felt like it was bogus for me. With my weight and eating habits, it had me needing to eat fish almost all the time. I HATE fish and seafood. I tried to redo it and use chicken, but didn't work for me.:smile:

  9. A blender is a necessary tool. I can't live without my blender!
  10. I Think just about everyone goes in spurts. For some it is a day or 2 some it's longer. It's human. Yes you said it "it's about progress, not perfection" I like that saying. I will have to plagiarize!:ohmy: LOL

    Mar 20 Minus 74 lbs side

    You are looking soo good! Keep up the good work.
  12. Welcome Michael. Sounds like your getting things under control. That is good. I don't Yahoo or I would check out your other sight. I will have to check for your Dr's book. My Dr has the band so I can ask anything and he knows where I am coming from. I love him to death! I agree that my Dr. (Dr. Groves) saved my life. Good luck on the rest of your journey.
  13. Welcome Sita. Congrats on your awesome weight loss. Don't let your Dr. try to discourage you about your goal. You will do it. It definatly has to do with the way you eat now along with the band. So when you get to your goal ask him to eat his words:laugh:Good luck on the rest of your journey. Looking forward to knowing you better.:ohmy:

    I hate it when people post just to post.....

    Me to. I don't FB. I did a couple of months ago and got a horrendous virus that shut me down for 2 weeks. Soon as I got my puter back I deleted it. So maybe someone who does FB can tell them to pop in once in a while. Welcome home CC. read above post please and follow directions.Say bu-bye to chocolate right now! You'll get used to it quicker than you think! I thought I would never get over my kids all leaving, but heck within a few days I was loving it! What is so funny now is if they can't reach me at home they call my cell and if I don't answer it they call my sister's home. If They can't find me they fall short of calling out the FBI!:tt1: When I finally get home and call them back it's 50 questions! I love it! Now they know how I felt when they were teenagers and would come home past cerfew. So with sympathy for you right now here is a group pity party. Everyone ready? 1...2...3......AAAAWWWWWW:ohmy: Good luck with school!

    To be in the Light..By DC Talk
  16. Welcome. Your wife is a very blessed woman to have a husband like you. Willing to help in anyway possible. Personally I would donate the Pepsi to a homeless shelter or if you attend a church then there. Soda is not good for the band. Make that clear to your wife. Ask the surgen. Ask your wife what is most important to her, the band or pepsi. The other way is by no means an easy way! The band is a tool not a cure all. You have to learn to work with it. Eat right and excersize! There is a recipe section on here. It has recipes for all 3 stages of healing. Clear liquids, mushies, and regular foods. You being a chef (?) will help a lot. You wife and I are the same height! Congratulations and good luck to your wife. Congratulations to you for your 80lb weight loss. Good luck and keep us posted. Both of ya'll! :tt2:

    yes consistency is very important. Kat are you sure we're not related. I slept/sleep the same way. But some habits are hard to break. When any of them come back and stay for various reasons, I sleep lightly again.:tt2:

    Thank you! She is short and so am I. I think she has a great body. A girl can dream to have a body like hers! I have trouble picturing my body in the body of a tall woman who has a great body. I come out fat again! You know you have to scruntch that body up to fit in mine! LOL

    I want to have Sara Michelle Gellar's (?) The Ghost Wisperer. Man I just had a bad senior moment when I can't remember her name. It killed my kids when I would tell them sorry been there done that. I lectured them on drugs and the whole 9 yards. I told them I didn't want them to make the same mistakes I made. I let them know that NO matter what their friends would say it wasn't as good as they are making it out to be. :sneaky:That seemed to help some. So glad they are grown now. Now I deal with the grandbabies. Harder to say well nana did this or that to them. Nana is supposed to be good all the time! Boy are they gonna be dissapointed!

    NSV Thread for the May Bandsters!

    I am now down to my last bra. I had several really good bras that I couldn't wear. Some were brand new. I was just to lazy to send them back Thank goodness I had at least 1 sometimes 2 bras in different sizes. Well I have gone down 8 band sizes and like I said I am on my last bra. The good thing about this is I can now buy from regular stores again instead of having to order them or go to Catherine's and pray they have my size in store. No more having to spend $35.00-$50.00 per bra. I will spend that if I want to or I can spend $20.00. YEAY!
  23. Some people are slow losers. I am. I am happy with what I have lost so far. I was banded in May and have lost 55 lbs. This is weight lost not gained. When you hit your sweet spot you will start losing better. Just be patient. 44 lbs is good. Good luck with the rest of your journey.

    Octuplets and SIX other children??!!!

    Years ago I actually had a woman in a BMW tell me I didn't know how to work the system. She was receiving foodstamps and I needed them and couldn't get them. Yes I was angry when I couldn't get help! When I pay taxes. I almost died in "89" had emergency surgery. Lost my job because of it. I was told to sell my car and live off of that money. I had 3 small children and no help from my ex. Now how in the heck was I supposed to be able to job hunt, take my children to the Dr. or go to the store? My value on my car? $ 35.00 over the state allotment at that time. They no longer use your vehicles as counting towards your income. Which is good for my kids. Otherwise they wouldn't be able to get FS. They work hard but still fall short after all bills are paid. But I am sorry Patty that I fall short. Unlike you who are so perfect and don't think anyone but you are allowed to have an opinion. Especially if it doesn't match your thinking!
