P'Nut didn't mention: 4. Tell husband to shut the window. RIGHT NOW. I just take the punishment approach to food: If it smells good, tastes good, or makes you feel good: It's bad. Dawg's Concience: "You don't deserve it for all the misery you have been putting your body through all these years, you B*strd!!" It sure did smell good though :puke:

Honestly I think its too much to ask people to be kind and loving all the time. Show me a single example where this happens in your daily life (other than spouses, perhaps). Anything from the pissed off boss, to the sarcastic joke from a friend. They all can hurt your feelings and its up to you to figure out how to deal with it. This is a forum, a meeting place where people get together and openly discuss subjects and express their opinions. Every word on these boards are opinions (even the stuff recorded as a fact). If we could all be loving and kind all the time it would be fabulous. It isn't going to happen and its unrealistic to even think that it could. As for the concept of cautioning someone. I can support that totally if its a direct insult: Dawg, you are a scumsucking SOB and need to STFU. But if its something like: I personally think your decision to use Dr. Blah shows lack of foresight and I question why you would do such a thing... That's not an insult. It's an opinion. A forum is based on the guiding principal of "Freedom of Speech". I for one do not want a candy coated LaLa Land where we are all afraid to open our mouths, in fear of hurting someone. I respect everyone's opinion, and I respect anyone's right to disagree with me. We are here to provide support and friendship, but we're also here to discuss a topic which can raise high emotions.

Weigh in day: C. 276.5 N. 274.0 --------- D. -2.5 I need to up my protein a little. I will continue as I have been this week and I will get a new reading. If I have lost greater than 2 pounds I will increase my protein by 32 grams (can o' tuna).

I poked around and the pager didn't work in either IE or FireFox. (IE V6.0 Service Pack 1) (FireFox V1.5.0.1). As the pager system is very new, its probably just buggy. The page shows up as being present, but when you open the dialogue the page message isn't displayed. Personal Messages work fine in both browsers.

I use firefox and IE with no current problems. I'll have a play with it though and see if I can figure out what might be happening.

The band is a tool to weightloss, how well you can use that tool will be something entirely in your hands. 80lbs IMHO is too fast. As the other Dog said though, work it, work ir hard. Eat right, eat smart, exercise. The difference can (and if you work hard) WILL be amazing. The VERY best of luck!

I'm just big boned. Yes, thats right, I have a 200 pound skeletal structure. No... reallly.

Welcome to LBT We look forward to sharing your journey. Wait, I said I wasn't going to say Journey anymore. We look forward to sharing your ADVENTURE!

Welcome to the madhouse Whatever path you take, I hope everything goes well. Be sure and stick around and keep us posted. It does not matter what path you take to reach your destination, just so long as you arrive safely.

I personally haven't seen much other than acceptance, but then I'm not asking for much support or feedback on anything. I honestly believe that anyone who asks for support on here will receive it, no matter who they are. As for whether or not you belong here (you being TommyO) that will have to be an entirely personal call. I know a lot of the bandsters feel bad about the "Erosion - the Real Facts" thread and a lot are removing their comments from the thread. This is making the thread even more incoherrant. You need to understand that thread blossomed in the space of just a few hours, and was a text 'argument' where various people's feelings were hurt. People get defensive, and the entire thing went south - fast. I recommend giving it time. I've seen genuinely wonderful and caring people on here, who give back what you put in. All the best.

Having looked at the pictures I recommend: Fang Killa Slayer. If you want a more pedigree sounding name, I'd go for: Blood Talonthrust Marybell TrixieFooFoo the III

Start weight:307 Curr Weight: 276.5 Weigh day is tomorrow. Currently eating between 800 to 1000 Cal. a day. Depending on what I see tomorrow I will adjust my diet. If I have lost greater than 2 pounds I will increase. If I don't lose or maintain I shall stay where I am.

Every doctor does things differently. The goal is to shrink your liver.

Monkeys are an acceptable goat substitute. Unless they misbehave. And a wise man once said: "If the dog misbehaves, do you blame the dog, or the person who trained the dog?"

As the founder of this new language, I will add "swe" and "syou" and other "s" words. "swe"et.

Fainting Goat. Rad. I want one.

Actually, even as a guy I've found some 'man' habits more than wierd and repulsive. I think the tip top on my list is the good old "farmer blow". It goes like this: At a red light, come to a complete halt in accordance with the law (though if you can terrify the granny in the civic infront of you, please do so). Open your truck door. Note this only works in trucks, preferrably a beaten up '80s chevvy. Apply one finger to the side of your nose, lean out the door and blow sharply. Repeat the process with the other nostril, if necessary. If chew is also a factor, please feel free to spit the juice, as close to the car next to you as possible. Please note, the possession of testosterone, does not automatically equate to abhorant behavior. And I did see that about the inflatable sheep Delarla, as a matter of fact I have given those as a gift myself. When a friend from New Zealand left a company I used to work for, I gave him one inflated with helium on a ribbon. It bobbed merily around the ceiling. If you've never tried it. Do so. You could tow it behind the ride for many amused looks (and a really interesting ticket from the first cop you meet).

My wife and I have considered this idea just for comedy sake and because it will be a good solid memorial. Every time you lose 25 pounds, buy a bag of dog food, cement, soil - whatever you like. Make sure its a 25 pound bag though. Then place it in a large and humerous stack in your garage. Every time you think "mmm chocolate" or "mmmm mc donalds". Walk into the garage and look at your "stack o' whatever". Then try and pick up your "Stack o' whatever". When you see those 2, 3, 4, 5 (and so on) 25 pound bags, I suspect your motivation will be... enhanced. Feel free to join us in our insanity!
