Kid's football, Yoda, kid's football!! LOL

(all we wanna see is some sexy bods anyways!!!)

How about blurring your face out, if you don't want to show? Or just cut your head off in the picture?! Wheezy.... you're not shy, c'mon!!!!!

Thank you guys I should try something like that hot tamale thing... hmmm.... maybe I'll go down to the corner store by work tomorrow and see what I can find. My routine is that I wake up, go outside, have a smoke, come in, have a shower, get ready, go to work, get coffee, have smoke, go into work. Then at about 10:30, I go for another. Then again at lunch.. maybe a couple. Then again, mid afternoon, about 3:30, then when we get home after work, then a couple times in the evening. It's alot... not as much as I USED to smoke though... before the last time I quit. Then I smoked a pack a day. At least now, a pack was lasting me a few days. I should be smart, and actually take $20 a week and put it away (along with the $2 a day for coffee!) Wheezy! Guess what else! We went and ordered our glasses this morning... Dan's getting new ones too. Remember I had those cheap frames from Walmart? Well, my insurance covers up to $150 towards glasses, so I'm using all of that towards my lenses... and that's how much they'll come to. I'll have the anti-scratch and anti-reflective as well. (I had my optometrist app't last week) Apparently my glasses I'm wearing right now are TOO strong. My one eye is + (or -?) 0.25, and the glasses I'm wearing are (+ or - ) 1.00 ! So in a few days I'll have new glasses too!! Woo! I was looking through my calendar.. and realized it's been a really long time since I last measured myself (not since May). I finally found my tape measure the other day, so I just went into the bathroom and measured away. I blew my mind, yet again! I almost think I MUST have measured wrong somehow the first time, cause there's no way this can be. Just ran to our office to show Dan how much space there is inbetween me and the measuring tape, where I used to be! HEAD - WAS: 23" - NOW: 22.75" NECK - WAS: 16" - NOW: 14.25" CHEST - WAS: 55" - NOW: 45.5" WAIST - WAS: 48" - NOW: 38" HIPS - WAS: 54" - NOW: 45" THIGHS (around both) - WAS: 43.5" - NOW: 40.25" CALVES (around both) - WAS: 30" - NOW: 25.5" LEFT ARM (wrapped loosely around biggest part, waddle and all) - WAS: 18" - NOW: 16" RIGHT ARM - WAS: 18.5 - NOW: 17" Yes, I measured my head! LOL I shoulda measured my ankles too! grand total : 40.75" Gone! To anyone who hasn't already, or is going to be having surgery, I would highly recommend doing some before measurements. I started off doing it every month after surgery, but I find it a pain in the butt! Every few months is good for me!

Yeah, maybe! But really... even if it doesn't, don't go thinking your eating too much! How much could you have eaten BEFORE this fill?

Haha, crazings? Was that a typo, or perhaps a Freudian slip? Nope, no plan.... but one thing I AM going to do, is make my own coffee in the morning, as opposed to going to Tim's every morning, which leads to me stopping for a smoke before going into work. (plus I'll save money!) Other than that, I'll wing it. I'll be ok.

Well... it's best to get your Protein from the meats (or other protein rich things) you should be eating. And if you do like you're supposed to, eating the meat portion of your dinner before veggies and/or carbs, you probably won't have a problem getting all your protein in. I wouldn't worry about it too much. Oh, what restricted diet are you talking about ?

Because it would be overtaken by Yoda! No... I don't know. Why don't we?

Neenagh, what ever happened with the beotch who hit your car? Or can you not say, without incriminating yourself?! Tell us anyway!

I really don't know... I'm just guessing!!

Yeah, well... no one's gonna tell you you ate too much!

I just gotta tell someone... since I haven't told Dan. I had my last cigarette a couple hours ago. Now that I've finished dinner... I'm starting to feel the crave! Let's hope this Wellbutrin/Zyban helps (or is already helping!)! Harass me about it, ok guys? I haven't told Dan that today was the day, just because I didn't want him to bug me, or try being all sympathetic

I know what you're talking about... I think. Is this it? http://www.bevnet.com/reviews/stacker_protein_water/ I tried it a few months ago. It wasn't great... from what I remember. I recall it being really sour... as you can imagine, from grapefruit and sour apple! I had the grapefruit. I got mine from Shoppers Drug Mart... how much was it at Walmart? I might give it a try again.

I think that's not enough food!!!! (but I'm not one to talk, so consider me shut up) Can I tell you what I had? - 9am - coffee - 1pm - 2" sub (1/3 of a 6"!) - 3pm - cookie from Subway - 7pm - maybe 1/2 - 3/4 cup of hamburger helper (I really gotta measure this to see how much I could eat) I'm probably done for the day... but now that I've talked about it, I do have that cookie dough in the fridge! AH!!! I should just eat it to get rid of it! LOL, how many times have we said that!?

I think Americans get so hungry they could eat a horse... and WE get so hungry we could eat a caribou! LOL

She probably just doesn't like football! LOL

Uggghh... don'tcha just hate it when parents are supportive?! Lucky you got out of there.

Oh yeah... LOL...congrats on the loss and possible loss of even more, Yoda!! and yes, stay away from the caribou!

You wanna know what I did? I bought one of those packs ready to go in the over, Pillsbury cookie dough... the kind you don't even have to slice.. they're in perfect little cookie sized blobs. The most I've ever had at once was 2, and they've been in my fridge for probably a month! Probably only cause I forget about them, since I put them in the crisper. My point is... I too would have normally eaten those in an evening.... I probably would have just bought the tube, so I could have just eaten it that way. :omg: That's my confession.

Oh yeah... did she weigh you one THEIR scale? How much different was it that your home scale?

Awesome, Cloe! I hope this does the trick for ya!!!! Let us know how it's treating you, and be honest!!

In MY younger days, I woulda said, "WHAT!? SEX without booze?!" :heh:

You know... it doesn't make sense that your ticker doesn't work when you're at home... tickerfactory tickers are just URL's, and not something that's saved on your computer... I use a computer at work (right now) and at home, and my ticker shows up all the time. Hmmm... weird.

Awesome! You should put something like "Christmas Goal" on top of it, so people don't harass you and say "Sheesh... getting the lapband for a measley 12 pounds!?!" :thankyou: Or else put up your total lost ticker too... I love seein' it!

yes, yes, I agree... I've never seen the TLBC, but it sounds nice. And I can see someone running the other way when they saw 'our' clinic. Trust me, I thought 'what the HELL!?" when I walked in. It just doesn't LOOK like a place that should be doing surgery... accounting, maybe... surgery, no. Not that it's dirty... it's just, not a doctors office/weight loss center/plastic surgery clinic. The new building will be VERY good for them, I'm sure.
