Yeah, that IS cool, Wheezy! I'm amazed when I hear of people who've been friends and still are inseparable since kindergarten! But yes... being a spy would be cool too. I didn't mention it, Yoda, cause I wasn't sure you'd want everyone knowing... but since you blew your OWN cover.... tell us more!

Congrats, Yoda! That's fabulicious!

put it in a cat carrier... you could throw it on the plane!

Oh my goodness... "the market"!!! How do you keep track of them? Are they tagged? Can you send me a little black one?

Hey, anyone else think we scared off DebRN (I think that was the name)... the Dr. Beausoleil patient?

perhaps by the time I have a highschool reunion come around.... I'll rent a Porsche, and hire an escort.... LOL

Ooooh, yes... Grey's and House! I almost forgot. I don't think I can talk to you guys anymore. Too many good shows to watch. And Yoda, I knoooow! I'm so excited. I haven't got the money yet, unfortunetly, but hopefully next week. Hmmm.. what will I do with it? Probably pay off my Visa... and maybe get some furniture shipped down here. I NEED my couch!

Wow, did you? That'd be a cool thing to be able to say. But now you need to move to Nfld, just to get that under your belt!

I decided after tonight... I never want to eat in a restaurant again!

I was just thinking.... I'm 99% sure I'll be going home for Xmas... and if I do, I'll likely go to 'the bar' in my hometown, on Boxing Day (night), because thats what everyone does on that day, to see everyone they haven't seen in a long time. How sweeeeeeet would it be to blow all those jerks (I say that cause there's very few people I actually care about seeing) away with me being a weight they probably haven't seen me at since I was ... hmm... 16? Pretty sweet, I think!! I would especially like to run into my ex. I *know* he's in a going no where job, and probably still the biggest loser around. Better off for dumping me? Hmm... I think he did ME the favor. I wouldn't be where I am now if we hadn't broken up. I just might have to thank him. *twiddles thumbs in anticipation* Ooooh... that's some good incentive. I almost wish I wouldn't go back until I was at goal, but I gotta!

*cough cough* Canadian... anyways, I don't have any regrets either. I'm very happy so far. The hardest part for me is that I get a little depressed when I can't eat what or as much as I want to... it gets frustrating. But I'm obviously still getting accustomed to this whole new world of.... eating to live, not living to eat... I guess.

Woo hoo!! Is there anyone who's going for anything OTHER than 8lbs?! 4 weeks in September! 2 lbs a week! Can we do it? I'm sure gonna try

Woo! Sign me up for the 8 POUND CLUB! If I can do it, and keep it up til Xmas, I'll be able to get to 200!! That's my only goal, 8lbs for September.... ending me up at 223.4.

haha, I'm glad you enjoy my chronicles! I went to school in SK. That's pretty neat about the Nelvana guy Cloe, c'mon.... you birth lambys! And raise their less attractive parents... among other things.... right?!

Thanks guys! No, I won't be going with him.. unfortunetly! LOL, I'll tell him I need a better present than a cookie! So... today was crazy. SO much chaos at work... and everyone was hungover. I don't know why they'd have something like that on a thursday! BUT... I finally got, and signed my contract. I ALSO got a very nice little 'relocation loan', which I will only have to repay if I don't stay there for the length of my contract (which ends Sept 07). I wasn't supposed to get it, because they never originally 'offered' it to me, but after hearing of new people (like my friend who just moved here) getting it, I went and 'inquired'.) Hey! I don't wanna miss out on that! I spent just as much money as anyone else moving out here, right? Right! So that's pretty cool... I definitely can use it. Thankfully, I don't need to work this weekend. I brought a little bit of work home with me, in case I'm bored, and wanna get ahead a little. I got my new TV... it's fabulous, and nice and big. Now I just need cable. I get CTV ok, but... my shows are gonna be starting soon, so I need to see them all, and crystal clear! Anyone else counting down til LOST starts??!!

Wowee! Welcome green! We have such a cool assortment or jobs, don't we?! Dog breeders, lamby birthers, airplane builders, animators (<---me!).... errrmmm... and more that have escaped my memory right now. Congrats on your upcoming surgery! You're in for some excitement Mandi

It worked!!! Awesome! Lookin' good! I'm gonna to do something with your pictures this weekend. It'll be good. I see lamby pictures in my future!

Hey guys! I think I might work at the coolest place ever. I just got home from a big 'studio night out'. It was the 'awards ceremony' for this competition that Dan was in.... at a pool hall. A 'client' supplied a keg of beer, and my boss ran a tab for everyone. I don't know how much it ended up costing him, but imagine 30-ish people drinking as much, and whatever they wanted.... plus they ordered pizzas. Anyways... Dan won. He got a 30GB iPod video, a leather studio jacket, and a trip to the Ottawa International Animation Festival next month. Pretty coooool! So, yeah, I'm damn tired, and I have to work tomorrow... for at least half a day!

I was exactly 6 weeks to the day, as well.

Me! me! I actually ate real things today, kind of. breakfast: 6 mini-wheats, and enough 1% milk to soak 'em in + coffee snack: nope lunch: a Lunchable (6 crackers with turkey and cheese) snack: the mini KitKat that came with the lunchable dinner: leftover pizza (from last weekend, yuck)... I ate some of the toppings, and threw the rest away. I think I need to keep drinking coffee in the morning. I really miss it. Maybe now that I can eat in the morning, I can start again. (no coffee on empty stomach for me anymore)

Oh you... I wouldn't keep a slime cup in the car! If I use it, it'll get replaced! Now, about the colon cleansing... I just *inquired* whether any one had ever tried any of the products marketed for that... it got gross, it got interesting, and it got contraversial :huggie: ... Yoda just can't handle it! LOL You brought it up, Yoda-pie, you better hope nobody here wants to start talkin' about it!!

I'm so wrapped up with this place, I didn't even KNOW what was going on 'out there'!!

So..... BC pays for fills, or your fills are included with the cost of your surgery? I'm confused. If the prov. gov't doesn't cover 'banding', why would they cover fills?

Hi guys. I had a thought today.... it's about 4 months til Christmas... and I *should* be going home for it. What do I want for xmas? I'm thinking: TO MAKE IT TO 200lbs (or preferably 199) !! I think I can do it. It would mean ALMOST 2lbs a week, everyweek for the next 113-ish days. Uggg.... that's pretty risky to hope for. That would make my TOTAL loss 84 lbs. I'd go for 75, but now that I've got the "200lb" idea burned in my mind... THAT'S what I want. I'm gonna do it. I'm gonna try for getting to 200lbs by Xmas! Now that you've heard my whole internal struggle with this... go about your business! LOL I just might have to make a ticker for this!

2.2 more pounds for me today, guys. That's more like it. No more several pound losses! I can eat better... but still not much. I had a WHOLE (still small though) bowl of cream of brocoli Soup yesterday, and I was STUFFED. Umm... did I post my weight earlier? Errmmm... I'll pretend I haven't.
