it would be the best best best.

It will fosho!!!

Oh damn. I want a bite of ice cream. I want a cheeseburger. I want a brownie. That all sounds amazing. According to my fancy dancy electronic scale, I'm 55% fat. So here's the deal miss dee . . . If you have 57% bone and muscle,etc. in your body and you never build even one more ounce of muscle, your ideal weight should be 57% of what you weigh right now plus another 31% of that. For me, for example, 45% of my 195 lbs is bone and muscle,etc. . . . so approx 88 lbs. Let's say I wanted to be at 31% body fat. So another 30ish lbs would put me at a total of 118. So because my frame is really small and I have basically no muscle, I need to lose a LOT or build a TON of muscle to get down to a decent level of body fat. YOU on the other hand, are well on your way!! You should be really proud of yourself.

That's awesome!!! Maybe that's what I need . . . a Frosty! I"ve been craving one like crazy!

Chiming in re: stuff. I can't wait until we move forward with the motor home plan and get rid of all our stuff. It has taken over our lives. Seriously. I didn't realize how bad it was until we built our "treehouse". It doesn't have stuff in it . . . just what we need to get by. And it's absolutely fine. It will be awesome to just get the "stuff" monkey off my back. My whole paycheck goes to supporting our house and our stuff. Yikes. So I decided to try an experiment and eat more calories for a few days in a row to see if maybe I was in "starvation mode" or whatever. Promptly gained back the 2 lbs that I lost last week. Swell. I am SOOOOOO discouraged right now. Well, back down to the basement to help hubby.

okey doke. I added you in the post above. Man, why do so many of us have this "every other week" loss going? Why can't we lose EVERY week?

I will not make a naughty retort. I will not, I will not, I will not :thumbup:

Okay, here are the week 2 weigh ins thus far. Denver, did you say you were at 0 this week? I thought I saw that somewhere but didn't write it down. Did I miss anyone else? Congrats to all the losers, BTW.

Oh, Marcy, what a dolly baby!!! You must be so proud. How's the weather up there? My oldest brother and his wife went on an AK cruise last week. While I'm pretty sure they understood it wouldn't be tropical, I hope they packed for the weather.

:thumbup::laugh::laugh::laugh::cool2::laugh::tt2: the eighth grade boy in me is totally cracking up.

It's still a big seller . . . at least here in Utah. But then we are kind of behind the times . . .

hmmmmm, blue dolphin. interesting . . . .

Okay, just laughed my ass off for the past two hours. Well, actually, my ass is still there, big as ever, but I laughed so hard at Lisa Lampanelli that my cheeks (the ones on my face) are killing me! Brandy, I am soooooooo happy to hear the news about your DH. That's fantastic. I hope this will take some of the stress off of you and you'll start feeling better too. I think a lap band ladies weekend of revelry would be the BEST!!! OMG we would have so much fun. And we'll all be total hotties in another year. WOOHOO!!!!! PAAARRRTTTAAAAYYYYYY!!!!!! dee, when you go to bed tonight, try to refrain from thinking about the big boned banana man. Or chili cheese dogs. Or these two bananas doin' the nasty.:thumbup: I'm thinking we all need to chip in and buy dee a lady toy to alleviate some of her, ummmm, pent up frustration.

Yes, I'm sure she'll raise a few eyebrows! We saw Sam Kinison do a show here back when he was still alive and I have never laughed so hard in my life. But there were a few people who left. Margaret Cho was here a few years ago too and got quite a reaction! Strangely, SLC is a pretty liberal place (predominantly Democrat, nonMormon, large gay population, ethnically diverse) but the rest of the state views us as the equivalent of sodom and gomorrah (or whatever that is). I doubt Lisa Lampanelli would be invited to BYU for a show :thumbup:

I'm really looking forward to it. She just kills me when I see her on TV. I'll bet she has some pretty funny things to say about Utah.

And some more stuff: Yes, Shelbi, it's just you. Mal, congrats on making it all 35 minutes last night!!!! Did Buster go with you? Did he do any swearing! I'm down 2.4 lbs. this week. YAY, finally!!!! Some downward movement. I'll update the list tomorrow when everyone's reported in.

Hallo lap band ladies. Shelbi, HAPPY BANDIVERSARY!!!! 88 lbs! That is so phenomenal. Brandy, hope you're hangin' in there. I can certainly understand why you would be crying right now. When will you get the pathology reports? Denver, glad to hear your arm is ok. Sorry about the bandster hell for you and Tally. Not a pleasant place, fosho! Munchi, I LOVE Superbad. I know I shouldn't love Superbad, but I do anyway. In fact, we watched it for our Christmas Eve family video. Yes, we're that kind of family. And I am an eighth grade boy wearing a middle aged professor costume. What can I say. I had my test this morning, and aside from wanting to barf, it was fine. Won't know my results until Monday though. I am going to see Lisa Lampanelli tonight. If you know who she is, you're probably gasping right now to hear that she's performing in Utah. If you don't know who she is, that's probably for the best.

I'm so glad the Tucker-man is feeling better. His diet sounds pretty good!!! The last year or so that our lab was alive, DH would take her to der wienerschnitzel every day for lunch and buy her a hot dog. It was so cute. I'll bet the acupuncture will help too. Hey, where in Oregon is your cabin?

Ok, that would make me ralph.

When I met up with the ladies the night before my surgery, I had a FABULOUS steak salad with yummy cheese on it. It was really really good. And the company was delightful!

Thanks. I hope I don't ralph. I can't even drink OJ in the morning or I get shaky and sick feeling.

Gorgeous!!! The tat, the poem, and your rockin' hot body!!! Look at your waist!!

OMG!!!!! What an incredible difference. Wow, you must be soooooo proud. You are about 1500000 times prettier now. Wow wow wow.

Okay, I know I"m waaayyyy behind in the conversation, but Munchie and Dee - congrats on the new pants!!!! That is just too exciting. Mal, I'm so glad that you're getting a fill. Good girl. And the fact that you can run for 25 minutes is incredibly impressive. I can't run for 25 seconds. Having my oral GTT in the morning. Not looking forward to it. Sugar in my bloodstream on an empty stomach makes me feel like CRAP. Oh well.
