Hey all I don’t know if any one is lookin to buy a imitation magic bullet but if any one lives near a J.C. Penny they have something one sale call the 5-in-1 Power Blender with attachments and its on sale for $19.98 and you can also buy it on line. I hear so many people say this helped them in there puree stages but the real bullet cost around $100.00. I just thought I could save us some money. But if any one has this and can give some insight that would be great. I would hate to but a piece of junk.

Well ladies this is it my paper work went in Monday!!! :thumbup: I have started my journey since November 15th 2007 and it is now October 22, 2008. The Doctors Medical Assistant gave me a date of November 14th :wub::wub:can you believe it’s almost year to date from when I started. But I just wanted everyone to keep there fingers and toes crossed because she said I should here back from her on Monday.:thumbs_up: I gone on so many web sites and read so much that I’m getting nervous if this really happens. :smile2: I really want to post a success story with all my goals that I have accomplished. And my first mini goal is to run on the treadmill for at least 15 minutes straight with someone calling 911,:blushing::sad_smile: (LMAO) because BABY I’m a mess just after 1 minute of running.:crying::scared2: And of course my super goal is the weight, but everything will come in its time. And its funny because when the assistant called me she was like you have stayed the same weight for one year. She said she has never had anyone do that, so in the back of my mind I was like great I should have made some changes in my weight.:sad: .......Have one little conceited and selfish goal..:wub::rolleyes2: 2 years ago I brought a pair of seven jeans from lane Bryant now ladies if you shop in lane Bryant you know how pricy they are. Well I brought these jeans in a size 18:scared2: for $25.00 with all my coupons original price was $90.00 and when I wore them they were skin skin skin tight :ohmy:I only wore them once but I was workin it that night I was told.:thumbup: So my conceited goal is to get back into them and work it out again… LOL:blush::laugh::w00t: Will keep you all posted.... Later Dawn

Hello all I just wanted to ask a question. I wear spanks from lane Bryant and I were them all the time. If and when I get banded can I still were them? Because these babies are a life saver they really hold you in and make things look smooth. I wish I knew about them when I had my son because the girdle thing I could not do all day, but spanks I could do! So my question again is can you were them after being band? Will it hurt the band? Will it move out of place? Thanks to who ever answer this thread because I know your advice will be honest……

:laugh:Hey everyone hope is well.... Ok let me start by sayin has anyone saw the new Essence Cover?? Mo'Nique is on it an she looks great :thumbup: as i was reading her story on the bottom it started to talk about her fitness makeover:wink2: now i have read things on the internet that says she went under the knife lapband or gastric. NO NO NO she lost all her weight naturally and dont get me wrong i"m not hatin(well just a little:tt2:) but i really wish i could do it like her because she looks GREAT GREAT GREAT!!!!!! in the story she says she was 257 then and now she is 232 but when i saw her in concert she looked much bigger and when you see her on tv she also looks big, i know tv puts weight on you but she wasnt that big of a women. because im 290 and i feel i look around the same size as her (meaning body shape) but im MUCH bigger than her. it just makes me think i put so much time into the research on lap band i just dont want people to say well why didnt you try this why didnt you try that, because i have tried all of that but im still a big women. but i know the choice that i have made is my choice and its the right choice for me..:smile: quick joke in that issue it talks about men an how they LOVE us full-figured women and ladies these men are fine:tt1: i had to laugh because thats what my husband tell me i love all of my full-figured wife:laugh: Its just something to talk about with all my Girlfriends. Dont forget ladies my last visit is wednesday hopefully and prayfully i will be getting my date very soon:smile2::confused::smile2: TTYL!!!!!!!

I WOULD DIE TOO IF SOME ONE TOOK THEM :smile2::cursing: I LOVE THEM:wub:!!!!!! THANK YOU:thumbup::wub:

Ok I have something to talk about and please give me some insight... I feel were all kinda like family and friends so here it is… what happened to Carnie Wilson and Al Roker we all know that they had gastric bypass surgery done. But has everyone also noticed that they gained there weight back? Well not all the weight for Al Roker but have you seen Carnie Wilson?? I see all these wonderful looking people on this sight and everyone is so happy they lost there weight 3, 4 and 1 year post op. my question is were are the old timers?? Were are the LBT’s that joined 4 and 5 years ago? How are they doing? Are they still maintaining there weight lost? It just makes my nervous that I could be the next Carnie Wilson that looks great for a while and then I blow the hell up again. Please I am a fighter and this is truly what I want but I’m pretty sure they felt they same way. Now I live in New York and I watch the news every morning and Al Roker looked sick for a while then he gained some weigh and looked better, what if that’s me what if I look good being a big girl( nah!!!!!! I’m only kiddin I rather be skinny) but all jokes aside what if im the one that looks sick after I loose the weight? I just wanted to know if any one else has seen these people and thought about the same things….
