*slim*

today- b-coffee w/torani syrup, was out so had krystal scambler l-mcdonald's ice cream cone D-blackened salmon, white beans

I paid her for...I mean, hopefully the latter.:tongue2:

Will I be able to google this "research" later?:tt2:

You and me both!:tongue2: Her husband is taking her on vacation. My husband just came home and gave his mom half of my tiny bottle of dishwashing liquid! The bottle cost a freaking dollar, she can't afford that? WTH? She sent this huge bottle that had as much in it as my little bottle, but he put it right in there anyway!

I have never had sushi. I have wanted to try the cooked, but just haven't done it yet because I was afraid that it wouldn't be fresh at the places that I happened to be that served it. I will have to take a look at Greenlife's selection. I really like that store. I am glad that you are doing ok with your band unfilled. I am also glad that the OA meetings are helping you. I may have to check one out. I am still currently seeing my therapist so we shall see how it all goes. I know that vertigo has to be maddening. I have been dizzy before but only when laying down. That seems to be such an odd time to feel dizzy. You should be able to lay down if you can't do anything else. I am glad that you are feeling some better even if it isn't 100% just yet. Sorry about the donut. I bet that was uncomfortable. Thanks about the name. I can't believe I didn't try it sooner. When do you get to go for a fill? That is great Carrie! That is one less thing to worry about. I will be thinking good thoughts for you!

You said what I could not figure out how to put into words. What she said is exactly what you need to do Ebony.

Have fun! Ok, I almost had a plain moment.:tt2: Safety...right..:tongue2: You mean there are other kinds?:frown:

Ebony-(((((hugs))))) I think everyone has give you excellent advice on how to handle this situation. I will only add that you cannot allow them to diminish your confidence. You ARE a very intelligent, capable woman. Don't let their stupidity rob you of that. No matter what they say, you KNOW you can do the job if they would stop moving the freaking target. You will never be able to hit a moving target, so don't start thinking that you aren't capable of the job just because they are being a*sholes about it.

You know, I asked if you wanted to trade... I have yet to hear a response on that.:tongue2:

Morning! I will be rooting for you in the race for the cure. I had two relatives with breast cancer. Don't rub it in. Morning!

Tap I am so sorry! You have had amazingly bad luck with the weather this year. I really hope it turns around to help you out of the doldrums (sp?).

Morning Tap. Are you feeling any better?

luluc-what happened to your avi?

Just thought I would mention that he obviously likes you now. Just saying... It would be strange, but of course, not unheard of. I can't believe that you didn't! I was wondering the same thing?:huh2: I can NEVER find the good sales. I can go to the same store with someone and they find the $300 purse for $5 while I find the same $300 purse for $300.:huh2: Happy Bandiversary! Isn't it fun though? :laugh: Morning!

Hi. How are you doing (besides being ready to eat)? I changed my name because everyone calls me slim anyway, so I decided that would be my name. It is actually what I wanted it to be anyway in the beginning, but I was afraid that someone had that so I added the extra dashes and stuff. Carrie, Corliss-how are you both doing?

Told you I was mental. I have to wonder if the first pair really does have a defect in the sole. It just seems to be a lot softer than the other shoes. It almost looks like it has a flat tire when I am standing up. hmmm

I'm not sure. My doc talked a lot about the discomfort. He told us to wait a year before drinking one. I figure he throws out that date because after a year of not having one, you have broken that habit. Instead, I have picked up other habits to take its place.

It seems like I feel my muscles working harder in the metabolize than I do in the optimize. The sole seems to be softer in my optimize. I don't know if that is a defect or design. I wear the optimize daily (I picked the all back to hide how dirty my shoes seem to get at work:blush:). They are extremely comfortable though.

My mom's birthday party was schedule for the day before I was to start my pre-op diet. They called the Monday before and moved my surgery date up! I ended up missing my "last supper". It worked out for the best because it gave me less time to stress over it. I stopped drinking soda the day I went to the seminar (almost 3 months before surgery). I can't look at a Dr. Pepper without drooling. On my bandiversary, I plan to drink at least 1 soda just to have the taste.

I'm not sure what the real difference is among the different styles of skechers shape-ups. I know that every place that I found them online had different colors of the different styles than each other. Amazon had different colors than skechers.com, but then zappos.com had different colors than either of those sites. They all look alike, but I can feel a difference in my optimize as opposed to my metabolize shoes (then again, it could be mental:unsure:). They look quite alike though.

:lol:

This is the version I bought to work in. They are called shape-ups. This version is optimize, but they also offer metabolize and another one that I can't think of at the moment. If you click on the picture, it will take you to amazon's website. I never found them here, but I live in BFE so you may have better luck in CT.

How is the training coming?

What great ideas!

I have to say that I am finding that what boobs I thought I had, were really just back fat pulled forward.:huh2: Now that I don't have that, I only have the empty tube sock look. Not flattering at all.
