My DH says there was a character on Star Trek who had the same face as Rons stomach. he tried a couple of weeks ago to find the name of the character or creature but didn't have any luck and isn't a big enough trekkie. Me I see gills, yeah I know its not nice but we all see what we see. Maybe if he wasn't such an a$$ we'd see a good personality and not some idiot condeming what we believe in (WLS) after all he said he was proof it didn't work so if hes the WLS spokesperson that makes it worse. By the way hes the one who choose to take his top off in front of the world

The black team would have been the tie breaker and they had already said they would send sister Aubrey home, they saw her as the biggest threat to them and Kristian had immunity. So in order to keep that from happening mansy didn't let it go to a tie, she felt her sister Aubrey needed to be there more than she did

All the numbers shocked me. I was surprised the blue teams didn't kick butt and the blacks suck bigger, but it just goes to show why we are on here sometimes saying I can't seem to get the scale to move. I felt for the blue even though I'm rooting for black. Sometimes there just doesn't seem to be any explanation for what our bodies do to us. Not to be cruel but her 2 lb gain could have been from water retention from her cycle, who knows. A million explanations, none of which I'm sure were good enough for her. The black team needs to get back to being tough if they want to stay out of the elimination room. They have to burn those calories off as well as extra to loose. I think they all seemed to realize luxury came at a high price, but could have been higher. The scales should be interesting next week.......is it just me or does anyone else think Capt Kristian is annoying as much as Ron?

I know I am going to soooooooo regret this but the truth is we are probably all guilty of descriptive names. I for one hate being referred to as "that redhead" or "fat redhead" or any other descriptive term but we do it. I do it and I'm willing to bet so does everyone else at one time or another. It doesn't make it right it makes us human

Welcome to the board Brian, glad you decided to join!:thumbup:

They've offered similar type prizes in other seasons, not all but if I remember correctly it always bit the winners in the a$$/ I so would have given blue this challenge even though I totally hate to loose anything. OK, I can say this about my DH since we already discussed it during the show. Jillian had the right to be disgusted with the team for the smoking, drinking and the way they ate.......I didn't think this was the appropriate time for Filipe to go off. (This is what my DH does, I get upset and complain about something he throws something else back at me and neither gets addressed). I don't know why he didn't get individual training but it wasn't an excuse for the food he ate on luxury. I am probably sticking my foot in my mouth but I did think Bob should have sent the cousins back to work it out. Both sides are playing the game, not just black. Once again we have to look at brown dad for another week. If Kristen hadn't had anonymity I think I would have sent her home, she seems to be the "Captain" of blue team right now

While my Dr said I was the one in pain and the one starving during fluids and mushies, the weight that I lost I didn't truely get credit for. It wasn't as if it was me and my band working together. A lot of it is water weight and differant people have differant amounts to loose. Once your swelling is down and your own reg foods then its up to you to attempt to control the scale till you get your fills. I've lost and gained and won't get my first fill till next Mondat so right now I'm just doing my best to adjust to 4 ouces 3 - 4 times a day. I keep wishing the scale moved faster and even have to remind myself I was told if I wanted to loose overnight this was the wrong surgery. Hang in there it happens. I'm seeing the scales move a bit and now I feel like I can take a little credit for it. I can't wait till its me and my band working together. I had a lot of water weight and once it was lost the scales froze. I think I would have rather seen it come off slow that 20lbs to gaining some back. Bandster Hell is so appropriate.

Good Luck Jennifer, you and your hubby will be over on this side in no tme. Did they put him first so you'd be able to take care of him his first week? Bad joke I know but around here thats how it would of had to be. Think thin and healthy you both will get through it

Yes I do.....they ran some tests about a year ago or so and decided I had IBS but didn't tell me anything

No bun just a weenie with some slaw on it. I did read where someone else could eat ht dogs, I'm just surprised its still messing with me but I know one thing just in case low fat weenie of any kind are now off limit and probably just to be safe slaw as well........

and all this time I thought they were crack heads

True but is eating protein last good advice to give when your showing people working out 6 hours a day and more at high levels of intensity?

Son't get me wrong I really look forward to watching the show each week but theres something else that bugs me. I've looked for seaon one episodes and can't find them anywhere. Every show good or bad is now on dvd but now bl. Could it be that they want people to forget, was that one winner who put it all back on? Pennies worth

A couple of weeks ago Bob gave a meal tip and I realized how differant we banders are from the people Bob was talking to. He said to start by eating the lowest calorie count foods at meal time such as your salad then something else and the meat last. It seems so unhealthy to eat in that manor to me. Granted I drink additional protein but trying to cut out my main course and typically the protein just didn't make sense for me or anyone else but I'm sure it makes sense to someone.......

They've had strangers on there before and you and someone from here could be lb strangers or something catchier sounding than that

They show pics of him in bibs weeding the garden or something and doing other things but they never show anything that looks like it could have been taken after his wls, lets face it the odds of having rny and not loosing a pound are low, yet he says hes proof it doesn't work. Looks like to me he just at to many pieces of pizza and gained whatever he might have lost right back. Sorry about the caps but i can't see well enough right now i promise i'm not yelling at anyone. I just hate the thought of beong lumped in with him, and we wonder why people are so negative about wls. What about tbl winners who gained all their weight back, notice they never mention them grrrrrrrrr

Michelle cried and wanted to go home the first 1/3 of it or close to it then bam she snapped out of it and went for the win. Ali isn't as fresh in my mind so I'm scared I might confuse her with one of the others from her season. I made the mistake of looking at the clock when it was time for Mike to go up and knew there wasn't enough time for them to vote off 2 players so I'm telling DH he has to obviously makes it when DH says no it will be continued. I was pissed. Each week the show something in the previews for the next week, we knew the black team had won the challenge and gave something great to the blue girl whos name I can't think of now. We should have known when we never saw Sione loose it on Jillian that it would be a ....to be continued. I can't wait to hear him go off on Jillian, not because I think she failed him but as someone over weight I know I have blamed everything under the sun when I didn't loose what I thought I should. I'm surprised I have a working set of scales in my house LOL temper temper. I'm guessing where Sione didn't pull his weight that is what sets him off especially if poor Mike doesn't pull that 10. While I think they have great trainers, equipment and other things there to help them, ultimately its like us and the band. We choose to make the band work or not work for us, not anyone else. (unless your one of the few who had band problems and had to have it removed, beyond your control). Guess I need to get off my rear and call and schedule my fill then get busy exercising before I've eaten my foot

Beth DH just informed me that Hulu has to wait a week and since that was a split show who knows.

Its NBC hun and you can see the episodes on Hulu.com

Thanks, and yes I feel stupid LOL I was thinking marathon something.

Keeping in mind the cliche that theres no such thing as a dumb question, could someone please tell me what a MO is, I'm lost

Sugar free fudgesicle, 40 calories and I feel like I just treated myself to something big when I didn't. I was at my super thin daughter in laws and she was having a drumb stick 360 calories and I'm thinking geeze thats 9 fudgesicles to her 1 look who's laughing now

Guess you all got the worm and I get the 1st plce solid gold trophy

Yesterday was my education session with my Drs nurse right before my surgery on the 23rd. One of the things she highly recommended was a product thet gives 42 grams of Protein in just 3 ounces. She stated that females need at least 80 grams of protein a day and this made it an easy way to get over half. Theres a website I ordered from earlier today liquid Protein Information and Product Listings - Fitness First USA I purchased 48 vials for $56.00 which seems expensive but if your doing the shakes for protein then you know its about the same only this has a lot more protein. She highly recommended them for right after surgery and those days when we know we won't be eating right and protein amoints will fall short. Personally I felt a little vain but I want to loose lots of weight not lots of hair so I ordered some for me. Theres a lot of other products as well that look good you might want to consider. They do have a referral and bonus program, please if you decide to order I would appreciate it if you used my name (Saundra Rotherham) and you can do the same. I also have a promotional code which brings the shipping down to only $1.00, as far as any one knows it doesn't have an expiration date and it did work for me its OCONUS1. She did say that right after surgery a lot of people split it in half. She also said while she likes the taste as it is some people put in it Water, sugarfree koolaids and such to help with their liquid intake. Lots of luck everyone I hope some of you find this helpful:thumbup: I should add they throw in two vials free and if 24 is more than you want to start with they have a 12 pack in each flavor as well. I'm gonna start with grape in case I want to add to my grape crystal light. Saundra

Thanks for using me as the referrer, so far grape and blue raspberry I've enjoyed I think next I'm getting 24 each of blue raspberry and fruit punch. :thumbup:
