Oh my!! :thumbup:

Have to agree there. Either I didn't see what others did in Carla, or like you I just didn't see her as being anything more than dominant which is different than being a bully. Omg, I didn't snap to that!! Was it really the one that came from home that was all up on her high horse?? Wow... Okay, THANK YOU!! I about had a heart attack on that one!! I know there have been times when I either gained a pound or two or simply didn't lose, but I went down a size. How does she explain that??

Thank you very much for your insight, Green. I will do just that. And to Glouc, sorry for the hijack.

Green, question for you -- and if it's too forward, I fully understand you not answering. If you knew you could get tested for the cancer gene (and maybe you did, but if you didn't...) would you? I ask this because my mother and HER mother both had breast cancer. My mother had it when she was only about a year or so older than I am now. My sister has also had stage 0 pre-cancerous results as well and had to have a duct scraping (I think) due to it. It has been suggested to me a few times to get the testing done, but I worry that eventually that will be made available to my insurance company and I will be denied if anything ever does happen. I am very conflicted about what to do about that. Certainly if I am prone, I want all the heads up I can get, especially since I'm fat which makes it harder to detect AND even more prone to it. However, I can't help but worry that there WILL come a day when all of this would come to light, even if I paid cash, and I would cause myself some real trouble. Thoughts? I hope you're doing well, btw. I watched my best friend suffer from it and I hate it with a passion.

Oh, my, that's NOT good... :cursing:

Yeah, the blue team has been rockin' it. As for Carla and Joelle's "friendship" before the show, I kept calling them friends because that was how they were listed, and honestly, I forgot Carla's name. :cursing:

Ma'am, no ma'am!!

BWAAAAAHHHHHH!!! :cursing:

More to the point, did you punch it with your elbow? :cursing:

No, actually I didn't see the body language. Carla may SEEM like a domineering jerk to you, but I see somebody who, pretty much from the get-go, wanted to do this. Joelle, on the other hand, wasn't really into this. She almost took the money early on, and she didn't push at all most of the time, losing TWO pounds one time and ZERO tonight. That would make me seem like a "domineering jerk" too if I came back to Joelle's blase attitude constant whining and excuses as that's all Joelle seems to be able to overwork is her mouth. Joelle may not be The Biggest Loser, but she is a loser in my book as far as relationships and team spirit go.

Omg, Joelle is such a self-centered bitch. I am GLAD she's gone but sad for her friend. The friend worked her butt off and lost out because Joelle could only offer lip service yet again. And to think that all these months later she won't even talk to her friend?? With friends like Joelle, who needs enemies?

Problem is, though I absolutely agree with this sentiment, what could anybody have really done, other than trying to have her committed if they thought she was "off" (no easy task, I assure you).

What I read said that she had filed, wherein she lost her house, and that's why she's living with the folks. That makes more sense than the parents having filed.

Brandy, here's info on COBRA. It is federal, as I thought it was: COBRA Insurance - What is COBRA Insurance?

Ponies are cheaper than big dogs. :confused:

IF she is independently wealthy and able to take care of them all herself, I don't care what she does. However, if even ONE DIME of taxpayer money is going to this silly woman, then any one of us has the right to have our say. And considering that she lives with mom and dad AND had a bankruptcy less than two years ago, I would bet the farm that we're paying SOMEthing for these kids.

Wow, you're really being put through a test! I too pray you get to go home soon. I know it is MUCH easier to keep with a program if you have some consistency in your life. I am that way too.

It's not too late to throw that pie away, is it...? :tongue:

Hello and welcome! Their office is wonderful, isn't it?? Once ColoradoChick and I figure out what we're doing, we'll let everybody know (she and I both went back to school...).

A coworker heard on the radio that she was upset that corporations weren't flocking to help her like they have others in the past, but I don't know it for a fact. Can't find anything that claims that from any news source.

Ew, I'm sorry to hear it. :thumbup: Maybe use the boot as a weighted thingy for leg lifts...? :tongue:

LOL, not likely since only two are girls and the rest boys. Doubt one egg split into six. :thumbup: This whole story is shady. I read in one of the stories that SHE claimed she was paid for being implanted with all these babies. Now, who would do this other than an inept doctor who is playing the odds?

Wow, I am SO glad my doc doesn't wait that long! I was banded the 21st and will be getting my third fill on the 16th of this month. You may or may not notice anything after the first fill. I actually got hungrier; but then again, he only put in a teeny fill because I thought I was feeling restriction. I had a hard time knowing what felt right.

They live in California, a state that is notorious for handing money to people who don't deserve it, like illegals. They were probably at her door the day she got home with a check in hand and an apology that they didn't get it to her sooner. :tongue:

It's hard to know if that's true. Obviously only time will tell if any are identical. It also could be somebody or somebodies trying to dig themselves out of hte backlash that has come about since this story broke.
