Telly

It's funny how the male poll is for the men but we women are all over it.

Tyson is very very very hot!

Onward folks! Let's get a move onto the next month. Woooohooo!

haha, i voted here too, Colin is hotness in a category all his own. His body is not too overwhelming, not too skinny, muscular enough and just perfecto for me.

Rofl @ biscuits and gravy. Very true but some people would like to be that skinny. Not horrible though.

I chose Salma

Not This Poll, Sorry, Go To The Other One. Can We Delete This One?

this One Was Not Loaded Properly. Please See The Other Poll Created.

I do. You lost alot in curves. It really does work. It was interesting but I don't think it's what I want. I am looking for something else, something where there's hundreds of equipment, spinning, etc. Men and women making crazy sounds as they lift and lower... I think I'll join the Gold's Gym and hire the P.T.

Welcome to the family of workout maniacs Kristie. Just hop on in. You know, I rode my bike today and found a brand new ....Curves. I went inside and had no idea that it was limited as far as equipment goes. There was a circle of about 10 pieces of equipment on hydrolics. 10 steppers too and there was a voice on the speaker that said.. "Please go to the next station". Women were moving to the stations, with pulse checks... weird. The owner said to me... 30 minute workout was like having a 1.5 hours of regular workouts. I wonder if this place works for anyone.

At first it was a joke, but I have spewn the topic of colon cleansings somehow.

Rofl @ Susan...."gross", Lmao

Diane, you are making perfect sense. I think I am being treated like I am a threat in my own family. I know I was not imagining this because my husband brought to my attention, what he was observing without my mention of it. At our last family dinner, everyone was looking at me and studying my every move. This has never ever happened to me before. I feel the eyes and I feel the tension. I literally isolated myself at the bar-b-que, tried to anyway. I was being approached by several family members who happened to be married men (not blood related). My husband knows he can trust me of course, but he wont' even let me go grocery shopping without him now. I don't like that part of this weight loss change thing but I'll take it as a compliment.

Hey thank you Myst. Put it this way, if I don't get there by August, I'll be damn close. Can't hurt to try right?

I apologize in advance Alexandra, but I wasn't joking. There are very important reasons for having bloodwork prior to surgery, including blood clotting and emergency transfusions, etc. I think she's lying. My opinion.

ooooooooooooooh K

Hey, Tricia and I were just chatting about Colon cleansing, getting rid of that old stuff in the intestines will not only detoxify you and make your skin gorgeous, but it will help you lose 7 - 10lbs of old waste, tar and parasites. How is it going Niche?

Doc... you are biking where I started. I was doing 6.5 miles for weeks till I built up more endurance. But hey, you did 20 laps. I haven't swam like that since college. I need to find a lap pool. I envy you.

I wish I could hug you Diane. I hope you adjust to the new you in a very comfortable way. I guess it will take some time and getting used to. It will be alright.

Plans for today 16.5 mile bike ride 200 crunches 30 push ups 30 squats <!-- / message --><!-- sig -->

shit, i'll take 6lbs every week! Actually, my goal now has changed. I am 194lbs and I need to get to 135lbs. I wanted to get to 135lbs by August. That's 59lbs. I've got 9 weeks left to really see if I can meet that mark. I've got 9 weeks and I'd have to lose 6.5lbs per week to hit 135lbs by August. I know I can do it.

Oh stop that you! Soon enough the time will come and then there is no turning back. ARe you doing all you can to try to lose some weight on your own? Have you changed eating, exercise habits? *hugs* You are 29 days away.... you are in pre-ops preparation time and you gotta do some things to get mentally and physically prepared. You aren't really that heavy so you shouldn't really need to lose alot pre-operatively in regards to your liver retraction. I hope you are ok.

Actually, by law he should disclose to you whatever you ask. Ever heard of HIPAA? Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act? If a patient want's info, the doc has to give it, to include copies of all your medical records. You should have a post operative report that clearly states your lapband's serial number as well as size and capacity.

400 calories a day is starvation. In order for you to lose weight you have to up your metabolism. In order to UP your metabolism you have to feed yourself. Feeding yourself calories, at least 1,000 - 1,500 per day depending on your activeness will allow you to lose weight. Your body won't be starving anymore and it will not hold on for dear life to what you do decide to eat. Marathon runners and body builders put in anywhere from 3,500 - 10,000 calories per day, (I read in an In-shape article) I don't know if this is 100% true but I believe it. They need alot of calories b/c they burn the calories from the crazy workouts. If you want your furnace to burn all night... you've got to fuel it with the wood, paper...whatever to make the burn last. Just know that during this process, you are helping your metabolism do it's job.

Yeah, seriously a good colon cleansing will eliminate parasites, tar and anything else floating in you. Ewww but very good for you, especially if you are losing weight and starting a new lifestyle, why not get that old shit outta ya and drop a few lbs doing it. I haven't ordered it again but I think I will. Many articles that I read states that disease starts in the colon. All that junk we eat and if it just stays inside of us ..which it will b/c we have alot of crevices inside our intestines, can cause serious illnesses.
