LOL, yay for PhotoNut! That's a start. I'd prefer elliptical any day over treadmills. It feels good on my knees. Everyone did soo well today. I won't disclose the mileage I put on my bike today but it was so bad and I started feeling chest pains. I called hubby to come get me and after a 5 min Water break in the shade, I got back on and called him to tell him, I changed my mind. I pulled through and made it... but my hands and arms are freakin burnt to a crisp. (sighs):phanvan

Wow EmileeKaye..... Can we say.. "National Geographic" photographer? lol! Nice stuff there.

Wow Sandbell, your clown painting is unbelieveable. I love it. I love all of the art I am seeing here. Soooooooooo beautiful! Keep em coming!

People that know me on here know I am a bit colorful as far as my personality.. I think. I am into a little bit of everything. I paint, draw, sketch (pencil) and am into photography. Here is some of my work. Ecclectic and weird, just like me. I'll post some photos I took of a few people and scenery.. and self portraits in another post. Pictures of my trip to Australia, (Sydney and nearby beaches)

Mary that was a great story. You write so well too. As you used descriptive words, I walked with you.. imagining racks and sides of the store and even the lady at the dressing room. Gosh, victory tastes sweet huh?

Thanks in advance for the add on: 1st appt./day of surgery/current/goal 240/235/209/135 down -31lbs today

I love this forum. I learn something new everyday. Thank you all for sharing.

Sounds like we all had a great day ..incorporating something importante! Ok, now off to trudge on the tread mill, I put it off for a little bit, my poor feet. I'm flat footed. Nevertheless, I trudge on. No complaints here

BigPaul always makes me feel really good about myself. He's funny and silly but really smart right when you need him to be. DeLarla TellyMelly keeps me motivated on days I think I want to slack and theres always a smile on my face when I'm talking to her, she just keeps me laughing. She brightens my day! Cutiern reminds me of my daughter. I love how she is young, independent, and willing to make financial sacrifices to change her life. Dawg is a great husband. Selfless and supportive. He lives a banded lifestyle, without the band, so that he may succeed along side his wife. Pennie always seems so level-headed and diplomatic. I really admire that. Jack cracks me up with the use of his warped sense of humour in the manner in which he offers practical advice. Humour and practicalilty...great match and I always appreciate his input. (I also like his avatar!!) The best me (Kathy) has one of the most loving and tender hearts I've ever seen. She is always caring and giving to others even when she's needing support for herself. Her love of God and her desire to be a better servant shows in every post. Paula is my sweet Band-daughter and I'm so proud of how genuinely sweet she is and how her caring heart and love of God shows by her actions towards all others Iluvharleys has a good heart and is always so thoughtful, kind and caring always thinking of others in their time of need. NJChick (Eileen) Cracks me up!!!! She brings a smile to my face no matter what the topic. Bandland would be a boring place without her : - ) VinesQueen reminds me never to give up no matter how bad things seem at the time and encourages me that I should dance my heart out no matter whos watching~and I wish she would hurry up and get back on LBT!!! Michelle, without a doubt the most inspirational person to me. Even while having her own family problems, she finds time to come here and offer her help. She's a great person! Susan (PhotoNut) is one of the most supportive and knowledgeable people I've ever known. EmileeKaye is the sweetest, most genuinely nice and wholehearted bandster and online personality I have ever met.. and I have met quite a few. The sun shines on her goodness and it feels really nice to surround myself with people like this. K@t has been my friend and support since the moment I joined this group. She listens and gives without asking in return and makes me feel anything is possible. DeLarla is my vision of independence, strength, wisdom and trust and has always been a person that speaks her mind and has gained a tremendous amount of respect from me as an intelligent and witty person. StrawartS is smart and funny, and she has the strong personality I admire, yet she's kind. Plus, her screen name is a Palindrome. It's spelled the same backward and forward. Very Cool. Kathy (best me) Jenna (princess n thep) is always honest and straight foward. And she is a great booty dancer. Kathy was kind and gentle with me when I was cursing over my first PB. I was shocked by her generous spirit at first, but now I see that that's how she treats everyone. And her baby is pretty cute. And I don't even like babies. The NJ Board: I can't chose just one person because so many have come to my rescue. They give their heart and soul and they do it with compasion and love. *Cheers NJ Board, I Love You ALL* Since I have known Mychevygirl (DeAnn), she has shown incredible inner strength, focus and determination in the midst of extremely trying times. She has kept a positive, happy attitude in spite of the stresses she has endured, and she has a smile that shines through her words because it comes from her heart. FunnyDuddies is a beautiful, intelligent, loving woman who's quit witt and sense of humor is a blessing to those around her. She makes me smile, and I feel so bless to call her my sis. She has also earned my respect and admiration for showing a deep inner strength during times of adversity. MoOrless is another one of my personal inspirers. She has lost weight all on her own. Reading her posts have been a great eye opener, showing me that weight loss is nothing more than willpower and self-control, which she displays very well. She cheers me on as I do my wild goose chases with myself and she keeps me motivated, letting me know daily that every goal I set for myself, no matter how outlandish it may seem, is very possible and attainable. I thank her for believing in me, (a complete stranger).

Wow PNUT, how many kids do you two have? You guys sure don't look like you have kids the age of owning apartments and working. That's pretty incredible.

We are in it to win it! Come on warriors! The all seeing eye is watching you all! Scary huh?

After reading that, I'm too upset to comment other than this. All I can say is, doctors make more money performing RNY procedures so I do believe it's biased.

I homeschool/office school my 11 year old son. I'm in Florida though. Not sure if your homeschool laws are the same.

ROFL! How morbid is that? Lmao!

Rofl Omg Photonut!!!!!!!! The imagery! Stop!!!! Just Stop! _______________:faint: ________________ DIES FROM LAUGHTER

Good news Dawg! !:eek:

Lmao @ Funny! ERrrrrrmm. Trust me when I tell you that you DO NOT want to see me in a mini at this present time. I'm game though. I'll go buy one right now and hang it in the closet. I'll give myself August to get into it. Anyone watch that show, "The Biggest Loser"?? I saw it once. How fast were they losing weight and for how many months? Was it a 3 month challenge or am I thinking of Celebrity Fit Club?

We got this bull by the horns!

Ok, No cheating this weekend people. Get on your treadmills or hit the pavement. We have to show by Wednesday what were made of. (75% water, lol) I want to surprise myself. How far can I really push my bike this weekend with my cell phone on the hip (just in case I need an air evac). I plan on hitting 210lbs by this weekend. I'm going to hit that mark!

lmao @ NJGirl! Saved by the Post! You know better than that! I'm watching you NJGirl. So far 28lbs or more... keep it that way mamacita!

DIE FOOD...DIE!!!! I'm mourning too but I'm happy that the food is in a better place... (in someone else's belly) *gigglesnorts* You did fantastic woman! Keep up that weight loss. It may or may not slow down but for god's sake, don't lose site. Focus. It's downhill from here ok?? Don't go into the light! (The fridge light)

What's that Marvin Gaye song.... "Dancin"??? Got that sound like you are in a bar and people are laughing, drinking... That's what I wanna hear today!
