Telly

You really do look like her and she's one of my favorite Actress's. I love her in all her flicks. She's gorgeous, natural beauty, no make up needed.

That's my girl Tricia K. You did it! You did it! Never surrender! Huuuuahhh! Uh huh! That's right! When someone asks you how much do you weigh, you can officially say... "I'm in the 100's".

Jack, all I can tell you is, I'm with you on that. My hubby and I were driving down International Drive in Orlando and saw one of those in red. We couldn't take our eyes off of it. It was surreal. It was like a rig..but a truck..with hot chrome stuff all over it. It was as high as a Rig too. I told him, that thing has to cost around 80k. He said yeah, maybe more. His words..."That sh*#$@t is F$#@&*^n Hot!"

OMG! My heart dropped. I see copperheads, ugggh. They are rattlesnakes and they look like cobras, the way their head fans out, if I can remember them correctly. I used to see them alot in Virginia. Oh gosh. I'll pray for her. Those bites are serious. And poor mom getting Anti-venom like crazy. They will probably keep her for a few days and give her alot of doses. Praying for mom... P.S., my daughter was playing in the yard as we were moving furniture in and right there, by her foot was a Pygmy rattler. It was adult sized, probaby 5 years old, pregnant, ready to bite my lil 4 year old. I screamed and it jumped backwards in the other direction, then turned again towards her and I grabbed her soo fast (my daughter). Another time, 2 months ago my lil girl was in the master bathroom...and screamed. Water Moccosson (baby) on the floor, by the toilet. We had the screen door closed but the glass door opened and we realized it must have snook in through a small under door crack or something. Florida is dangerous. I want to move. Spiders the size of my hand, mosquito's the size of my hand and snakes everywhere. Oh and in the back yard...we see: Wild Turkey's, Deer, Wild black boar, panthers (once a month), snakes (weekly), raccoons EVERY DAY, in the trash, Armadillos - daily. I live in the back of a conservation area so I live in the Jungle. Pray I make it to my weight loss goal alive.:help:

Am I the only one to see that Lovecats85 looks like Michelle Pfieffer? lol! Cool! Way to go on the weight loss everyone. I'm loving this loser forum! (cackles)

NJGirl! You rock. I figured that might help. It always does help to errmm...go before a weigh in. I should probably do the same. I'm irregular since my liquid diet, nothing really comes out. (TMI, soo sorry) Maybe I need to try, tomorrow ends my 3 week liquid ordeal. Now for mushies, which I started last night actually on some Talapia fish. OMG! SOOOOOOOO DELISH...

(eyes Pop Out). TriciaK Omg! You Did It Gurly! Im In Awe, I Have No Words!!!! Just Tears. :think I'm happy for you, more than happy.

Yes Janet and Jammin & Losin and everyone! You guys rock! I love it.

Aww 3loves, these things happen. We can only look back at our weekend troubleshoot and problem solve. I gained a lb after losing it here and there but I kept pushing till it went down. Never give up my friend. Every day is a new day and a new opportunity to get back on the wagon and try again. Remember this though, all of us, even Clarissa Flockhart will gain a pound back and lose it. It's natural and happens all of the time, to everyone. You are only human. Last week I was stuck at 219 for soo long, no matter what I did with exercise and eating. Then finally I got over and went to 218 and the bike ride that almost killed me had me lose 2 more lbs. But look, I had to bike what felt like a million miles to get the 2lbs off. Kinda extreme right? Didn't bother me soo much till today. Aye Dios Mio, my butt!

I need an update of all the weight lost, I got -2lbs for Emilee, anyone else?

Lost 2lbs over the weekend and 3lbs total for the week, Yay to me and the long bike ride.

Teresita, thank you sooo much. It means alot to me to hear you say that. I am reallly giving this weight loss thing a good try. Just know that it's working and I can't wait to show everyone my befores and after's. I think you are right about my hubby. Maybe that's what's going on.

LMAO NJGIRL! I think I know what you mean. May need some fiber for sure. This too shall pass.... :eekB: Get it?

I drive a Silver Toyota 4 Runner (2004) bought it brand new off the show room floor for $100 dollars over manufacturer's price. (Quite the haggler). Made them throw in some rubber floor mats that cost $150.00 :eekB: Hubby drives 2001 Range Rover - Money Green and a 1998 Black Honda Civic (more gas mileage). We are not rich. I repeat, we are not rich. We just have great credit and some money put away but not rich.

lmao, Vickie, it's seems as though our men are having issues with the changes we are making to ourselves. Not sure if that's a good or bad thing. What do you think? It bothers me. He's tired of me talking to him about how much I feel good about working out everyday...and Water drinking, shakes, he starts to sigh now.. He is still eating junk like burgers, fries..anything he can find but he's eating less, that I noticed. I think he's scared Im going to lose all of this weight and leave him. He says things every now and then like... when I say .."I love you babe" and kiss him, he says.."You better!" Weird.

Yeah... it's 11.8 to my mom's house, then 3.8 to the end of the major road, so I stopped at moms for a tinkle break and Water for an hour, then down to the end of the road 3.8 miles, then non-stop back home. Let's just say my knees are in pain and my ass is soooo sore! Total 15.6 there and 15.6 back totalling 31.2 miles! My first ever over 15 miles. I did it but im paying for it now. I lost several lbs doing it. You know I had to hop on that scale right after I got home, lmao. Diablo! Bad thing is, my husband thinks I'm just showing off now, when really I'm trying to lose this weight as fast and as healthily as I can. Exercise and shakes. Im doing great but I wish he would see I'm doing this so we can do more together. (sighs) I just want to be sexier and healthier and more confident. I'd like him to wreep *spelling, the benefits of all this hard work. Do you think he even cares? I see he's annoyed. He hasn't lifted a finger to workout since before my surgery when I was dropping some weight. He turns his nose up at me now too. I'm kinda sad about it.

That is super, we are moving right along. I won't tell you guys how much I've lost, we will see at weigh in ...tomorrow. Tricia and the monthly friend gal :eekB: It's ok. Just keep trying. Never give up. We are all in this together. Muahhhhzzzzz! What's even better Tricia is you have been able to maintain and not actually gain. That's impressive all in itself. Oh and when I was on my monthly about a week ago, I gained back 1lb but it's gone now. I wasn't eating anything but I think the chicken broth made it harder for me and I was just retaining soo much Water. Thank god for the sauna suit. I drank lots of water and wore that suit while I was jogging and yeyyyaaah baby, 2lbs gone. :clap2: 31.2 mile bike ride today, believe it or not and my arse and my special ...area, numb as hell! I couldn't even sit in my desk chair without yelping! :help: Thank god it was about 70 - 74 degrees here in Florida and a bit cloudy. It shaded me from the heat and sun, so I didn't sweat too much but it was great but now im sore.

Hey, you've come to the right place. It doesn't matter where you were banded. We don't have one in Central Florida but we should start one.

Wow! You lost 27lbs in less than 3 weeks, that's almost 10lbs per week. Goodness! I need to catch up. I am supposed to get it hmmm...May 23rd ish. I think I'll be flying back to Monterrey, Mexico. He does them for free and I love Mexico. What about you? 6 weeks right? That makes it for us on the same day.

Wow Vickie P, you are my band buddy. I was banded on the same day. You are 1lb ahead of me gurl! Good for you. Let's knock 2lbs more off this weekend.

Hehe 3loves, no you don't have to do anything you aren't comfy with. It's quite alright, no rules here about that cept, lose the weight, water, exercise and the sugar stuff.

Bwuhahahahahahaha.... Telly shines her boot! Poohbear, I hope you aren't like the way I used to be....and that's going grocery shopping and getting the RIGHT kinds of foods and then ordering in pizza

Damnit PNut, I was hoping you were going to say, "Meh, it's true, you can take off 5lbs". That would have been awesome and I would be soo gulliable and vulnerable at this point. Oh and Pnut, I got somethin for that double dawg dare! You just wait and see!

To be honest Pnut, I haven't weighed myself but once today That's an all time low for me! Diablo called me only once. Embarrassingly so...I weigh myself 3 - 4 times per day. But I said, I will lose at least 2lbs by Monday for the bootcamp weigh in and then on Wednesday I'll hope to drop more or at least maintain the 2lbs loss. It's a win win! I will fight the beast that stares at me down the hallway. And wow, who takes off 5lbs for the food? Can you do that? LMAO. THAT'S JUST CRAZY!
