Hate to jump into a post this late in the game, but I thought at the beginning of the show they said she had bypass? I love the show but it is unrealistic how much the people work out. Like a previous poster said, who has time after the show to work out 7 to 8 hours a day?

Good for you Pluto for not giving up! Now that you recognize the issue you will do great! I have not had that problem, but I am now struggling. So we all have our issues. Good thing is now you know what you were doing wrong and are on your way! D

Congrats! That is awesome, you are almost there! Whats your next mini goal? D

Way to go girlfriend! I think your amazing! I did not keep a pair of my largest size and wish I had! I was to excited about not having to wear them to keep them! But I think I too will go buy a pair to keep as a reminder!

Elfie, Just wanted you to know I am sorry to hear of your loss of your FIL. My MIL passed on the Sunday before Thanksgiving. So I understrand your stress eating. I am so thankful that you and your son are ok from the car crashes! How scary is all of that. At least now you can recoginize that you are eating from the stress and change it! That is a great step in the right direction. If you dont mind, I will say a prayer for you and your family. Take care, Deanna

Wow my friend, you have (again) given me much to think about. Like your DH, mine loves me no matter what weight I am at. Why can we not love ourselves in that manner?

lol! I have used the split crotch to pee, NOT a pretty site! I wish I knew how in the world that the shaper helped you, but if I were to wear that my muffin top would be worse. I wonder is it because you are tall and I am, hmmmm should we say vertically challanged? How uncomfortable was it in the jeans?

Well the one we inherited is definitely the Madagascar Palm. It stands about 7 to 8 feet tall. Its bald right now, no leaves, thought I had killed it. But I guess not since you said yours comes back. The flowers we get are white. It has bloomed twice in six months. I am not taking it with us if and when we move!

OH MY! I laughed till I cried, I have so been there done that! You know, your thighs must be in better shaped than mine because I get thigh muffins if I wear the ones that come only mid thigh. Not so attractive! They need to make them from under bra to below the knee so that when you (I, me, us, whoever) wear pants the thigh muffin doesnt show. Maybe we just need to invent some of our own! With a snap and all!

No way could I eat bread with good restriction. But you need to realize that we may have different bands or different sizes. Or even different amounts in the same type band, or you may have less fat around your stomach than I do. Unfortunetly or fortunetly we are all different and that includes our restriction. Maybe if you stopped eating the bread and had just the Protein, plus added protein you would loose without another fill? I can loose no matter what I eat as long as I have good restriction BUT I love meat! I would rather have a steak or pork chop than the bread! All I am trying to say is maybe since the doc is not cooperating with you that you try cutting out bread for awhile and increase your protein and see what happens. Also, in my opinion, your doc should be listening to you and if you are doing what he says then he needs to have you see the NUT. Maybe they can guide you better? Keep us posted as to what he says next time you go in. Dee:lol:

Ok, so I have to ask, what is the name of the plant you have in the doorway? I know, odd question. But when we moved into this rental here in Florida, the house came with one! It gets these great flowers on it that smell wonderful. But I have no clue as to what the plant/tree/shrub thingy is!! HELP ME MY FRIEND! btw, it can hurt too! Thorns from hell!
