OH Juli

HP, Thanks for the compliment. And you go girl! Out there riding with your clipless pedals! I like BG, am scared to do it, but I will! My hope is Tuesday....we still have 10 of the 20 inches of snow to melt tomorrow. It will be a mud fest on Tuesday, but I'm gonna ride. I've just got to. TX, I was the girl with the biggest rear last year! The GF was riding way behind me on a ride when I passed two young women cyclists who had stopped. I guess they were still voiceing their surprise at me when Alison rode past...Bless the fat bottom girls...we do make the rockin world go round!!!

I'll be cycling this weekend regardless. I'll put chains on my tires if I must!

Hunter, take it easy...you are too soon from surgery to being doing that kind of labor, buddy. Carol, Minutes???? That implies there's an agenda and rules of discussion to follow! Oh my goodness!

Euchre is a sweet game, I agree! Isn't it weird not being one of the biggest people in the room? I still look though to check. I wonder if that will ever stop...

For pity's sake, you are not bad people and it's hardly a huge deal. Yesterday I looked at my stats and got upset that I had only lost 28 pounds in the last 6 months. Then a while later I thought that's 28 pounds I'll never see again and it is better than a pound a week, so get over it. But it does hightlight the point that I could be doing more and better...oh come on spring! Do normal sized people fight weight issues more in the winter too? At anyrate, thanks for the shout outs.

I posted before and after pics in that forum. You all have seen it before, but I thought I'd let you know. XO

I posted this on the pic forum, but I thought I'd share here too. The first ones are the night before surgery, I was 290. The others were done yesterday/today. My highest known weight is 338. I need to find a pic of me at that weight I'm willing to show.

Polaris is up in the air. I just don't know. I have homework to do, but it might make a good distraction, a way to get out of the house for me and Zoe. I asked a neighbor for a playdate but haven't heard back. If they say yes, then no, we'll not go to Polaris... I hate to be noncommital, but I really don't know right now. I will be signing up for TOSRV tomorrow!

Today is my anniversary. So here you have March 7, 2007 and today March 8, 2008. I was 290 the night before sugery. My highest known weight 338! One day I'll post pictures at that weight...maybe!

Stef I'm a facebook user, a bad one at that. I know BG is on myspace.

Hi Too, Heather covered Fresh Start with Dr. Myers, I had Dr. Mikami at OSU. I didn't have insurance issues, I knew I was covered before I started at OSU, so that wasn't a concern for me. Dr. Mikami talks about the statistics and about your commitment to the process. Because with lapbanding it's the individual's ability to do the right thing that is the largest factor in their overall success. As I see it, GB is the right choice for someone who needs to get the weight off quickly for medical reasons, for people who can't exercise at all until they get a substantial amount off, or for people who would rather give over control to the surgeon instead of giving dieting (though it's not really a diet, but you need to be uber mindful of what you eat) one last time. It is easy to not lose weight with the lapband if you don't have your priorities aligned. But it's a beautiful thing to lose weight with the band when you do. PM me if you want to talk more in depth. Juli

We need new pictures! I'm going to do some before and afters today, considering it IS my anniversary! I just need to see if the 6 year old kiddo can take them for me. It's always a crap shoot with her and the camera. And my friend who usually takes them for me is refusing to dig out her car from the 14 inches of snow we got, just to capture me today. Worse case scenario, I'll get them done on Monday. Denise, 91 pounds is fantastic! I'm at the same since surgery!

This is a snow on a table on my deck. It looks hazy because the snow is continuing to fall. Yeah Happy March Blizzard!

I cut my hair today. Tomorrow is my one year anniversary. I feel pretty.

WTG HP! Can't wait to see all the pics! That is if you break out the camera again this season! The weather is supposed to be horrendous this weekend. I'm staying in, cleaning house and making soups. I want spring!

I don't think I'm going to make it tomorrow. With the uncertain weather I'd just rather hold off until April. :crying: Sorry. Turler- I'll call you. I think it's a bad idea for you to drive down here. It's supposed to be a royal mess! But that's just my opinion. :teeth_smile:

Hi Marchies. I'm looking forward to Saturday, my anniversary. I hope everyone is feeling well.

This is my seat, or something like it. I can't seem to find the exact one.

fubar=? Now I have to go to Abbreviations and acronyms dictionary: Find definitions for over 4,203,000 abbreviations, acronyms, and initialisms found it Fouled up beyond all repair...of Effed, cute

Found it. She must use a different name on here. Perhaps my post will bait her, eh? Whatever, again, I've got stuff to do. Thanks Stef.

okay stalker is a bit overstated, but for real, who needs that kind of stress? Ugh.

So how do I search her name and see what kind of psycho posts she has on here? There used to be a search feature but I can't seem to find it anymore.

Hey, I got me an IM stalker from putting my IM address in my profile on this site. I allowed her to talk to me breifly a week ago, and today told her nicely I don't have time for idle chit chat and pretty much was told to fuck myself. Nice. Just because I said access to my IM address doesn't give you an instant friend she thought I was being bitchy. Me?!

Yeah, it's fun to spend the state's money. And I do buy stuff with my own dollars for me too while I'm there...nice perk. My fingers are crossed for you B. Hope you get that call too. We'd love to share our nasty cold winters with you! :thumbup:

"SUPER STAR!"
