OH Juli

I just got back from Whole Foods for my kiddo who can't eat wheat, corn, soy, eggs, dairy, vinegar... yeah, rice, potatoes, meat, fruit and green veggies are about all he gets

If you are on a C-Pap you'll want to ask about bringing that with you. They had me bring mine, because it was already adjusted to the right level.

I feel the need to open a restaurant that charges people by the weight of the food they order! Oh, wait that's been done it's a deli! This falls under the heading, it takes all kinds of people to make the world interesting. That includes penny pinchers and people who throw money away. Oh well.

Ang, Hang in there, you'll be out of hell shortly. Why do you hate cooking? Did you burn down the house the first time you tried? That's not a judgemental thing. I hate gardening and will kill plants just to be spiteful...so I get it. But a girl's go to eat... The frozen meals are a good idea. Get some cups of applesauce, yogurt and things that don't need cooking. Tuna salad is as easy as mayo and canned tuna or as fancy as toss in 10 more things. Just because your enthusiasm is waining a bit doesn't mean you're going to fail. It just means you're dealing with the reality of a different life. But girl that's what we/you want! Peace, J

That's what it is all about! Live the heck out of your life, sister! Congrats!

Tomato Soup, applesauce, really runny mashed potatoes. You can do it. Also, I'd suggest you post this on the main forum, you'll get more support out there because more people will read it.

Buffets are evil and by their nature full of the cheapest food the restaurant can provide. If I only get a half to a cup of food I'm going for quality, and there just isn't quality at a buffet. But that's a different thread...

Saturday is my anniversary. I would be uber cool to see the ones by then. You'd think I'd work extra hard to make that happen, but I'm not feeling the extra part. I work plenty hard most of the time. :thumbup: But thanks for noticing.

ParaGirl, That's fantastic. It's great to be out doing exercise with your son! Being active with my daughter was a giant motivator for me. You are doing great too! 53 pounds since October is amazing! Welcome to our wacky world. J

K- Will you give us the details when you get them? I'd love to go to that show!

BP- Sweet bike. Very.

Poor Baby! I'm looking at the same crap on the ground. Not as much but still YUCK-O!

As a mom of an AI kid I love your post. People are ignorant. Plain and simple. Really, I like to tell people to walk a mile in my shoes then tell me how to live. Ugh.

My friend's mother was a dominatrix. Men paid her to belittle them. Well they bought her nice things too. She didn't have sex with them. Get a latex outfit, no shaving, no sex. It's all good.

Have you heard of anchoring? It's positive reinforcement: while you touch something and think good thoughts you imprint happy positive thougths...which later when you are having a problem you can recall those thoughts by simply touching yourself in a the same way. (keep it clean) Hip bones might be hard, but right now rub those collar bones and say, "I will make it to goal" or some such thing. Do that a couple of times over the next day or two. The next time you are faced with eating a piece of cake, or a cookie, rub your collar bone and you'll probably pass on the sweets. Or when you are fighting going to the gym...rub your collar bones and you'll probably decide to exercise. I promise it will work!

You can whore yourself out. I'm just saying.

$1799 is the price I saw on that bike on Friday. The GF bought the boy version of the same bike. I personally like the pink but not her.

I think it's the ab exercises. Try changing up what you are doing in that area and check for different sensations. And if all else fails go and see your doc. Shouldn't you be getting your blood work done or something anyway?

I can understand your frustration. Like everyone above said, talk to the manager, and if that doesn't get you the response you want write to the corperation and if that still doesn't get you what you want quit giving the place your money. I find it's not worth the hassel to go into my history. I get what I get and take home what I can not eat or I order appetizers.

And I don't know about the rest of you but, "Throwing up a little in my mouth" has a whole new meaning since being banded, sliming and PBing. I'm just saying.

TX is going to have some catching up to do. She set us loose and now look what's happened. B- I love the idea, you with the tramp stamp on your back side too. Oh, la, la. We'd look like the uber freaking odd couple. But I'm down.

I love the tux!

You mentioned a new helmet, I figured what you really meant were all new accessories... You're on your own for blue gloves.
