OH Juli

ZZ How pretty are you???? Your little avatar doesn't do you justice! The color is FAB too! Nothing like a nice fresh color weave. Says the chica who is two weeks overdue. Damn overtime had me cancel my appointment yet again!

Only like watching lions stalk prey in the wild on Animal Kingdom. And yeah, there's nothing wrong with a little voyeurism. Yo, TX, I heard a report on the Sex Toy law in your state. Court overturns Texas ban on sex toys That must be a relief.

He's married and 5'5". Japanese too, I'm pretty sure. But here's what's funny. He asked me how much more and I said I want to get to 130. He was surprised I wanted to go that low. I said, "Dude, you told me 110. Must have part of your, 'scare the patient' speech you give." "It obviously worked." was his reply. I'm not in the market for a new sweetie, but BG, if you ever are, I go trolling with you...It's kind of fun to watch how the straight people mate.

I just got a fill today too. Seems like we are all being proactive about finding our sweet spots. I'm running my first 5K on Sunday! In 28 degree weather. It's shouldn't be too bad. I'm excited. I've never had to pin a number to my chest! W00T-W00T! I'll let you all know how it goes :thumbup:

BTW, you nurses, my DD was reading over my shoulder and she squealed when she saw your avatars. That would be Nurse Joy from Pokemon. She wanted me to go in search of the other characters.... I am so excited for all you spring bandsters. It's a great time to be banded with the weather breaking, naturally you'll want to move more and make those changes from hibernating...Spring=Change and new beginnings all over the world. You'll do great. And you'll be in new clothes long before X-mas.

You toot it baby. The scale is stuck, but I got my fill this morning. I think I have a crush on my surgeon. It's because he says the nicest things to me, such as, "You told me you were going to prove me wrong, and you have." and "You are my most successful patient. Wow! You are so skinny!" It doesn't hurt that he's young and good looking too. If he was female it'd be all over...I wonder if he has a sister...

You know you won't miss them. Really, it's kind of sickening when you get used to eating a cup of food at a time, to see people eat giant plate loads of food because they can. I've been to a few buffets and I usually walk away pissed at myself for going, because I still try to put down more than I can (which is a fraction of what I ate pre banded) Or pissed because the food tasted mediocre or I ate what I really didn't want because it was there. E.g. Breakfast buffet, where I ate scrambled eggs and a biscuit for $10, when what I really wanted was an egg over easy and a piece of toast. It probably would have cost me less than $3. Yeah, eating biscuits and toast means it's time for a fill. Tomorrow. I'm really happy for you. If you have any questions please post here or IM any of us. We'd love to be a resource for you!

That's Fantastic!!! Where are you having surgery? Sorry I can't recall. You've got to be so stoked! Keep us posted!

I'm getting a slight fill tomorrow. I'm waking up hungry and able to eat too much in one sitting. It's time. Happy Valentine's Day to all of you!

Oh, what it must feel like to be under goal? Amazing, I'm sure. Happy Valentine's Day everyone. I see my honey tomorrow! Yee Haw.

We have laws against that up here. We need to keep it indoors. But sure does sound like fun.

Peanut Butter rice crispy treat dipped in chocolate will not get me to my goal. Marshmallows dipped in chocolate will not get me to my goal. Strawberries dipped in chocolate are better for you than those cream filled wafer Cookies, but neither will get me to my goal. The bitch ass catering students have two chocolate fountains set up with all sorts of yummy dipable things available... Good thing I'm getting a fill tomorrow.

Awwww Good DH. Help me out with the shoe/sweat problem? Is that something you've witnessed? Or something your considering wearing?

Oops. I stuck my foot in my mouth. My favorite variation on the those who can theme, "is those who can sing, perform, those who can not work at radio stations."

BG-Had to look it up? I'm always looking up words I come across. Then I promtly forget them. B, detouring from higher Ed for cool real life experience is a good thing. Understanding theory and knowing how the pieces parts fits together is smart, but the eventual point is to do. You know there's that old saying, "Those who can, do. Those who can not, teach." Teaching is important and education is fantastic etc...But doing is the exciting part. I'm all for challenges and stretching to meet them. I'm excited for you! TX You're a hoot. When we all meet, and we will, it will be a riot.

FFILTH Former Fattie I'd Like to Hump?

How old is the child? Old enough to be girlfriending? Is it hard to play offended old lady when deep down inside you're flattered to your painted red toe-nails??? That's pretty darn cute. And the clueless part is precious. Girl, I've nearly been fired a few times for my sarcasm. But it's toned down in my dotage. Yes I've been misunderstood. I think the humor is 75% of the kindred spirit with BG. The othe 25% is just being plain crazy, like running at 200+ pounds and bellying through a giant puddle of mud and thinking it's going to be fun!

Yeah, that was the joke. A little mean, well ironic because you are so much more than just a hottie...but being a hottie is pretty damn spectacular too. Like here we are aspiring to hottiedom which is kind of dumb. On that note, can we do something with "MILF" for the muddybuddy? FFILF? Former Fattie?

I started exercising a few months before surgery to lose some weight and be more cardiovascularly fit when I had surgery. Also, the only excuse I had not to get started was I waiting for surgery. That wasn't a valid excuse. But to answer you, after my surgery I was only permitted to walk or use the elliptical for 6 weeks. No strength training until then. After that point I started strenght training 3 times a week. I've since got into long distance road cycling and running. I'm running my first 5K on Sunday. Which is amazing, if I do say so myself. Not that you asked for advice about exercising per se, but I'll give it anyway: What is most important is to have a goal that stretches you. Look for something that you can accomplish in 3 to 4 months. Start thinking of your next goal before you reach your first one. If it's climbing one more set of stairs every week or staying on the treadmill for an additional 5 minutes...set goals and see that you do meet them. good luck

Holy cow! How did you blow your tri? I want to make some lewd comment about doing dips...hehehe That has got to hurt when you least expect it to. Like when you brush your hair and stuff. Thanks for the compliment on the humor. You know now that I'm getting slim I'm scared people will just see me as a vacuous hottie. BG struggles with that.

I see D is here. Speak up chica! We miss you!

Some how TX, I have no sympathy for you. I'm jealous as hell! I did run outside today. A real 5K around the bulidings at work. :smile:

Very brackish. Hey kids, you know the 5K is looming on Sunday. It supposed to be about 30 degrees but I've not been able to get outside but once in the last 2 weeks. I'm going to see how icky-icy it is later today. The local schools are closed, but I might be able to get outside. Hope everyone is staying toasty whatever it is you do in TX in February. :smile:

That's cool! My mood is less than stellar. did you get my email yesterday afternoon?

Hey BG You're in a good mood! I've got a paper to write and stuff to do, otherwise it's just dandy. B Hope the interveiw is yours and it's everything you want. How often do you change jobs? What exactly do you do?
