OH Juli

Thanks W. Let the fashion show begin. Wait a minute...buying jeans at Aeropostale...isn't that NORMAL? How fantastic. Good gift to yourself for you anniversary too.

I went. Elyptical for 30 as intense as I could then a weak attempt at strength training for about 15 minutes then I was done.

I'll go if you go. Actually I'm going. I'm going , i ' m g o i n g

AWE...... That's the nicest thing anyone has said in a long time. Really, I love that!!!! thanks Tracy! And I've always thought your name was "Tracykins" not Tracy In KS" Funny!

I'm getting in there in 40 minutes. soooooooooo notttttttttt motivatedddddddd

I eat a lot more than 500 calories a day. I'm somewhere between 1300-1700.

coolcrystal. I can't add anything to the other posters. You're prebanding, all rules are off until you get banded...really. You are on the verge of a different life, you're gonna freak in many different ways. Be gentle with yourself. I just wanted to post and say I love your humor. You'll do fantastically well.

6600 is insane!!! How can you put that many calories in anything? Wowzers.

Hey Marchies I'm trying to stay motivated and keep the carb cravings at the end of my day from ruining my success otherwise. How is everyone doing? Who needs motivation? Who needs encouragement? We are closing in on year since banding and we've got to keep the momentum rolling, no? Peace.

BG Goodness girl. I'm tearing up. I know we talk shit and we talk truth and we laugh a lot; your post is amazing. Authentic confidence is rare. It's stunning when you come across it and there's something infectious about it, like I got to get me some, some, some. Happy anniversary again. Thanks for sharing that post over here. I'm sure your Feb people will give you many props. Your bicyling buddies are happy for you as well.

Happy Bandiversary Babygrl1234!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :tt1: :wink2: :huh2: :eek: :mad: :clap: Down 90 pounds in one year! Never to return! You're an inspiration to us all!!!:confused:

Whos- Did we decide you're W? Cool on the 5 miles! Are you indoors our out? I need to run my next 4 outside regardless of the weather, so I'm used to it. I prefer running outside too, I pace more naturally and it's not nearly as boring. JC, I know you'd be cheering me on. Dude, I miss your energy. Yee-haw and such. C- Girl you'll be running in no time. I'm sure you'll be kicking ass and taking names with the best of us. Hi there Mattiesue.

Was that video catagorized with the "jackass" type videos of stupid things people do then aren't ashamed enough not to share? I'm shocked that those people are being exploited by their doctor. But like others posted before me, stay positive and advocate for yourself. and now to be cruel: if you are too stupid to not see your doctor after the first sleep/vomit and if you think that choking on Water until 3pm is regular then maybe, just maybe, you are too stupid to have the lapband. The fault is on the shoulders of the people you see in the video, not on the band.

I think on the giant scale of humanity, Oprah does a pretty stellar job. As for WLS, we all have our opinions which I think we tout loudly. She does well with keeping hers in manageable boundaries. If you don't like what she has to say, tune out. I don't think she's going to sway anyone who feels WLS is right for them from getting the surgery.

It's official, I've signed up to run the 5K on February 17th. I'm going to run with real live other runners! Egad. Come that Sunday morning at 8am, send me some good JUJU. Now don't worry if can't mark your calendar right this minute, I'm sure I'll mention it again in the next 11 days.

M Mom- That's great! You are well on your way!

yesterday Zumba- it was not as intense as I had hoped for. Today is a running day. I wish I had brought my long pants to run outside, but I didn't so I'll be on the treadmill.

JC It's good to see you are haning in there. Don't let timeframes and arbitrary objectives get in the way of reaching the long term goal of healthily managing your weight and living a happy life. An extra year at 226 is better than being at 350. I know cherry perspective is annoying so I'll shut it. Miss you dude. Glad school is going well. On that note, I'm going to break out the text books.

I figure there's a glitch in the system. I saw other people in a forum saying the same thing. I'll give it a little time. I'll so be back.

And I just tried to play it and it's asking me the same question over and over again. UGH!

Juligirl. No I get it right and it asks again, I get it wrong it asks again. I'll try again.

whats paczki?

Factacular keeps asking the same question over and over again, regardless of how I answer it. That's annoying.

I see you're busy busy busy playing trivia games.

Where the heck is everyone today???
