Boogie is a dirty pig!!

Brooklynn - I understand you are considering the band and have read a great deal of posts on this site. I also understand that you are here to "represent or support your mother" who is Dody. Maybe just hold off on posting for a while until you get the "vibe" of LBT. It does come across in your posts like you are here to stir the pot in a passive agressive way. Whether you mean to or not, it is how you come across. That is why I think if you are true in your intentions that you just sit back for a while and let the dust settle. More people were affected by the recent drama than the few who were banned or allegedly attacked. It has been a serious buzz kill for the entire board but most of us are trying to move forward. I have kept my mouth shut since all of this began and I hope to remain silent, but I thought you should be aware of how you come across.

Erika did look really pathetic last night...and like Boogie says, it looks like she has aged, but I think her natural hair growing out is not helping her features either. Um...does anyone watch Weeds? I LOVE IT!

Pinky - My friend gave me some note pads that said "put on your big girl panties and deal with it" it was next to me when I signed up, so that is how I have my name. I went to LB 2 weeks ago and bought some new sassy bras, they make it look like I have a waist! Also, my Dr. says not to drink for 30 minutes before eating, I have fudged on it a few times and had a problem. - your friendly july lurker

Thanks Dezadoo! 2 Questions answered: 2 questions for all: 1.Does your significant other know how much you weigh-why or why not? No Way and I do not know what he weighs, our delusions keep us happy! 2.Most embarrassing fat moment you will never have happen to you again now that you are becoming skinny or thin or svelte or normal?? We did the jungle and snorkeling tour in Cancun where you drive your own 2 seater mini boat through the jungle to the coral reef. So our boat was really slow and all the other people on the tour thought it was so slow because we where heavy. Then we get to the reef and you have to jump out of the boat to snorkel but there was not a step to get back in so you have to climb on....I refused to get out and so did my husband. The guide was so nice and said in broken english that he will help me get back in the boat so I looked around and realized I may never have this opportunity agina, so we jumped in and loved it! The guide and my husband helped pull me up onto the boat, I was embarassed but did not care at that point. Oh and the slow boat had nothing to do with weight, it had to do with my husband being a terrible driver and afraid to go fast!!

Hey Guys! I am very excited. I was feelling down and bloated this week, but I just went shopping @ Nordstrom and bought this dress for an event I have at the end of the month - in a 1X!! This is HUGE for me, I have been a 3X for longer than I can remember! So maybe the numbers are not moving much, because I am working out more, but something is happening here!! :clap2: :clap2: I am not trying to sound braggy or anything, I am just super excited!

SUSAN - BTW - you look great in your new avatar photo - good job!!

So Boogie HAS to put up Will, no other choice. And Janelle gets the only vote right? I hope she is smart enough to get rid of Will, but then again, woudl the jury choose to give the prize to her or Erika? I am going to assume they would give it to Janelle because Erika is the queen of the "float-herd"! edited for severe typos - I was out waaayyy to late last night!

TOM - Of course I was!!

I just figured it out...Tired Old Man is Rush Limbaugh!!

Will & Janey would make beautiful babies!

Leila - Thanks for the great advice!!!

Barbara - Thanks for your message. I am sorry you are having a hard time. Do you think something is still stuck? I know that t-ravs were a bad choice but I had a moment of weakness ok, really 2 days of weakness! I do have a major problem getting in protien as I do not like much meat besides hamburgers, or almost anything that uses processed chicken or beef, oh and really healthy gyro meat! I did run to Trader Joes and got more fake chicken so I am hoping that will help.

Lookingout - I hope you are doing well, sounds like it! I am afraid to walk backwards on the treadmill...I would totally fall on my ass!

Hey Guys! I am a lurking July bandster. I have been frustrated this past week as I feel like I am gaining weight. I feel bloated and the scale is not saying kind things to me. So I thougth I would see how you guys were doing since your progress shoudl be a few weeks ahead of me. I just had a smoothie, finshed half and feel full. But I am the only one awake in the house and can really pay attention to how I feel. Last night I ate about 8 toasted raviloi's for dinner, a lot more than I expected I could eat, but I was talking and was at a restaurant. I guess what I am asking is if you find you eat more if you are not paying attention to what you are eating?

I love mortystv.com! They do have the best and most detailed updates. Did anyone hear the convo between Boogie & Will where they said "We will win this then win Amazing Race..." I think, and hope, they will be the Amazing Race in 2007!! Also, sorry to the guys, but I think the girls should have turned on the guys, they had good strong numbers and I really liked Danielle. It frustrates me to see how much Will can control people and because he is so charming and cute they will do whatever he says. Um...wait a minute, now that I think about it, I would probably fall under his wicked spell too! Dr. McDreamy!

I will admit it! I even watch it online! I hope Janelle wins, she deserves it more than anyone.

Anyone heard from Lizzilo? I hope she is doing OK. Erics Mom, congrats on your loss! Also, did ya all hear Dody's account was suspended? The rest of LBT has been kinda crazy lately, this is the one of the few drama free places!

2 miles on treadmill

The Good: Buying smaller clothes and never wearing a 3X or 2X in anything again! The Bad: Thinning hair and eating too fast resulting in my one and hopefully only PB. The Ugly: Nasty insicion infection and when you run into people who know you had the surgery but heard it through gossip so they tell you how great you look, look you up and down but feel awkward about it. It also makes me so incredibly sad that some of you have had your band affect your relationship with friends and family.

No gym yesterday, but 1 hour of salsa dancing at a club! I hit the gym this afternoon.

I just think most LBT folks are in a cranky mood right now, its the end of summer and we are all hungry!

Finally I am able to go to the gym!! My bad foot & infection in my incision are heeled! I did: 10 minutes on eliptical 20 minutes on bike - lots of hills! 20 minutes on treadmill - worked up to 4 miles with a 5 incline. It was my first time in years so I hope to keep this up for a while then meet with a trainer.

I was at Sally Beauty supply this weekend, they have hair extention kits. These are the kind you put in yourself - I am going to try that. I have thin hair anyway but I noticed today the top of my head is looking baren. Am also going to get some Biotin tomorrow. I will not look good in a fauxhawk!

Thanks!! We are super motivated now and are going salsa dancing on Tuesday to celebrate! OMG - I forgot to mention that I went to a friends apartment in a 3rd floor walk up and made it all the way without huffing and puffing and needing a few minutes to catch my breath!!!:clap2: What little successes are you guys having??
