I used to have a LeClick, black and HOT pink! And I still use my Caboodles make-up case. They got it right with those.

I had an acid washed jean jacket that I pinned, and I even remember having my friends write their favorite sayings or quotes on there with their signatures. I wore that thing until it was so full of holes the sleeves were barely hanging on. Ahhh, the days... OH, YEAH, and I used to be able to tight roll my jeans so tight that it would leave an indention on my ankle. My friends were so jealous!

OH, another movie with the Brat Pack that wasn't mentioned earlier was "The Breakfast Club". Loved that movie, still watch it whenever it's on!

Now THAT'S funny! And probably pretty accurate... Anyone heard what the theme is next week?

OMG, I love this thread! Like, totally awesome, dude! I'm sitting here grinning like an idiot and I gotta say, I really needed that today, I've been in a mood. And I'm still sitting here singing Shot Through The Heart to myself. HA!

I'm staying on plan today because I'm fighting my scale. It was on the up side of a fluctuation this morning, and I was disheartened to have to write that number down.

I have to admit, I'm really not a David C. fan, BUT. He completely took my breath away when he sang Music Of The Night from Phantom. That is one of the most difficult songs to sing, and he NAILED it with a sledgehammer. I told DH after that performance that he just won AI. Hands down. Not only can he be creative enough to stay true to himself with songs that wouldn't normally be his style, but he can also pull off singing a very well known song without trying to change it. I still love Jason Castro, didn't love his performance this week, but I still think he's going to be a great artist in his own right. David C earned my respect this week, and I'm not a fan...

I believe I'll start using the "more than I care to admit" line. I LOVE it. It implies that they're being nosey, and puts them off without being rude all in 6 teeny tiny words! Brilliant!:thumbs_down::thumbup::cursing:

I'm with you. It totally pisses me off. My brother in law would ask me literally every time he saw me. I finally said, I'm pretty sick of answering that question. So how about this, if I look like I've lost weight, then I have. If I don't, then I haven't. I must have been pmsing that day because I normally wouldn't have said anything like that, but it really did hit me wrong when he asked me for the hundredth time, "So how much weight have you lost NOW?" When it was obvious to me that I hadn't lost anything since the last time he'd seen me. He's told me all about his friend who had gastric bypass and lost all her hair, and I know he's comparing my results to hers. Sorry for the rant, it just REALLY does tick me off to hear that question. Plus, after you've lost a LOT of weight, then you'll start getting reactions like, wow, I didn't think you were THAT big before. I must be pmsing today, because I really hate people today. LOL!

Nobody wants to play wit' me....:redface:

I got in an hour today. Where the heck is everybody?? I'm finding that since the latest site changes, I'm spending less and less time on here, I really don't like the new layout.

I'm staying on plan because I'm ready to move on to the next size down.

If this is an ongoing problem, it makes me wonder if you've had your iron levels checked. A banded friend of mine discovered after being banded for about a year that she was anemic, and needed to take an iron supplement. Her only symptom was that she had absolutely no energy, and was exhausted all the time, and no matter what she did, she couldn't muster up much energy for anything. Go get it checked, it certainly can't hurt! Oh, yeah, I got in an hour tonight.

I think this may be my favorite NSV so far. DH & I went out of town for the weekend, and there were several other people that went as well for a bowling tournament. Anyway, at the hotel, I went into the fitness room and got in a workout. It was only a 30 minute workout, so it wasn't STELLAR, but hey, I was proud of myself for at least doing SOMETHING... So here's the NSV. One of the ladies there that we knew, and play volleyball with asked me the next day, aren't you SO sore? And I didn't know what the heck she was talking about. I wasn't sore at all, because 30 minutes for me now is a pretty easy workout. Well, she had seen me doing my workout, and was shocked to learn that I do that and more, mostly every day. She wasn't shocked that I do it, but she said there's no way she could hack it, and this lady is skinny, and looks pretty fit. I felt like a rockstar!

Thanks, it really did make me feel good, especially the part about not even knowing what she might be talking about, I had no clue as to why she thought I'd be sore...

I was out of town for the weekend, but I did get in some exercise, see my newest NSV thread: NSV while out of town! - Lap Band Talk Forum - The largest forum for Lap Band Surgery Discussion and Lap Band Surgery Support

I'm staying on plan today because I was out of town for the weekend, and the scale didn't go up! I don't know if I'll ever get used to the idea that I can go away for the weekend, and not GAIN 5 pounds from eating out.

I tried them once, and liked them, but they just had too much sugar in them. Now, I have to add that I found the dried edamame in a wasabi flavor and they were FANTASTIC. YUM!

I'm staying on plan today because we're going out of town for the weekend, and I don't know if I'll be able to stay on plan while we're gone. I will be able to get in my workouts, though, so maybe I won't backslide too much.

WOO! I got in another 45 minutes tonight! I'm off to update my ticker again...

I'm staying on plan today because the scale is moving in the right direction, and I don't want to screw it up!

*knocks* anybody in here??? I got in 30 minutes tonight. It's all I had time for today.

I don't mind things like IRL, IMHO, BRB, TTYL, but I have to agree with Laura, every word of every sentence does not need to be abbreviated. My 13 year old niece does that, and it makes me crazy. I've even asked her that if she's going to send me an e-mail or text message, to PLEASE spell out the words, because first off, I can only figure out about half of what she's saying, and also because I need to be reassured that she CAN spell things out IRL, and that she's not going to be hindered IRL down the road getting through college and then landing jobs, and keeping them. It's scary to think that her generation is learning to do this so much so that it's first nature instead of second nature. Wow, Rant/off.

YAY!!!!!!! Subscribed threads is a link on the side now. Thanks, Alex! Love it!
