Yay for new tats What did you get? Maybe for our disciple tats we should get P'nuts profile around our bellybuttons. Think that would be too creepy?

3loves, did you read P'nuts post at all? I'm curious because you seem to think she said something mean or hurtful to you. In fact she was simply saying "Hey gals, dont worry about it, it doesnt hurt my feelings, its making me laugh my arse off. Join me in getting a good chuckle out of this fool!" I think we all know the creator was infact poking fun at the "psycho susan" nicname, which I as well find extremely amusing. Just call me a zealot! Ooo, I want a tattoo too. FunnyDuddies, want to join me?

Good luck in your classes! I've been in a summer semester since July, oh the joys. What I tend to do for each semester is buy mutiple subject notebooks from FiveStar. They're huge length wize and I use one "subject" portion for each class. Then I'm only technically carrying one notebook everywhere, instead of 3 or 5 separate ones. I also found that mechanical pencils are the way to go, along with pens obviously. Regular pencils in your backpack can make a huge mess, you'll end up with marks on papers and wonder how they got that way, hehe. Mechanical ones save you the trouble.

Welcome Wow, doing great with the weightloss already!

Thank you everyone for posting your experiences and reasons for going/not going. There may be a chance if I get the band I'd have to take a trip down there as well.

You can do it! *raises her pitchfork from under her straw hat* 5 points to the person who can name the movie.

Welcome! You've done well so far and I hope things continue to be that way for you :confused:

I hope things get better for you, 503. Just um, stay away from horses... if you can... I hear they're greasy meat anyway. Probably not good for the complexion. :confused:

Noooo, dont say the C word *dies* I was whining for cheesecake earlier. *gnaws on her last grape, looking grumpy*

I beg your forgiveness! *gigglesnort* Oooo, pb&j on rice cakes... I never thought of that.

Yummy apples. Peaches have been great this summer, I usually have one with every lunch. I've also craved banana's lately.

You know, peanut butter never settled well with me. I had to overpower mine with the jelly to be able to eat it as a kid. I'm fighting my chocolate craving tonight by eating grapes... not quite the same. *sighs and munches, glaring at psusan for pmaking her peat pheathy pfood*

Ah, right, sorry... momentary loss of control there. Not sure what I was talking about... hm. I like cheese. Fin. *bows*

Someone's gone a little deloony. C'mon, lets act a little more mature and just put stuff behind us. I dont know the story behind it all and dont really care. I do know that asking it to stop is a lot to ask for but, I didnt come here to watch people scream at each other. If your intent is to scare people away from posting on the LBT then I think you're doing a good job. I'm sure Moderators will agree. Keep it up and people arent going to want to be here. But hey, what do I know, I'm just a newbie... who's not enjoying watching people fight... and is kind of, put off from posting, hey... turns out I do know enough.

*coughs* plicks *coughs*

P'nut, P'nis... D'awg and T'elly?

Someone needs a heafty dose of maturity. Grow up a little, act like an adult and move on with your lives. This isnt the place for your petty little arguments. Back to the topic - my research is going good :scalesno: I have some relatives who are interested in the whole process and I'm trying to give them as much info as I can.

No no... it's the wine *dumps it down the drain* :guess

Thanks everyone for posting all the positive things about your trips down there. If I go anywhere, it will probably be into Mexico. I'm needing all the info I can get and this helps me out a lot!

Thats the line of thinking I'm trying to keep. Any little bump is worth the end result right? I'm such a pessimist. Glass is always half empty. I worry way too much, which is such a contradiction to my laid back/relaxed way of life. I know I want to get the surgery done, but I seem to keep trying to talk myself out of it... and I cant quite put my finger on why.

Sorry to hear that you're having a rough time Paul. I wouldnt want to be in your situation :cool: I think that's why I'm having a hard time deciding if I want this done. Are the bad parts worth going through for the end result? *stops gnawing on pnuts ankle* she doesnt know what she's talking about.

Hello everyone A new warm body here to join you all in your weight loss adventures. I was given the address of this place by a friend, who (from what I've seen) has a pure addiction to this forum. I'm not sure where to start, but since this is the introduction thread, guess I should share some information yeah? I'm a young adult living in the midwest US and have been overweight most of my life. I've known about surgery options for getting help with this problem for a few years now but honestly have tried to keep them as far away as possible. My line of thinking used to be that, surely that would be taking the easy road out, wouldn't it? I realize now, many pounds gained later, that this of course is not the case in the slightest. I know several people who have had both elective surgeries performed and all have had amazing results. My own personal decision though is one I'm having a hard time making. food has been my comfort for a long while. I know that if something doesn't change, however, the sad form of a life I've got currently will end, probably painfully and within a shorter amount of time than I'd prefer. I want to be healthy and I know that's going to take work. I didn't get overweight in a weeks time. It took years. I know the same is going to be needed to get myself to a place where I am finally able to go into a Dr's office and not get the standard lecture about how I am “obese” and am “in serious danger of other health risks”. That sounds so dirty... obese. Maybe it should be o-bese so it's sort of a 4 letter word. I've been presented with the option of a possible trip to Mexico to have my own lap band surgery performed. I haven't done much research into who I would be able to see once all is said and done. Hopefully it's not something that requires too much of a specialist and a local doc could be in charge of things post-op. I've enjoyed reading threads you've all created so far, and I hope to keep finding more with such great information. Any advice, gripes, cheers, stories... please, share them. I look forward to getting to meet everyone.

Thank you Stephanie ^^

*salutes* Yes ma'am. *grins and hugs*

Thanks for the welcome guys Yeah, I plan on having all the facts before making my decision. I'm lucky to have someone I'm close to who has had the surgery. She's promised to really help me out, find the info that I need.
