I think there was one recorded sewer croc:tongue:. I didnt know it was a joke either until 3 unrelated/unassociated people told me that their sister/brother/friend had witnessed/heard 1st person about the woman and the names, so it HAD to be true. Soon after, I got it in an email full of jokes from yet another source. Then months later I saw a comedian tell the joke.

I see that I am tending to eat alot of cereal and eggs. Im going to get some of those steamer bags soon and maybe I will start to batch cook my chicken. Thatll save me from cleaning the kitchen grill daily. Nice! Good ideas CityGirl and Mamato!

I am loving this new hourglass figure! Today it was called sexy. I havent been called sexy before this day! It is a MONUMENTAL event in my life. Sex appeal is new to me. Yesterday I found myself flirting with who was walking across the street in front of my car. I did the smile-look away-smile bit and he responded. Besides the fact that he responded (because I am AGHAST that he did), what is so exciting is that I didnt freak out. I did drive away though but, I didnt freak out. I would pre-weightloss have freaked and not even looked at him. I would have come out of the situation sad and frustrated. He was cute and we flirted, I cant believe it is that easy. It is really that easy, wow. I am considering it part of my workout yesterday (I was on my way to the gym). I am working out my sex appeal. I may need to be contained, there is a beast inside and its getting hungry. Mmmm boys:tt2:. This crazy, I am still trying to understand that I look so different. Weird, but I can get used to this kind of weird.

My post from the Twenties NSV Thread: Here is my latest and probably one of the greatest NSVs. Today my new -60lb "shape" was called sexy! SEXY! OMG! I dont think I have ever been called sexy. SEXY my shape is sexy! Holy Moly! It may take my ego some time to recover from this.

Sorry to make a downer of that story but, it is actually a joke that became kind of an urban legend (like sewer Crocs). It isnt actually true. More of a tall tale...an at its core racist tall tale. Sorry. Ive heard that one SO many times. I am NOT calling anyone here a racist. I just want to clear that up. Anywhoo! Im loving this Pinup topic! I love the names Trixie Duvall and Ginger Minx. One Halloween I was Mistress Ivana Spanken but, I was a dominatrix.

Welcome to the NYC area!

Yesterday during my fill my surgeon told his two fellows (I allow them to teach on me) that a port may flip or seem to flip because with the loss of visceral fat (under the muscle around the organs) the shape of the abdomen changes and since it is anchored the port may change direction. My port hasnt flipped but it has turned almost on its side. It is a complete hassle to get a fill, I was poked 4 times yesterday twice by the NP and twice by the dr. Of course this most likely isnt the ONLY reason a port may flip, it is what my surgeon said.

Sadly I'm lactose intolerant. Slimfast is made using milk products.

Geogia girl, yep I only weigh on Wednesdays. And sometimes I sneak a little one in on the weekend, but I dont record it. I tend to be obsessive, I am a true perfectionist. My nature is such that I want to be at goal right now and anything but that is unacceptable, but also unrealistic. It became really unhealthy for me. So in order to save myself from a future eating disorder (I know myself) I took the advise of many LBTers to weigh weekly. It took a little time but I am happier now than I was then, I can actually see NSVs now when before it was the scale or absolute failure. Its also the reason that I dont have a "highest to goal" ticker. With that and my love of Japanese style colloquialisms, Super Fantastic Weigh In Wednesday was born.:thumbup:

Awesomely done! I wish I could drink slimfast.

Thanks Bigibaby and finding me. I am taking my time. I started by jogging at 3.7 for 30secs then rest for 90secs. Its a little different than the plan but...baby steps. Im trying to be patient, my nature is to want to become an expert runner now. Thanx for the support!

Hey everyone! Im so happy for you ladies and all of your weightloss, its amazing what a little exercise can do! Today is MY (drumroll plz) SUPER FANTASTIC WEIGHT IN WEDNESDAY! Today I weigh 279! I am finally out of those darned 280's they were slaughtering my morale. That is 3lbs this week! Modest but awesome none the less.:thumbdown: Starting weight: 284 Current Weight: 279 Green Day Weight: 268 DOWN So Far: 5 lbs LBS TO GO: 11 lbs

I found the best small bowls and plates at ikea. They have a large selection and most are really beautiful. I got clear glass. I dont know if you have one near you but its worth a trip. However, if you dont, you should try an Asian market. The rice bowls are small usually about a cup. But the dipping bowls are smaller from 1 cup to ounces. Plus they are REALLY beautiful and many come in beautifully boxed sets. That way you get a pretty box to hold and carry your gorgeous dishes. They make great gifts too. I take my Ikea bowl out with me. Especailly when I go to eat at a friend's house, they cant fathom bandster portions. It fits in my purse nicely. I hope this helped a little.

I started today! I was concerned about my knees and ankles and wait till I hit 250lbs. So far I haven't had a problem and dont want to wait. I started training for 15mins instead of 20. I just modified my daily cardio from 45mins-30mins on the elliptical to 30 on the elliptical and 15 on the treadmill. Whoohoo!

AWESOME! Old Navy is tops! I cant wait till I can fit their 20's and 18's. I fit Xl's in their shirts but the bottoms are still a 2 sizes off. Gloucester, yes Lane Bryant has gone insane. I am so glad that I am leaving them. My Lapband broke us up.:drool: Pretty sweet NSV Jennie!

Me too. When I found out what it was made of I got so creeped out I quit eating it. Its greasy and smelly to boot.:drool: I usually add a fat free salad dressing or dijon mustard to my chicken salad. Oh and lots of black pepper and red onions! There is definitely a party in my tummy then. Georgia Girl, I will be trying this in the future. It sound awesome!

I am staying on plan today because I want to lose 2 more lbs this week.

:eek: Im addicted to seeing my new dimples, so I smile a lot! Im also loving my new hour glass figure. I sure didnt know that it was under all of that weight but Im sure happy it was:biggrin2:.

I really like Veggie Spring Rolls, Sushi and Sashimi. My favorite healthy meal that I can make is grilled chicken or fish (usually Talapia or Salmon) with steamed veggies or over spinach salad. Bland sounding, but it is really all in the seasoning of the meat. I guess thats a couple of dishes but, I dont really like to cook per say. The band is making me learn. GKeyT, that sound like a really yummy salad. I love dried cranberries in my salads.

hmm sounds good. I love to add spinach to dishes too!

OMG! I was a wreck for the following 2Months.

Hmm sounds interesting.

i dont see why not.

This from my posts on the Twenties NSV Thread but it fits here too: I had the best thing happened to me this weekend. But overall it was a week and weekend filled with NSVs and reassurances. I met 2 successful bandsters. Men are flirting, new ones and ones Ive known for years. WIERD! I was hanging out at my Bestie's (Jenny) house. She pulled out a picture of me from about 3 years ago. I finally saw the difference. I was a mountain. I looked swollen, full, and SO MISERABLE. Whats sad is that I remember that day and I thought I looked so cute, I looked a mess. This whole time I havent been seeing the change. I figured that I need 30 to 40 more lbs before there was a perciveable difference. I WAS SO WRONG! I am a new woman, NOW! Later, a friend of hers stopped by. When she came to say hi to me, she looked at me weird then said, "Did you lose weight? Oh my god you lost A LOT of weight!" I told her about the band (I really couldnt help myself). Later that night Jenny tells me that her friend said that (here's the best part) I looked like a "totally different person" than I did before. This girl is honest if she isnt anything else which makes it all the more amazing. It was a that moment that I felt the absolute truth of it all: I do feel like a whole different person. I am a different person.
