Recommended Posts

and if I can do it anyone can do it!

The Nutrisystem commerical is on right now... everytime i watch it I just laugh.

GOOD GOLLY MISS MOLLY!! If I EVER get to a size 10 I'm declaring a national holiday!!! I DREAM of being a size 10.... :thankyou:

Anyway sorry, total random post. Just thought it was funny. What's not enough for one is more then plenty for another! :)

P.S. I haven't really gone from a size 10 to a size 4... I'm still at an 18. Just being funny (or trying) :)

I totally understand. I think the same thing every time I see that commercial.

Like a size 10 is a big, fat blubbery size:rolleyes: --phew...if only I were a size 10...

We'll get there some day!

:thankyou:

I'd be a rail at a size 10. I'd be happy with a 14 at this point! Really! I'm in an 18 now...my butt and thighs are keeping me from the ever-elusive 16. sigh. Yeah, size 10 is a dream!!!!

Hahaha .. yea those bug me too. Size 10 (especially in Australian sizes, seems like a real pipe dream at the moment.

My favorite thing about all of those commercials though, is the teeny tiny print at the bottom that says "Results not typical", even if they're only saying they've lost 12 lbs. Its laughable.

That's funny because when I read this thread I thought, why would someone who is a size 10 need lap band surgery?! LOL Yeah, I used to think a size 10 was HUGE...that was before the size 18 and then..er...well, I'll be banded pretty soon. I'm tired of plus sizes. :thankyou:

Oh you read my mind.

I am SO sick of that commercial - a size 10, eh? If I get to a size 10 you guys will have to beg me to stop putting scantily-clad photos of myself in every post.:) I'll think I'm some kind of Super Model at that size, LOL.

Whoever created & wrote that commercial should be 'sentenced' to having to wear plus sizes for an entire year (for some people it really would be punishment, I suppose - look how miserable the size 10 is :thankyou: ) and THEN let them come back and see how they feel about the "dreaded size 10" -

They'd be delighted to be back in that once-dreaded size, I bet.

Ok I was in a Australian 12 at 13 years old! That's about a US 10. And you know what? I wasnt fat! I was tall and big but I was not overweight at that point in my life.

I must have lost and gained 500 lbs. in my lifetime. I'm 62 and have run the gamut of diet crazes from pills (that were ever so dangerous) to every living diet known to man. One involved drinking vinegar and Water. That surely had to be the worse. I've done Jenny Craig, Weight Watchers, you name it. Yes, I lost a lot of weight. I went from an 18 to a 10 ONE time, and guess what within a yr. of reaching that goal weight and splurging on a new wardrobe because I was determined I would never gain it back, I had to buy a new and even larger wardrobe by the end of the following year. You just can't maintain the weight, nor can you keep affording the food for another thing, plus don't let anyone fool you...it doesn't taste great. I went to a size 22, up from the 18 I started at.

These crazes may work for awhile while you are losing and have an instuctor you are paying bookoo bucks for, but poof the pounds come back in no time. I need something all the time to help me keep them off, and I've come to the solution I'm going to work with this band and make it work for me. I just have to get the band which I'm working on.

I was a size 10 for a day, I think it was a couple of years after I was born, LOL. No actually, in 1980, I lost 50 lbs, got down to 125, truly for a day, then never hit it again. I'd be happy as a senior citizen 12.

I hate that commercial. Anyone at any height at a size ten is perfectly healthy and nice looking. I would like to kick that lady in the cooter. No wonder all these skinny folks "size 14 & under" feel they need to be super skinny and anorexic. I can't wait till I am a size 18 again. I would be perfectly happy at that. JMO

I get angry whenever someone advertises a perfectly normal size (10, 12, 14) as being "overweight". At size 14 I look positively skinny. It's soooo annoying. I agree 100%

I agree with all of you and I HATE that commerical. I was a size 12 for a day when I was 18 Went from what I then called a fat 16 to a 12 the next week I was an 18. I am now a size 30 and wait for my la band. At 53 I have also tried everythign out there. Lost 50# and gain 100# Now I just wish I was that size 16 again.

That one just makes me laugh. The one I HATE is this one:

"When is a diet pill worth $153 a bottle?" My response is NEVER!!!

I hated that commercial with a passion. Now I hate the new generic version: "If you are significantly overweight, you have probably seen this commercial..."

Like skinny people couldn't see it? Hello!!! You couldn't get away from that stupid commercial.

The Nutrisystem people are just going for a different Target Market these days - The Normies, the Vanity Pounders. Whatever...

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
