I hate it when people post just to post.....

It's ok. I will get over it. Just a little ego blow.

Wow, I'm shocked that they didn't warn/tell you. Or at least ask if you wanted to be one of the flashing before/afters they have up there now. Who are those people? Are they LBTers do you think?

Whenever I eat lots of meat, my cholesterol goes down.

Duh. It's one of our first rules as a bandster. You have to eschew everything very well.

ROFL:lol:

I think that they are possibly the people from the commercials for Lap Band. I just went to lapband.com and they have the same pictures for the success stories. Heck, my doctor has the same pictures on his website.

They should have put bbk back up...

We should vote..

I think so too. I miss BBK being the lady at the top.

So bored at work...I have about 1hrs worth of work and I have to stretch it out over 12hrs...its kills me ..I could be at home watching gossip girl.

I understand. When I got to work yesterday, I didn't have any work. That was tough. I can only hope that today is better. If not, I am taking my MP3 that has the couch to 5k to work with me.

I need to cut out the white carbs, I think that would definitely help my weight loss. My problem is my family is a traditional southern meat and potatoes kind of family, and so am I. Maybe I will make that my New Year's resolution.

As for BBK being at the top, it wasn't meant to offend anyone by not having her there anymore. Many members felt there should be more representatives of LBT than just one person. In the next few weeks, you will see Alex post some information in which members can send him their before and after's so we can begin featuring our own members at the top on a rotating basis. I think this will be awesome.

i'm not sure i can cut meat out; especially as hunting seasons are opening up & DH is a big bird/duck hunter....however we have cut our meat consumption by more than half & increased our fish/sushi intake.

my issue is mexican food. being in tx - we go or had gone several times a wk. we limit ourselves now to once a wk & 1 margarita (lg one of course).....i could live on chips/queso:rolleyes:

I'm not so much opposed to eating the meat as I am to the conditions the animals live in until the are killed.I'm from alabama I know about southern food.< /p>

I thought gravy was a food group.

have you seen the movie - "fast food nation"?

its pretty disturbing, the slaughtering of cows for fast food chains.

i agree the conditions of the animals is a disgrace; and i hear chickens are the worst??

[gone 4 ever 6]

I thought gravy was a food group to....maybe it is in with the food group chicken fried everything, since you have to have the gravy with it.

[tapshoes 2]

It is easier for me if I tell myself that meat grows on trees!!

I don't want to read, see, think, hear about the reality...

I live in my own little happy world...

Happy sunny Thursday.

[smsmithart 4]

Yeah I tried thinking that way for a long time ..I've never knew the reality and the horror of factory farms.
