Topic: overweight humor...
Just figured out why I'm overweight! The shampoo I use in the shower that runs down my body says "for extra volume and body". I'm going to start using "Dawn" dish soap. It says "dissolves fat that is otherwise difficult to remove".

Topic: RE: mini gastric bypass no surgery
thank you for your opinion...you are probably right...I just wondered if there was any real research on it....but that is unlikely if it is a scam.
Topic: RE: mini gastric bypass no surgery
I would be leary of it... they had "full bars" that promised the same thing, adding 230 cal befor every meal sounded stupid, and something that stays in your stomach for 10-15 hours? what happends when you dont injest the substance in time? you gain all the weight back... sigh. I dont think there is a quick fix, I think its a scam but thats just me.
Topic: my small goal!
so i am in a platu that never seems to want to budge! SOO I have decided that I need a new form of goal setting. I have been going to the gym 5 days a week, sometimes 6 if i feel crunchy... anywho I have been walking 5ks, and felt good about my time going from 63 min to 50.5min, less time than i did as a cross country runner in highschool... then I was talking to a frined who is also a runner and she pointed out that I havent actually tried to RUN any of the 5k
.... So Thu I gave it a shot. I ran/walked my 5k in (drum roll please) 45.5 min! hows that for a first shot?!!? I feel great! I congradulated myself with 5 min in the hot tub afterwards (i get bored after 5 min...)
my ultimate goal is under 36min so now every sec counts and I can forget my feud with the scale! yeah me!!!!

Topic: RE: Best feeling ever
yeah for the weightloss! water weight can cause that much gain in a few days, are you bloated? I agree with pushing yourself a little more every day, i know it hurts, and believe me I hate that we have platues! but push a little every day and it will get easier.
Topic: RE: JULY Roll Call
Im still trecking it here! I am upping my anti at the gym so I dont have a lot of time for the computer (hey the sun is calling! hello sprinklers) Im at a stall but all i hear is muscle weighs more than fat, frustrating! really frustrating!
Topic: RE: Looks like I'm back to non-surgical weight loss...
not that this is much consolation... but after surgery its still eat, sleep breath and potty diet, 24/7 for life, you dont stop thinking about your protien intake after youve hit maintenence, you dont stop thinking about if youve had enough calories... I have a frineds wife who had the surgery b/c she was tired of "dieting" now shes says shes a living diet....
as far as your DR situation, I guess your right, I would have probably would have just hung my head in shame and walked out, its easier to say what we WOULD do if it were us when we have time to think about the situation.
good luck I hope you are doing well!

Topic: RE: Loseit.com
Question about Loseit.com??? for those of you who have used it for a while, I am not use to adding more calories in because of exercise, the other program caloriecount.com does not do that, you eat your set amount of calories for that and thats it, it did also have you log your exercise and tell you how much you burned but never gave you a "bank" that it balanced for you. So I was a little thrown off when doing exercise got me a couple hundered more calories to eat for the day, I almost see this as counter productive, has this program worked for you as far as weight loss and adding the calories to your day when exercise? I really like the program, I think it will help me get my head back in the game, i have not been too disciplined in any area for a while, and have not weighed for over a couple of months, I want to start that again!
