Topic: clothing exchange
Hello to all,

I'm trying to start a new group so that we will be able to exchange clothes!  I've been searching for a group but have found none.  If you are interested PLEASE JOIN, what do you have to lose... but maybe some CLOTHES(or gain if you are receiving them)!!!
Again this is a new group so please bare with me.  If you go under community and click groups directory then search CLOTHING EXCHANGE, you should see a group by me!

Thanks soo much for your support,

Navy_Wife

15 lbs in a month is VERY GOOD!    More than I used to lose in a month.

Remember, slow and steady wins the race...keep your eyes on the big picture.  You can do it!!!!!

 ya jeans definitely weigh more..i also usually wait until after I have a good Bm b4 I get on that scale..for me that can be a difference of up to 2 lbs*lol* tons and tons of vegies will do that

so I am down 15lbs in one month, not sure if that is good or bad but I will take it as long as it is moving in the downward direction.

I have set a goal of 15-20lbs per month for myself, already have a plan for changing things up for any stalls etc..

started this process back in 2007/2008 denied MGB, denied for Barix, put on hold (BMI was too high for pilot phase)at St.joe's and since moved to Windsor and had to start again, December, 2009 referral sent from GP...April 5 and 8, 2010 1st appt at Windsor clinic with nurse and doc

 oh i have had this many many times in my life..u know what shuts them up..walk briskly right up to them and tell them, look here I have lost 120lbs and worked my ass off and have no patience for listening to your nonsense..so shut up and get a job*lol* or u could say to them, calling me Buddha is a compliment seeing as he is considered a God and millions of people worship him, so thank u for the lovely words:-)

every time I have walked up and confronted them they freak out*LOL*..some even apologize and usually as u walk away the really insecure ones will make snide remarks*lol* I have always used my size to my advantage, I am tall, big and very confident..it scares some ppl or i am soo overly nice they feel guilty*lol8 after a lifetime in my body I haev learned how to use it to work for me when needed..sometimes confidence alone intimidates ppl..even if u do not feel confident..FAKE IT, ppl never known u could be quivering inside

so just walk that hot bod nice and tall and let it brush off those beautiful shoulders knowing that those lazy boys will have some beer guts in about 5 yrs *lol*

I am going to be 40 yrs old and still get teased about my last name, for real? grown ass ppl still teasing*lol*

LOL!!  ok, when i was in ww before, i didn't even realize i was doing it but i was always wearing the same outfit, i guess maybe i thought it was my lightest outfit, but one day i had on a different outfit and one of the women said "i didn't recognize you, you don't have your weigh in outfit on" i was like "what are you talking about?" and she told me i always wore this blue outfit i have every wednesday!!  i'm kind of glad she pointed that out to me because i go to ww during a lunch hour at work and i'm sure the people at work were starting to wonder why i kept wearing that same outfit every week!!!

because either a) they are scared of your fiance or b) it's just acceptable when men are overweight but not women and that is a whole other subject that gets me going!!  next time you are going to walk past those guys, especially if you're coming from the store, make sure you carry the bag with the tomatos in it and throw one at them!!  (that image makes me smile a little. . . .

Topic: Sorry........I need to vent!!!!!!!
I just got home a few minutes ago. We live on a small street in a large city where people like to hang out on their porches. My fiancee and I had to walk by a few guys who live next to us (ages 20-21) who obviously had nothing better to do than to hang out on their porch. My fiancee was walking ahead of me because his hands were holding heavy bags of groceries and was in a hurry to put them down on our porch. When I walked by, they started telling eachother, "Look, there's Budha. That right there is Budha." As many of you know, I have had a panniculectomy, as well as have lost over 120lbs. I KNOW I LOOK GOOD!!!! But the funny thing is, my fiancee is very overweight and had a big belly. (due to my panni, I no longer have a belly!) So, why am I Budha, and not my fiancee????? Why was nothing said to him, but I was called names???? This has happened more than once!!!! About 2 years ago, (when I was definately big) my fiancee and I were walking home, and a bunch of guys in a car started shouting "It's the great pumkin!!!!" at me because I was wearing an orange shirt. AGAIN nothing was said to or about my overweight fiancee!!! WHY???????????

Men are such chickens!!!!!!!!!!

That's the only reason why I can figure they would only yell stuff at me and not my man!!!!! Any one else encounter stuff like this where you are with someone else overweight and, yet, YOU are the only one targeted for verbal abuse?

Do you see the glass as half empty or half full? I say, what difference does it make--I paid for a full glass,so either way I am getting jipped!!!

Hi Ruth!

After being sedentary for YEARS, last week I began exercising again, and met my goal! 
(I exercised 3 times at one mile each time on the treadmill). 
Coincidentally, I lost 3 pounds. 

Who's next?!?
