    Thanks Banks you rock!:flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou:

    and can I just say that if I have to read another post talking about how hard it is to eat all 1000/1200 whatever calories each day I'm going to scream. to heck with screaming I'll express my inner fat chick and sit on them!

    I like food. food is good. I like real food. I have been slowly losing weight now for 6 months and today I was told I look sexy in this dress (which hey I have to admit I kinda do) and I got a double take from someone when I was walking across the parking lot. yay! I am an intelligent well educated woman but I too succumbed to some diet quickies in my lifetime (including a video where you were supposed to breathe a certain way to lose weight - lord help me) but never again. I like eating things that I feel good about afterwards not guilty for. I LOVE feeling healthy and having stamina. I'm still a ways from my goal but eventually I know I'll make it. that's right...one day...my driver license weight won't be a lie.

    take the most ridiculous thing you can imagine and then multiply it by 100 and you still can't come close to how bad it was. I can't remember the name of it but I will NEVER forget the excersises.

    Awww, thanks Kim! I don't know about heaven, but hopefully you guys can take this stuff and build on it, creating your own knowledge base and helping out newbies as I try to do.

    Sit on me if you must, yet it *is* hard for me to eat that much. Some of us are sick and may never be able to eat that much in a day. :smile:

    I won't tell you how my stomach curdles when people talk about eating 2500 calories a day. :laugh:

    If you can't easily eat your calories due to medical reasons I wouldn't dare sit on you...unless of course it would help you feel better!:laugh:

    didn't say anything on the rules about discussion regarding disagreement with forum rules. So yeah,

    I can honestly say that there's never been a Banks/SHBoss post that I haven't learned something from. :happy: This is another in a great line!

    ...and I wanted to say THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU for posting that you liked the magazine On Fitness. I absolutely LOVE that mag! Talk about learning the most you can about fitness! And not a single ad on how to attract a member of the opposite sex (or on how to lose 50 lbs in 2 weeks!). :laugh:

    Cheers! :drinker:

    It's awesome isn't it? Too bad it's bi-monthly. I finish it in like two days, then I'm depressed for like a week, then I go back and re-read every article, then I realize I missed like half the stuff in it the first time. :tongue:

    It's super-awesome. I bring it to work and I shamelessly read it out loud to people and insist that they check out this article or that article! But then, I have to stand right there because I'm afraid to let the magazine out of my sight for fear it will run away with the person who's looking at it! :laugh:
