I had surgery for it (not knowing that's what it was) back in the early-to-mid 90's. Right armpit. Only thing I truly remember about the surgery is that the anesthesia that was supposed to knock me out didn't knock me out right away and I felt the first parts of the surgery. But that's off-topic.

Welcome back! :-)

Hey howdy from Florida!

Thanks, now I want a Blizzard. LOL

Here is a recipe for indulgent brownies, and there are only two ingredients: brownie mix and one can of Diet Dr Pepper! http://recipes.sparkpeople.com/recipe-detail.asp?recipe=430592 I've tried it before and it's yum-o! I don't recommend adding the walnuts; they just sink to the bottom of the pan. And you may have to cook…

If you put bacon bits on a strip of bacon, you can go back in time.

Hi Becky, Having had a surgical option (lap-band), I can honestly say that even if you do go that route, you're still going to need to work to keep the weight off. It's not a magic solution; it's just a tool, just like this site is a tool (to help with weight loss efforts, not to be taken out of context LOL).

There was this one time, in band camp...

Mine is taken from the movie Sneakers. And as another bit of interesting trivia, it's also my eBay screen name...I'm the original one!

Hi Susan! (crickets chirping) Oh it's not THAT kind of support group? Cookies Anonymous? I must be in the wrong room...

To paraphrase my friend Willy... Exercise 93% perspiration, 6% electricity, 4% evaporation, and 2% butterscotch ripple.

Hello there...I'm going to be perfectly honest and say I'm not "the best" when it comes to support...I've been on the site over 405 days and I was much more "active" a year ago than I am now...this year has just been rather tumultuous and... sorry I want to keep this positive. There are a LOT of people on this site who are…

Australia, England, and Ireland. That's long-term. Short term? Canada, Bahamas (going next month!), and Hawaii. Even shorter than that? I want to go to...bed. And I have to go to bed... ...because bed won't come to me...

Okay the post is 10 days old but still has some legs, so I'll throw my 2 cents in. The only body type that DOESN'T do a thing for me is the morbidly obese. My girlfriend is not a supermodel...she has curves, and has said she needs to lose some weight. But as I tell people ad nauseum when this topic comes up: body…

The Pac-Man death noise, which means I either just got a text or an email...'xcuse me...

Jim Gaffigan on Bottled Water When they first introduced bottled water, I thought it was so funny. I was like, “Bottled water! Ha ha, they’re selling bottled water! I guess I’ll try it… Ahh… this is good. This is more watery than water. Yeah, this has got a water kick to it.” This must be H-THREE-oh...

Awesome, thanks for the link!

Well I was really, really scared to be on the scale but the nice lady told me I would get a treat if I just stayed still and looked cute, so I did. :-)

Awww and we love you too!

Even though it's a penny for your thoughts, I'm going to throw my two cents in (somebody's making a penny)... I see MFP as a site to help you achieve your personal goals. Now, one's personal goals are going to vary from person to person, but typically people are going to join up 1) because it's free and 2) because you have…

A second-hand emotion. Who needs a heart when a heart can be broken? Say, those sound like some good lyrics...if only we could put it to music...

I really wish I had the answer for this one.

*Like!

Well my doctor does take CareCredit and I would generally have 6 months to pay it off with no interest, but I already took advantage of that -- twice -- late last year and I need to try to reduce my debt. Maybe come mid-year I will re-assess the situation, but for now I just want to see what I can do to get by on dietary…

I apologize on behalf of my gender.

I'm not alone (got my daughter) but I've been fighting a headache and have been depressed so I wouldn't be good company tonight.

Every time I hear "phenomenal" I keep thinking of that sketch from The Muppets... Phenomenal...doo doooo doo-doo-doo.... Phenomenal...doo doo-doo doo... Phenomenal...doo doooo doo-doo-doo doo-doo-doo doo-doo-doo doodoodoodoodoo doo doo doo-doo doo

If I had to ban a phrase for 2012, and unfortunately I also overuse this one thanks to my supervisor, it would be: "What up, yo?" Again, thanks to my supervisor, this three-word (and I use the term loosely...or is that lose-ly) phrase is ingrained in my psyche. I say it sometimes as a reflex and not even realize I said it…
