Welcome to 2015
Just wanted to take a moment to welcome those looking to make a change in 2015 by joining the site to aid them in their weight loss goals! I've been on the site for 1272 days (and counting) and after I move at the end of the month I'm going to be looking to lose at least another 37 pounds. Feel free to add me if you'd…

Garfunkel and Oates...Any Fans?
They're coming to my area in about 3 months and want to see them but I thought just for fun who likes this comedy duo

1000 Days (Well, 1001) and Counting...
Thought I'd take a minute and re-introduce myself... 1001 days ago I first logged on to this site on a suggestion from a friend of mine. And the site has been valuable to help me...when I used it properly. I will fully admit, I have not been using it like I should, only because of a myriad of life challenges thrown my way…

Disney Movie Club - Anyone A Member?
So I keep getting this offer, both in the mail and online, about joining the Disney Movie Club. I've been a member before; it's just like how Columbia House is, where your introductory package is dirt cheap and they gouge you on full retail for the rest of the items to fulfill your commitment. I've done the math, and for…

MFP Android App
Is anyone experiencing any problems with installing this app? In particular I'm having an issue with the size of the app and, despite moving it to my SD card, still taking up a considerable amount of space on the internal memory of my phone. It's gotten to the point where, as much as I like the app, I've had to uninstall…

Alcohol Abuse and WLS
Not that I have this problem as I rarely, if at all, drink, but felt it an interesting read for those who have had WLS or are considering it: http://in.reuters.com/article/2012/06/18/obesity-surgery-alcohol-idINL1E8HIBNG20120618

A Formal Apology
This goes to the 178* friends of mine on here who may or may not read this, and to others free to add me if they so desire. When you accepted my offer to add you (or vice-versa), I had every intention of being there to support you on both good days and bad. I fully admit to failing in this area, as a life-changing event…

Need Suggestions from Fellow "Banders"
If you had LAP-BAND surgery, I'm sending out an S.M.S... Save My Stomach! LOL And whether you are banded or not, feel free to add me if you so desire... Okay here's the situation...my parents went away on a week's vacation and left the keys to the brand new Porsche... (oops, sorry...I channeled my inner Fresh Prince there…

For Those With The Gastric Band
I recently learned that I'm not the only one who named his/her LAP-BAND. One acquaintance on Facebook named hers Chuck Norris. I call mine Ralph Hurley. Do you have a name for yours?

A Scale Non-Victory (SNV) via LAP-BAND
For the second time since my last fill (September), I've been having trouble keeping most things down, as though my band has gotten tighter without seeing the doctor. The last time this happened it lasted for about a week before it worked itself out. Yesterday was Day 1 of this new "wave" and I'm hoping it will pass soon.…

Need To Pick The Brains of the XX Crowd
Ladies...I need to pick your brain on something. A profile (not on MFP) had this to say (paraphrased for context but spelled exactly as shown): "I'm really good at...Telling you what I think, usually without a sensor." What exactly am I not grasping? When I inquired if perhaps the poster really meant to use the word…

Still Not New, But Re-Introducing Myself
Hey all! Today marks my 90th consecutive day logging in, and while that by far does not designate me as "new", I thought I'd re-introduce myself. But since I'm running late this morning, this will have to be the Cliffs Notes version. In June 2010 I decided to start taking steps to have LAP-BAND surgery. Earlier this year I…

Now with 33% Fewer j.Mac!
It just occurred to me that with my goal of 94 pounds to lose since joining this site, I'm now 1/3 of the way there as of this past Sunday! That brought a smile to my face!

You Won't Believe This, But...
...as I type this, it is Sunday morning!! I know!! Unbelievable, right?!

I'm NOT New... :)
Today's actually my "Day 50" log-in and after having been on the site (and used the Android app) I thought I'd re-introduce myself and throw out an invite for more friends. :happy: I've (unofficially) lost 16 pounds since I started using this site to track my calories and exercise. So to answer your question "Does this…

The Maine Event
Anyone here live in Maine? I'm planning a vacation to there in mid-September to visit a friend I have not seen in over 20 years.

Latest Treadmill NSV
Today: Started at steeper incline, at a faster pace, and for longer duration than I'm used to. Result: Burned the most calories I've ever done in a single workout. Not quite 800, but that's my next goal. And for grins, I ran the report of calories burned to get an idea of the mileage I've done (since I don't track that).…

Care To Weigh-In On This Topic?
For consistency's sake, I was originally only going to weigh myself at around the same time in the same location. For me, the "official" number would have been in the afternoon on a Tuesday when I am at my doctor's office. But those visits are 6 weeks apart (or longer). And I feel like I'm losing weight, yet me not…

Anyone Have A Gastric Band?
If so, and you need a drummer... *ahem* Seriously, do you have a gastric band (like the LAP-BAND)? If so, what are YOUR nutritional goals? I was given a booklet before surgery and it gave examples of a 1000-, 1200-, and 1500-calorie plans to be on AFTER surgery, but they don't go into specifics as far as number of grams…
