LOL , Name the time and place!
Maybe that can be my incentive to keep losing weight ?

One Dell I'm looking at has a fullsized keyboard with fullsize numeric keyboard too. 17" Screen . So it's almost the size of a desktop *L*
I'm just so used to using a desktop I'm worried I might hate it if I get it *L* Maybe I'll just flip a coin.

I used nothing but desktops for years and years before I got my laptop. It takes a bit of getting used to--but I love how versatile it is.

Well, now that I have expanded cable I can watch shows like LA Ink..lmao. So I just happened to run across it the other day while channel surfing. So after this little thread I decided to watch a bit of it. I caught the very end of Miami Ink where that guy fired Kat. And then watched the LA Ink immediately following where Kat opens up her own tattoo shop. Wow--she is really pretty--and would be even prettier (imo) if she wasn't covered in tatts..lmao. Anyway, I think's it's kinda interesting. But still, there is no way in hell I'll ever get a tatt.. I'm a wuss and hate pain--plus they are so permanent.

Oh, and btw--your diary is getting as bad as mine. It took me quite awhile to find this thread again..lol. And of course I enjoyed re-reading all our our silliness (and perviness) while trying to find it..

Sorry I am late on the Congratulations, but Congratulations!!

You're doing fantastic! I can see the difference in the pics you posted earlier.

I'll have to get some pics posted too. Like lots of folks, I tended to shy away from pictures when I was at my heaviest (somewhere North of 300 lbs some years ago). There aren't too many of me even at 266, where I started (here) in July. But I'll find some.

So keep it up!

We'll be racing toward 200 soon!

I have said that eventually I'm going to go back to the first page and read my diary all the way through *L*

Woohoo! Party time !

Oh at the rate you're going, I KNOW you'll get to do that, doll. Now.. when you say "beach" are we talking a Georgia "beach?" If so, I think you should book a flight to Hawaii, so you can see a REAL beach. hahaa Wishing you a great day.

-Sheryl

I hope I can.
Usually when I say beach I mean Gulf Coast. Like Panama City FL. Georgia beaches aren't too hot. Although Tybee Island near Savannah is kinda nice. The Atlantic in general isn't that appealing. The water in the Gulf is always warmer , clearer and the beaches are nice and white sand.
I'd so love to go to Hawaii one day though. I'd be such a tourist *L*
Hope you have great day too!

Paul, I know you can totally make your birthday goal. You have done so well already.

Yeah, the Gulf is very nice--even the Fla panhandle has nice beaches--like Pensacola. However, I LOVE Savannah. I think it's the most beautiful city I've ever been to (only Charleston, SC comes close)--and that includes European cities.

I totally understand the whole feeling horrible at the beach thing..lol. You'll get there, my friend--and you'll be looking great.

And Sheryl's gonna pay for your trip with her DD ATM. She just reaches into her cleavage and cha-ching--out comes some $$....

Hmm..will I watch LA Ink from now on? Probably not. I might watch a few minutes of it now and then if it's on when I'm channel surfing. But I'd much rather watch South Park or Lost (which isn't going to be on until Feb '08..grrr).
