Cool "Starting Over" TV....anyone??



I am a reality TV junkie - along with not being able to live without my TIVO. My husband fondly calls me, "Queen La Tivo...."
I love the show called "Stating Over"....there are 2 girls on it at present who have had gastric bypass.....I love to watch it because it deals with their 'body image' for one, and the other is creating a new view herself after WLS. It is very interesting and follows very healthy pricipals...with life coaches...a therapist...and dealing with triggers from the other roommates.
It's about 6 women living together in one house together as they start their lives over...mending old wounds and becoming new.

Love it!!

Does anyone else watch it??

Alt Weight Loss Surgery Insurance
Yes, you can often get insurance cover for your Weight Loss Surgery.
Our own Craig "Big-T" Thompson has been there and done that, and he's written an e-book about it.

I did watch that show often in the colder months. Its is a great show. I however if had a choice am hooked on ALL MY CHILDREN..hehe That is the only show i follow religiously..If not home i tape the old fashioned way. LOL I will try to catch it though it sounds good to see people who we can relate to. Thanks.

YEAH sounds awesome to follow the gastric bypass patients thru there journey live but hard my TV all day into the night is taken over by the
man in charge of my tv...he is three years old and his name is JOSHie.
HE loves to watch DORA, Barney, Clifford and all those shows morning
thru night.
MAYBE I better ask my hubby for a TIVO....well next ocasion is

Exclamation Omg!!!!

TIVO!!!
It is the only way to live....I don't know honestly what we did before it!! In fact...I do remember VHS taping, vaguely...but, when I was at my MIL's house a month ago....she just had the 'bare bones'....and I avoided the TV at all cost.
I remembered that I hated the TV without TIVO...I did have just a few programs I watched...but, I didn't like to watch...I hate - hate - hate commercials!!
I never have ANY time to watch TV during the day...some b/c of my little girl...and the other is because I am the "busiest Stay-at-Home mom" my husband has ever known. He tells me this all the time! LOL.
But....I am a "Night Owl"....and love to watch movies while I do my fun night time activities. Before we were packing...I used to scrapbook, paint...etc - anything creative. Now...just packing...and TIVO!! I'm addicted to Y&R...and Starting Over...every night if possible I watch these shows & pack pack pack!!

You gals need to catch up with the 21st Century...Lisa, your little man can watch all day...you can watch ANYthing after he's in bed....
And LisaMarie....for shame...VHS??? That's like Beta!! Ha.....!

I'm just giving you gals a hard time...we have Direct TV...and TIVO is only $5 extra a month...it was worth it here...and much cheaper than cable here in Dallas. We found that they will charge us exactly the same in NYC....but, I don't know what any of the comparisons are to others there...it's the best here.

You should check out Starting Over...
so says, "QUEEN La Tivo!"

We do have it prodcasted here in Kuwait through MBC tv satallite channel, but unfortunately it's one of the old season. But I like it anyway, there is a girl called P.J She's struggling with being over weight and she's being taught how to love her body in order to get the power to continue dieting. I like the make over sessions. Everyday they pick up one of the girls and start their make over process (hair style, color, clothing design,...) it's owesom and I bet the season you have about the recovery from the bypass is even more owesom. Please keep us posted!

Hope you enjoy it...and I will keep you posted on the Bypass Girls progress...

Hey...I see you got a nifty counter from the Tickerfactory.com....
