Topic: RE: 50 things to do instead of snacking
What a neat list - thanks for thinking it up! I copied it to a word document & saved it to my desktop so I could open it any time. I think I might even expand it to 100...
Topic: RE: Joined Weigh****chers
Hi Pat,
I joined WW and lost 15 lbs. I had to stop going because I couldn't afford the fees and my work schedule interfered with the meeting times. I think they have a good program and it was nice to have an accountability partner. When you have to step on a scale, you can't lie. The scale tells the truth. Good luck, I know how we all struggle, every day. Please feel free to email me.

Topic: RE: Joined Weigh****chers
Hi Linda! I'm so glad that I am not the only one going through this period that
I am experiencing right now.
I still want to lose another 25 pounds and had lap rny on January 10, 2005. As
we know, I have not lost anything since about 14 months postop. I am becoming
really depressed, although I should be happy since I started out at 263 pounds.
I am only 5 feet tall, so at 153 pounds I am still overweight.
I read that you started Weigh****chers. Have you seen any results? I'm getting
desperate at this point! I know that I should up my exercising, but besides
that I practically eat nothing. Just have tossed salad and some chicken or fish.
Still drink Isopure protein drink once a day. I am able to get in 140 oz.+ of water.
I would love to hear from you!
Take care and look forward to hearing from you!!
Aloha,
Pat
Topic: Anyone tried NutriSystem!!!
Hi all fellow January, 2005!!!
I hope that everyone is doing fine!!
I'd like to find out if anyone has tried using NutiSystem for additional weight loss?
I would like to lose nother 20 pounds and was wondering if it would be worth to try
this tool.
Last night on QVC (they sell NutriSystem) I heard a person call in who had wls,
and she was purchasing the food.
I would be most grateful to hear from someone.
Have a wonderful week and God Bless!!!
Hugs and aloha,
Pat

This is a 4 day cruise leaving on Thursday from Jacksonville, Florida at 4pm EST. You can arrive at the pier and begin boarding at 1:30 EST.
Friday we will be arriving in ..... THE BAHAMAS! The ship will dock in Freeport at noon on Friday where we will be able to disembark and explore the beautiful island and area of Freeport. The ship will not leave out until 7pm that evening allowing us plenty of time to enjoy ourselves and have a GREAT TIME.
Saturday we will visit Nassau and arriving at 8:00 am. This will be a long day of activities on shore. Many on the last cruise had wished that we would have been able to stay at Cozumel longer in the evening. Well, our wish has been granted as we will be able to stay in Nassau until 10pm on this evening.
Sunday is the Fun Day at Sea where we get to enjoy all of the wonderful activities onboard. From contests, casinos, day spa... there is something for everyone. No matter what you want to do, something is available to suit you. While at port in Nassau and Freeport, you can take shore excursions offered through Carnival. Visit Carnival.com to see what shore excursions are available.

Topic: RE: Poll- 2 years post op, how much have you lost? Gained?
Hi Mitzi!!!
It was so nice to see your post!! How have you been? Can you believe that it's been
2-1/2 years since our WLS!!! How time flies!!
You are looking just great!!
l. Beginning weight: 263 pounds
2. Lowest weight: 128 pounds
3. Current weight: 131 pounds
4. Height: 5 feet
5. What foods can't you eat? Nothing really!! That scares me!!
6. Calories per day: 800-900 per day
7. Exercising: This has really slowed down, I do have a treadmill at home
so I jump on every now and then.
I would still like to lose another 15 pounds, but doesn't look like it's going to happen.
I really need to watch especially since I'm only 5 feet tall. I never want to be
263 pounds again! Actually, sometimes I feel like I'm still back there.
Take care and God Bless you and yours. Have a wonderful week.
Hugs and kisses,
Pat
