Topic: RE: Ethel wants to know! Roll Call
Sorry it took so long to post trying to get ready for Christmas, trying to keep the craziness out of the season. It isn't working so great, have a bad cold and not up for anything let alone wrapping presents and visiting people. But I have one more day to feel this way then I have to get chipper and happy, listening to Christmas songs hoping they will rub off.
My favorite food these days is all food! I would be lost with hot ****o and protein powder, my snack food of choice are graham crackers. Bad choice I know but it is better than the cookies and candies that I want. The only food I stay away from is orange juice because it makes me sick. Otherwise I eat anything but in moderation, I try and stick to the 3 bites wisdom, doesn't always work but I try.
Anyway, I hope everyone has a Merry Christmas with a safe and blessed New Year Year full of joy and happiness.
Hugs,
Jenni

Hello Becky! So glad you took the time during this busy time before Christmas to share with us.
Yum on the seafood. I hardly ever eat King Crab Legs...too expensive for me and family doesn't like them. But I can eat some shrimp for sure.
I am glad you decided to forgo the stress giving job and return to what you love doing. I think the value in that far outweighs the monetary value.
Also, how great to be with your family this Christmas and at goal..what more could you ask for?
My favorite meal is still a salad made with romaine, spinach, salad pizzazz (dried cherries, cranberries and pecans), shrimp and salad spritzer (balsalmic vinegrette).
And of course cottage with Sf blackberry jam from Walmart.
I need to watch out for caramel Rice Cakes...they can be habit forming when watching a movie on the Hallmark Channel or reading Christian Historical Fiction! Tears and munching do not go together after WLS.
But I am still maintaining between 129 and 133 and have been for several months.
Have a Christ filled CHRISTmas and may the Lord continue to bless this new life you and the other April Buddies have been given.
In His love and grace,
Joan M

Hi Joan and Ethel. I need to check out the over Fifty Board also. I haven't come here for awhile even though we said we would check in weekly. Maybe that can be our New Years Resolution now that most of us don't need to make the "lose Weight" resolution!! I miss being here also. This is the board that I enjoyed and learned the most from in my first year. It is great to hear from everyone again. Lets keep it up. God bless and Merry Christmas. Julia

Janni and all April buddies---It is a busy season and as usual I am behind. Sitting here at my sewing machines tying to make gifts I need tomorrow, then on to those I need for the 25th!!
I am doing great. Weight loss has slowed down to about 2 to 3 pounds a month now. I will certainly take that. I have set my first goal as 150 pounds and only have 2.8 pounds to go to reach it. I really want to get to 147.5 which will just put me in the NORMAL BMI catagory. Imagine that!
Start weight 321
Today's weight 152.8
Lowests weight 152.8
Down from a size 34 or greater to 12 pants and large to extra large tops.
I hope to get that lower with a TT and Breast reduction in the future, probably next summer/fall.
MERRY CHRISTMAS TO EVERYONE AND HAVE A LOSER OF A NEW YEAR (or a great maintenence of a year) Julia

Hello April Buddies!! How is everyone?
Stop in and give us the low down....
What is your favorite menu or meal to keep you on track and what is your enemy in the food department? What do you do to try to curb that little demon?
Hope this finds you all doing well, obeying the pouch rules as much as possible and living this new life to the fullest.
I would not have made it this far if it weren't for my April Buddies so I say once again, thanks for sharing your lives with me and helping me and may we never forget how far we have come!
In Christ's love,
Joan M

Deanna I just now got on this site and just ready this and now it is almost Christmas. Congrats!! That is a wow moment for sure! Can't wait to see the pictures.
I would love a little back dress (with 3/4 sleeves of course)...but haven't been able to find one.
Have a great time enjoying the pics when they come in.
