Hi Pam~ I just had to tell you how awesome you look!!! Your surgery post-pics are great. It looks as though your scars are healing really well. Any complications to speak of? I had always thought that I would have my lower body lift as my first surgery, but I'm so tired of my poor boobs being so saggy, I imagine that plus my arms will be what I start with. I haven't lost a whole lot in the last few weeks, 4 lbs. total for month 16. I've laid off the intense walking now that the 1/2 marathon is over, and I can't believe how much the fat on my legs is collapsing! Ughhhh!!!!! I've worked so incredibly hard, and I've still been exercising, but obviously not enough to keep things in place. I can't push my body to do what iti takes for a marathon forever! So... we'll see what happens. Hugs, Kerri

Thanks Monica! Wendy

Lets see: I had the cereal and cuppacino yesterday morning like I said then: 1 6oz yogurt with strawberries and protein powder added. 2 oz of caramel corn cakes (like a rice cake only made of popcorn) dinner did not sit well so nothing there 1 more protein yogurt 3 oatbran pretzels and a colby jack cheese stick LOTS of water--Yeah! Not too bad for me. Hey Pam- Do you make your Lattes at home? And how? I would like to try them. Wendy

Sounds like you are pretty amazing to me Monica

Welp. Here's how I did today: 6 a.m Venti Sugar Free Vanilla Latte (nonfat milk, nofoam) 7-9 a.m. Blueberry muffin (spread out over a couple of hours) 12:30p.m. Three meatballs & a roll with butter 2:30 p.m. Fruit cup (about a cup) 4:00 p.m. mini york peppermint patty 4:30 p.m. Vitabrownie (100 cals loaded with vitamins) 5:30 p.m. Venti sugar free Vanilla latte with non-fat milk & no foam 6:00 p.m. 7 Hersheys kisses 7:00 p.m. Toasted low-fat whole wheat english muffin with turkey & provolone (at the whole darned thing - thought i would POP) Lotsa Lotsa hot tea, one measley bottle of water, and took my vitamins. I have to eat small doses every couple of hours or I get the shakes. Probably could have done with out the freakin' candy....but if I could have found some yellow banana's I would have eaten that instead. I try to eat a banana a day. Those vitabrownies & vitamuffins are awesome if you can find them. They have 100 or less calories, low-sugar, high fiber and loaded with daily vitamins. I can only find them at Giant in my town. How'd everyone else do??? Pam
