where is everyone!!!!!!

Not much chatter on this board. So how is everyone doing. Let's hear some wow moments. I'm willing to put my silly little milestones up. Come on guys !!!!! Everyone one must have holiday celebrations and get togethers, Aren't you excited to put on some new clothes and go show off??? What are you eating? Hows the weight loss? How's the exercise? Are you slowing down yet? Have you tried to touch your toes or paint them??

Hi Heidi, I've been gone three days visiting my grandson - who turned ONE YEAR OLD!! He is just the cutest thing you EVER saw!!! My daughter had not seen me since a month after surgery - or 70 lbs ago. All she could say was WOW. Don't you just love that!? Penny

Your daughter must be so proud of you for taking charge of your weight. I'm sure she saw the energy you have now. Your going to be around a long time for that little grandson of yours. Heidi

Not much going on here. Doing some Christmas shopping. I tried on a size 16 skirt outfit with a jacket last night, and it fit. OMG. I could not believe it. I have lost a total of 105 pounds in 5 months. I never would have thought. People can't even recognize me anymore. They all tell me they have to look 2 or 3 times to make sure it's me. That makes me feel good. I can eat anything about now. Some things I haven't tried yet. Lately, I have been craving a BBQ pan pizza from Pizza Hutt---- BAD.... I keep telling myself it's all in my head and I don't need it. I exercise about 4 times a week at the Monroe Aquatics Center. I love it there. I can cross my legs now. Yey!!! . I hope everyone has a good day!

Wow 105 pounds at 5 months that is fantastic! You know I've seen some pizza recipes on the main board, wls friendly, maybe you can make one that will satisfy your craving???? Worth a try.

Yea, that's what were having 2-nite for dinner. We bought a whole wheat pizza crust, pizza sauce, 2% mozzerella cheese, and turkey pepperoni. I have had it before, but nothing like the real stuff. I love Itialian food....

Ok, I'll speak up!! I post many of my WOW moments on the California board, but never think to put them here....so here I go. I've completed TWO 5k events. The first on Thanksgiving Day and then another a week later. I want to do a 10k, because the 5k walks are pretty easy and I tend to goof around a lot. I fit in my 'skinny' jeans. The smallest pair of jeans I own (size 20). In fact I fit in almost all the clothes I was wearing when I was at my lowest adult weight 5 years ago. I'm taking boxing lessons and keeping up with the boys at the gym. Watch out for me in my pink gloves!!! My jealous sister is still making passive-aggressive comments about my weight-loss. But now I stand up to her and enjoy the jealousy just a litle bit. Men I dated before surgery are suddenly coming around again and giving me more attention......too late, I'm on to new conquests! I walk faster, have more energry and feel great.

Funny about the passive aggressive thing. I've had two people tell me "your going to be skinnier than me" Hmmmm? It's a difficult change for everyone I guess when you go from being the fat sister/friend to the skinny one. It sound like you have tones of energy too with all that your are doing. Great job!!!!!
