Topic: Walden Farms Peanut Spread
I bought some of this at the store last week. Thought it would be a good alternative to peanut butter and heck no calories, how could I go wrong?
I opened it this morning to make the girls some PB&J's for lunch. I smelled it...it doesn't smell like peanut butter. Then I got some on my finger so I licked it...doesn't taste like peanut butter either.
I think my expectations were too high. I put on lots o' jelly to try to mask the flavor from the girls. I know I'm gonna hear about it when they get to my school this afternoon.
Have you tried it? What are your thoughts? I want to like it...I really do...but I don't.

Topic: WOW moment last night
Last night was my Holiday Choir concert and there were a few alumni students in the audience. I hadn't seen one since this past May. He was one of the few students that knew that I was working towards surgery. Anyway last night after the concert he came up and hugged me and said at the beginning of the concert he kept looking for me and couldn't find me. He thought I wasn't there. It wasn't until I walked out on stage for our portion of the concert that he finally knew that it was me. How fun! He didn't recognize me!.
Topic: RE: 5 Month WLS Anniversary
You all are doing wonderfully! I am down a total of 83 lbs from my higest (65 since surgery). I am wearing a size 16 and they are a tad loose. I'm itching to buy 14s but I will wait.
The only thing I am lacking is a committment to exercise. i bought myself a Wii for christmas and am waiting until them to open it.
Foodwise I do okay. I don't dump on anything, but too much fat gives me the runs. I don't always make the right choices but I do make the good ones more often than not.

Topic: RE: saggy skin
You guys are just making me laugh! I'll take the saggy arms over the saggy thighs. Ugh. Can't stand the look of them. I think it will take me a while to adjust to those.
Topic: RE: saggy skin
I feel you girl. It's just skin! Some people need a life. Now my saggy boobs are another story! I'll take saggy arms over floppy boobs anyday!

You'll never leave where you are until you decide where you'd rather be.
You know I FORGOT that today makes 5 months! You look great! Congratulations!
I'm doing OK. I feel good! I'm taking 3 medications a day instead of 13-15 and I take nothing for diabetes. I bought a size 22 swimsuit top for my Jan 1 vaca in Florida last week. Last year I wore a 32. (Don't know about bottom, its on backorder and may or may not fit). I guess that The surgery is working for me, but I realize that if I really wanted to mess things up I know I could. It's not been a miracle cure. It's hard work. Anyone who says its the "easy" way gets an earful from me! I've had two mini stalls. I've fallen off the wagon and ate the wrong things. I've missed some protein and vitamins and fluid. But, overall, I've done pretty darn good. I don't see what others see yet, but I'll get there.
Mini-wow. My father walked past me in the drugstore 3 times before he realized it was me.
My personal goal is 175, but to have a "Normal" BMI I need to be under 147. I'll be ok anywhere between the two.
Thanks for posting the thread.

Thanks Luanne! You put us all to shame with the amount you have lost! Total weight lost just amazes me! You ROCK! XOXO
Topic: RE: 5 Month WLS Anniversary
Thanks! It sounds like you are doing fantastic! I sure wish mine would move! It seems like forever since the scale has really moved moved. It just stays stuck at a number for a whle then all of a sudden it will move and so on. I attribute some of it to the fact I am working out so much that maybe "muscle" is causing it to stand still. I am still losing in inches.
Now I want to be in a size 10! I bought some the other day at Good Will this is my other goal for the end of March. To fit into size 10 jeans! :D
