Hi Louis, You asked for healthy snack suggestions... Some of my faves are: 1) Genisoy Soy Crisps (Roasted Garlic & Onion is my favorite flavor). Fairly good source of protein (7g) for 17 little crunchy deals, and 100 calories. 2) Apple with Peanut Butter 3) Cheese, grated and microwaved until crisp (gives the added bonus of a crunch in addition to your cheese) 4) Peanuts, almonds, any kind of nuts -- some have more bang for your buck protein-wise than others -- but all have good fats and some protein. I especially like Blue Diamond Lime ' Chili almonds. Other flavors in their "bold" line are Wasabi & Soy Sauce, Maui Onion & Garlic and Jalapeño Smokehouse. 5) Lactose-free chocolate milk (terribly lactose-intolerant after surgery but found a great milk that's lactose free, high protein, low carb - what a treat!) 6) Sugar-free Popsicles (my fave is the Lifesavers flavor) Like I said, I have to have something to look forward to, and these are some fun ways to accomplish that! Fitday is great if you don't mind the truth staring back at you. It's actually a good way to tweak your truth here and there so that over time you don't mind seeing what you have eaten! It has given me the opportunity to learn so much more about what I'm taking in, and it's as important two years out as it was early on - just in different ways. I know so much more about my daily intake, and knowledge is power. Thanks, Louis and everyone on the August board! Kathryn

Class of August 2004 Happy Anniversary. We are 2 years old. We are still young since our surgery and we have grown so much in short time. We are so much smarter and wiser on how we eat. We make the right choices in our food intake and food choices. We are not perfect. We have made mistakes and ate the wrong food, ate too fast, ate too much, and sometimes too little. There has probably been times when we didn't take our suppliments or our water intake amount. The major difference is that we fall of the saddle and got right back on it again. We might fall down like a boxer when we get punched, but we get back up again before the bell rings. And if we fall down again we get up again and again. We still have a long life to go. There wil be more battles along the way. We might lose some, but not the war. We are ready to go over any obstacle that comes our way. We are mentally and physically ready to face the challange. We have trained like a marathon runners. We can go the distance. We should never forget where we come from and where we have been. Class of 2004, as we get ready to celebrate our anniversary I salute to you all. Happy anniversary. Remember you will always have friends that are here for you in the good times and on the rough times. God bless you and stay beautiful. Stay looking Hot.

AMEN

Kathryn, I give so much credit to following the Fitday program. Don't get discouraged about not being able to lose more weight. Just think how you looked and felt 2 years ago. What healthy snakes would you recommend? As soon as I fix some issues that I have I am going to give it a try on the Fitday program. Happy anniversary and take care.

Michelle, WOW, that is amazing. Congratulations on your pregancy and your weight lose. We are all happy for you. Always nice that you are doing great. We all pray that you continue doing fine. Keep in touch. Happy anniversary and take care.
