Hi Mary I just wanted to say hello, and you look great!!Congrats!!! Take care, sheree

Sorry again. I have been really MIA. Still exercising every morning. Trying to get in a little sweat some evenings. Working a 2nd job is really taking away from the "me" time. And I thought I had "too much time on my hands". But still working out.... "never give up! never surrender!" Have fun! Pam

Good Saturday to All... How's everyone doing today??? I'm doing good. Went to bed at like 9 pm last night. Man I was whipped. Am working again today. She gave me 20 hrs of ot for this week. Get soooo tired by the end of the week, but, like I said the extra money is wonderful.... So, me & the girls went on a little over 4 mile bike ride this morning. It's sooo nice outside again. Loving the dry weather. We had so much rain & flooding the past few weeks, it's nice to get out there. July 2 189.5 July 3 189.5 July 4 188.5 July 5 186.5 (2.5lbs from 100lbs since surgery) July 6 186.5 July 7 187 July 8 186 yeah Have a wonderful weekend everyone........... love you all Tammy 291/284/186/164 surgeons goal/145? my goal

*Hijack!!* Carrie! I love your new pic! You look awesome!

Sheree, I have a pretty standard boring menu: B - 8-10 wheat crackers (I like the Pepperidge Farm) with 2 oz cheese L - either a small sandwich (I love the 7-11 little turkey sandwiches, whole grain bread and 190 calories, they are really tasty) or Wendy's Chili, sometimes a cheeseburger, or sometimes more crackers and cheese D - either crackers and cheese, maybe 3/4 cup hamburger helper, maybe 2 steak tips cooked a real long time (about 1" square) S - sometimes cheese and crackers, sometimes a mini bag of popcorn, sometimes nothing I drink about 120 oz of coffee, 16 oz crystal light and 12 oz diet pepsi or sprite throughout the day (I know these aren't recommended liquids, but it's working for me) This varies greatly. Sometimes if I am not paying attention, I could go all day without eating, and sometimes it seems like I can't stop (I went for a full day at the amusement park and ate a 2/3 of a cheeseburger, 1/2 fried chicken sandwich, 20 fries, 6-8 onion rings, a whole fried dough and half a funnel cake sunday along with at least 12 16-oz cups of diet coke, spread thoughout the day and still lost 3 pounds that day, go figure!) So....I guess I am saying don't take nutrition advice from me, but it seems like now I eat "normal," but small portions, and have never gained a pound, and continue to lose. Carrie
