Brenda,
This sounds really good. I haven't tried it yet but I will some time. I got a really good recipe for crab cakes if you're interested.

Hi Kathleen, I've missed everyone on this board too. I usually sign in almost everyday and check just to see if there's anything new. I like this board the best too. I check the main board sometimes as well. Your little ones must be happy to have you home with them. That's the best type of support a mom can give if she can swing it I think. Have a great week.

Hello All,
I had a good week. I lost weight again for the first time in about a month. I did the 5 day pouch test to help me get on the losing track and get the carbs I had been snacking on out of my system.
Highest weight: 310
Surgery weight: 290
Today's weight : 155
Total lost: 155
Wow I've lost half my weight!
Brenda, I know what you mean....it's so easy to fall back into old bad habits. You are totally right. You know what to do to stay where you want to be and are using your incredible strength to keep you there. I have learned one thing in the past year...One or two wrong choises will NOT overturn the success I have had. I will continue to make the changes and the right choises even if I slip every once in a while.
Jennifer, Congratulations on your success this week.
I didn't get as much exercise this week because I ride my bike to work and have been off on vacation. I have been to the beach and to pool a couple of times and rode my bike twice though.
My goal weight is 150 and I hope to be there by labour day so wish me luck...or better still strength.
Have a great week
Fran

Hi Brenda,
Glad you have been getting more exercise - that is great! I lost 1/2 lb this week, but it was that time of the month, so that is OK with me!

You truly inspire me to go the distance and stay the course. I can't tell you how much that means to me!
I love you with all my heart!

Hi everyone! I hope this finds you all living your dreams and smiling your new beautiful thin smiles
I have had a strange week, but have done ok dealing with the stress. I do find it much easier to think old thoughts and it's much easier to fall prey to old habits in that frame of mind. It's been a REAL struggle not to cave, and at times I have. But that does NOT make me a failure...it makes me stronger knowing I can see it for what it is and get back on the proverbial horse and ride away in success!
My weight stayed the same this week so that's a good thing! I'm now holding steady at 145. It took me FOREVER to drop that last two pounds and I'm NOT gonna give up losing the rest of the weight I'd like to lose. I'm just gonna take my time doing it and not stew and fret that it won't happen.
My exercise level went up this past week too, not as intentional as it could have been, but nonetheless, I got more physical activity and exercise...and truly IT FELT GREAT!
I hope you all have a super week and I'm praying for and thinking of each one of you daily!
God bless!
Brenda

Hi Ladies! I sure do miss you all. I go into the main boards, but this is my favorite room. I hope everyone is doing good. I know you are busy. I guess I have too much idle time now, being home all day with my lil ladies. I am blessed I know. Please take good care of yourselves! Much Love, K
