Topic: RE: Any afro-americans losing there hair, are you able to use a relaxer on your hair?
I am also African American and after 4 1/2 months am losing my hair like crazy. It is permed, but I am afraid to get a touch up. Right now I am just combing it back straight and letting it rest. Most people say that it usually tapers off after about 9 months - there was a good message about this on the regular board not too far back.
Topic: RE: Is salt your enemy?
I will try all of your suggestions. My biggest enemy is salty snacks. I could go forever without eating anything sweet, but put some Utz or Doritos in front of me and I go crazy. 
Topic: RE: dumping
I can truly identify. My husband and I had date night on Saturday and went to see Secret Window. He bought a large popcorn with butter. I sat there and mindlessly ate at least half of it. Boy did I pay for it later - I was sick as a dog. You are right, it must be the movie butter, cause I can eat microwave popcorn with no problem.
I am still wondering if it was worth it - but it was so good going down!!
Topic: RE: cracker barrell :)
I really love Cracker Barrell too. When I go now I just usually order an egg over light and some toast. It is really hard to resist the hashbrown casserole - it is so good. However, I have been successful the last few times I have been there.
Thanks for the info.
Topic: RE: Two Week Plateau
Toni,
Thanks for the feed back, it really helps. I see that you are really doing well. I guess I got a little spoiled. I've lost a total of 68 pounds and now I'm approaching my 5th month come this Saturday and I haven't lost anything for the month so far. I guess it's my turn for the weight loss to stall. Anyway, keep up the great work.
Sincerely,
Cherry

Topic: RE: Hello I'm new here
Hello Rikka, Welcome to the Oct. surgery board. We are surgery date twins. I weigh in at my highest of 317 and as of 3/2/04 was 208. I only weigh myself on my monthly anniversary. Otherwise I would go nuts. I am loving every minute of my journey. I wish I wouldn't have to loose so much hair. But it is a small price to pay for this wonderful gift. Many blessings to you on your journey. 
Topic: RE: Not dropping any dress sizes!!!!
Angela, You go girl, you are doing great. Don't think that your dress size might not have gone down enough, just keep in mind how far you have come. It's not over yet, and there is so much to enjoy and be thankful for. Many many blessings to you on your journey.
Topic: RE: Not dropping any dress sizes!!!!
You dropped two sizes at least. I'm sure you feel better. I have dropped two also. My surgery was Oct 24th. I feel great. My most noticable place is in my face though. Karen
