Stephen great weight loss! I know what you mean about the normal "stuffed" feeling after the Thanksgiving meal. I have to say, I enjoyed a little of everything (except the bread since I still can't tolerate bread) including a little pumpkin pie for dessert. LuvitsunnyV@goal

You have done wso great Steve! My Iyear is on the 11th which happens to be 2 days after my wedding anniversary so we will be on a trip just me and the hubby, without our 5 kids for a change, in Las Vegas it will be my first time there since I've been 21. I figure that is a good way to celebrate loosing 129 pounds I hope to get a few more off ny then too. I am only 6 pounds from goal. I know you must feel so much better and have so much more energy to be able to cook for 16 people. I cooked for my family amd my brother so that's 8 people and it was a long day but before I never could have been on my feet that long! Keep up the great work and keep us posted on your progress I love hearing everyone's good news. Kelly

Hey Steve: Congratulations!! We have the same surgery date. I am glad we both are feeling great and eating differently. Yahoo. I have also had ups and downs but mostly it has been on the upward trail. I wish you very happy holidays and lots and lots of wonderful things in your new life. I am so impressed with your weight loss--225 lbs--WOW! You are an inspiration to me. Take care. Carol
