Hey not bad at all Erin, I will have to look for those.. would love to add another whole grain "crunchy" snack to the mix. Thanks for sharing!

OMG I totally forgot to weigh this morning. I had to get out of the house early for a test and well.. you know how it is. I'll answer the question though. The biggest difference is playing with my kids! My folks live in Tennessee and we went to Dollywood last month. I was able to ride all the rides and have a great time with my family. It did not exhaust me to walk all day either. I would not have even attempted this before surgery. Have a great day and I'll do better next week!

Those are huge wow moments Sundi, thanks for sharing them!!!!

HW: 265 SW: 240 LW: 179 CW: 179 Pounds lost for week: 0 I'm playing with my kids...going to the pool, riding a bike, going to the gym, more comfortable in social situations and I'm able to shop/run errands//clean house without becoming exhausted/worn out. I can go all day long. I can run, RUN up and down my stairs. There's just so many things I can do now...I'm so thankful for this surgery.

Hi Shawneea! Hey nothing gained, nothing lost.. that is A-OK. Maybe you will see a loss next week, keep doing what you are doing, we all have weeks like that.

CAn I have a "do over"? I weighed 176 this morning. I wanted to sneak it in here since next week I'm due for my monthly cycle which inevitably means gain.

Aw sure you can.. great job and that is exciting to be inching down in the 170's.. we are like neck and neck always.. great job! I can't wait for the 160's now. I am sure you feel the same way!

Hello Everyone, I am Beatriz and I also had my surgery in December 06. So far, I have lost 105 for a current weight of 215 Lbs. I do not remember my weight last week but this time I will write it down and have for next's weeks weight in. I have been enjoying life more since the surgery, my attitude towards life is a lot different than before. I have more energy and desire to get up every morning because I look forward to a happy and sucessful day at loosing weight. My attitude has changed so much and there is still a lot of rooom for improvement. Nice to meet you all......

Hi Beatriz and welcome! Glad to see you posting! Wow, 105 lbs since surgery! Way to go, that is fantastic! We hope to see you around here more often!
