Just sticking my head in to say hello...

Hi Everyone, I know it's been quite a while since I was online. My job has been consuming a lot of my time and I have had some transitional issues with my church life - long story. Any way, I just wanted to say hi and let you all know I am doing OK. I'm holding steady at 151-155 right now. Wish I could say that I was thinner, but I'm not really doing what I need to do to drop anymore weight. That's the honest truth. I haven't gone in for a check up yet - but when I do I'll let you know what my stats are. I've dropped in and lurked a few times. It's good to see Shaweena online and I am always amazed at the amazing recipes ya'll are able to find. I intend to try the poop cookies - if for no other reason than to freak my son and husband out. Even though I haven't lost a lot more weight, my body has really slimmed down - which is hard for some of the people around me. They think I look too thin - which I don't understand, because they don't have anything to compare me with (?) Cool Thing: This weekend I was a counselor for a mid-winter church camp in the hill country around San Antonio. Lots of walking and a great hike up a hill was the daily routine. It was SO COOL to be able to hike the whole way without breaking a sweat or stopping to catch my breath - and to sprint across the campground without fear of my ankles or back giving out. WHAT FREEDOM!!! Ya'll take care and keep the faith! Kerdeeya (your long-lost wls sister)

Hi Cordelia! Good to hear from you too! Wow...this has been a fun day catching up with missing friends. Sounds like you are doing just great, I'm so glad to hear it. Let us know how the Poop Cookies turn out, I haven't wanted to bake any treats that I can eat yet since doing that five day pouch test. It sorta feels like the minute I start in on so-called legal treats it will spiral out of control again. Am really trying to stick to making myself want to eat protein. Congratulations on being in such great shape for your hike, too. How exciting to accomplish something that might seem like nothing to someone else but we here know what a major victory that really was!!! Keep up the great work and keep checking in with us, ok? Molly
