WOW

Hello Folks, Well I just wanted to share with you . I have hit my first big milestone!! I have lost 50 pounds!!!! . Yep, me, I did that....... I was at a real stand still for a few weeks as you all know but then this week it sort of just melted off. Still in shock here. The other thing I did was have my first chinese food in over 2 months. That is significant for me who has always been a chinese food addict. I usually had it a couple of times a week. I had a tiny bit of the broth and some of the roast port strips from the wonton soup that my mother ordered. Then I had two small spare ribs. I then had some shrimp with cashew nuts. All stayed down and tasted soooo good. I still don't know if I dump as I haven't tried anything with really concentrated sugar. I know there must have been some in the sauce on the ribs but I only had 2 small ones and there is so little of anything on them. That's okay I have no interest (yet) in testing my dumping abilities (or lack thereof). I haven't heard anything further from Mary Lou's sisters but I know she is still in ICU becaue I called the hospital. I know she has a long road to recovery and will need all our support. Today there are two UCONN games on so you all know where I will be!! This is a great weekend because there are another 2 on Monday (MLK Day). HOO HAH. Cold weather and UCONN Basketball........what more can a girl ask for......:lo: Well I am off to do my Walk Away the Pounds tape. I do that when I don't go to the gym. Have a great day everyone. Good luck to all you newbees and just know life gets soooo much better. Linda

WTG, LINDA!!! Sounds like you are really on your way!!! I wish I could enjoy the UCONN games today... but my son (8th grade) has a basketball tournament himself this weekend and I get to be a basketball Mom for a total of SIX games in three days!

Wow Fawn, six games in 3 days!! That is exhausting even as a spectator... Wish your son luck for me!!

you go girl!!!!!!, what kind of surgery did you have to eat those kinds of foods and keep them down? sandi byxbee

Congratulations on the 50 lb loss, Linda! You are doing great! Enjoy your basketball weekend! Continued Success to you, Kim

Linda, You deserve a Pu Pu platter for that milestone!!! I can so relate to the chinese food, I was the same, at least twice a week. I miss it!!! but I think I will wait another month before venturing there. 50 pounds has got to be so exciting, your hard work paid off!! Keep it up Deb

Congratulation Linda I love the Walk Away the Pounds tape also.....did it both before surgery and am doing it now on the days I don't go to the gym. I envy you that you can eat Chinese.......I can't unless I make it my self and use splenda instead of sugar, I love the flavor of allmost all chinese dishes. You got every reason to be proud of your self with that great weightloss, hope to see a picture of you soon!1 Hugs from Tove

Linda- I remember my first 50 was so cool too! Congratulations!! I bet your need new clothes now too!! My first 50 I got a new watch from DH because my wrist was actually smaller. How cool is that? Where did you get this walk away the pounds tape? I would love to try it. My 18 year is teaching me crunches tomorrow to help with my belly. Good games today, too bad the guys lost, it was a great game and so close. The girls need to get thier Mojo back!! hugz C

Hi Cheryl, Yeah they were great games and I am looking foward to another two on Monday!! . I just hope they both win this time. Anyway I got my tapes from my niece actually however I have seen them at Sam's Club or BJ's or Costco's. They have them as sets there with the bonus of either the weights or the bands. I have also seen the tapes at Stop and Shop but they are sold individually (cheaper at the wholesale places). There are 3 tapes in the set. I have actually seen a 4 mile DVD but haven't bought that. No room where my DVD player is to do it. I am not sure I could do the 4 mile yet anyway. I know you can go on line to Leslie Sansone's website to purchase them or Amazon.com or Barnes and Noble etc. but I think the wholesale clubs have them the cheapest. I think you will enjoy them. I have some other friends who just bought them and are enjoying them also. Linda

Linda! Also, I can relate to the chinese food. That will be the food that I most look forward to! BTW, would egg drop soup be considered a stage II food ? Teresa
