I'm DOWN....

No, not that kind of down .... 38 lbs down!!!! I just got back from my apptmt with Dr.Wynn. She was very pleased with my progress, I can eat REAL FOOD now and have no restrictions!!! I'm so excited!! I also ventured up to Trader Joes - I picked up some lo-carb pasta sauce (cheaper here than at carb buster d'lites) and some crab meat. I also stopped at Carb busters -- I picked up a couple of the protein bars to try and a s/f cheesecake - I thought it would be a nice treat for me for Valentines! These two stores ROCK!!! ((hugs)) Carla

Good job Carla I am glad you did so well! Take care Dana

Congratulations, great loss

Wow, great job Carla ! You guys are leaving big footsteps to follow.

WOWSA!!! That is FANTASTIC!! Carla - 38 lbs!! that is such a great job! I knew you were loosing lots! You can already see a great difference in yor face, your smile is so pretty and more confident. You need to send OH a new picture already!

Very good job Carla keep those pounds coming off! I am so happy for you. Shay a/k/a Snuggles

Carla, and to think I knew you when. Your doing great. I love that cheesecake but I didn't have the nerve to bring any home. Congratulations on graduating to real food. I also love Trader Joes since I'm only about a mile away (I should probably walk there but I never have). Carb Buster is great but I don't venture down that way too often so it's a little harder to reach. We probably should have them post their smoothy flavors on-line here. Anyway 38 and no restrictions is great. Keep Up (and down). Rob

Rob, I'm hoping 1 day to walk to Trader Joe's too. This summer is my goal. Maybe next year I'll be jogging around the whole place.(if my knees can stand the pounding) ((HUGS)) Elissa

WOO HOO!!!! WOO HOO!!! WOO HOO!!! I AM SO PROUD OF YOU GIRL!!!! Keep up the GREAT work!!! BTW - didn't I tell you that I could see a HUGE (again, no pun intended *wink*) difference in your photograph already??? Kathy is sooo right ... send that new picture or I can grab the one off of the MSN PMRI site if you would rather!!! *sly grin* HUGS!!! Hum, that felt different already! *grin*

Awesome news Carla. WOW. How cool are all these success stories. Big footsteps to follow in. But we're all gonna make it together. Just a little bit at a time. WOW 38 is a magic number. My grandaughter took my stones out and put them in my champagne glass this morning. I even took pictures of it. My own little visual memory thing. 1st it was empty. Now it has 22 stones. I add 1 stone per pound. Maybe 1 day we'll have a stone party. ((HUGS)) Elissa
