Great job, keep up the good work. I know it's quiet. I have been tempted to take over the board with all kinds of things! That is great you are able to enjoy so many foods already, makes the future look brighter for me as I am a bit of a foodie and generally really enjoy eating, do you feel you are able to do that still?
As far as me, still walking, upping it a bit as far as time/distance go, and working on downing my portion sizes and eating healthier. I know the more I do this the easier it will be when I finally have my surgery.

Hey y'all!!
Its been pretty quiet on the board lately, so I just thought I'd send a shout out to everyone and find out how everyone is doing....SOOOooooo, HOW IS EVERYONE DOING???? :>)
I am 7 wks out of surgery today, 59lbs total lost since Oct, and 34lbs down since surgery. I am wearing a size Large t-shirt today for the first time since.....oh elementary or jr. high school??!!?? :D Totally excited about that!! I may be ready to start thinking about smaller pants again too...not for sure yet! Im eating a LOT of things, and so far have not had any problems with anything at all.....(not sure if thats good or bad yet though), Im loving toast, with pb or cinnamon and splenda, grilled chicken, grilled turkey steaks, soft tacos (made with turkey instead of steak).....ect.
I want to know how everyone is doing, so please post and let us cheer you on!! :D

Jenn,
I think the surgery makes us forget things, like counting,, I think I am 9 weeks out,
I am eating food really well now,, went to Red Lobster with my daughter and she thought the food I ate looked so funny on my plate that she took a picture of it,, It was 3 shrimp scampi, one small crab leg,,and 1/4th of a lobster tail,,I ordered shrimp ****tail for us to share.. plus she shared her lunch,, it was so good and I dont usually use shrimp sauce but I did this time and the flavor was so good,, things taste so good now,,
She was stuffed and I was just fine,, she couldnt believe I was full,, I have lost 54# now and the compliments are really coming,,
I bought a new pair of pants, a size smaller and the legs are way too big for me,, my kids cant believe I can walk as good as I can and no more huffing and puffing,, I can even walk for 35 minutes without stopping 5 or 6 times,, this is great,,,
Keep on going down,,
Bonnie
People stop me on the street
Thinkin' I'm the old me
Talkin' about the bad old days
But ever since you came along
Them old blues are long gone
I break into a grin and all that I can say is
Carol (the other one) :-)
