I thought all the food was wonderful! And Angie...I think your hair looks Fabulous!! Looking at your posting pic and the way you looked yesterday...I would say you look so much younger and very sheek!! It takes a little to get used to shorter hair but you will soon come to love it. I wore mine short for years then let it grow while I did full figure modeling then cut it a few years later and have kept it short now for 11 years! Try some of the hair paste they have out there..you can run your fingers thru your hair and get any look you like! Have fun and be creative!! You Go Girl!

Let me tell you Deb...if I get that small I will probably faint!
I will be thrilled to just get down to a 18/20 so anything smaller will be so extra exciting! You look so wonderful it is hard for me to believe my now measurements were your before!! You will truly be my inspiration!! Don't forget tomorrows roll call to fill us in on your date!! Have a wonderful time!

You're all very welcome. My personal philosophy is to remember that 'sugar-free' doesn't mean 'calorie-free' so gotta stick with moderation. A batch of the cookies would probably help Deb since she has problems getting her calories in each day. My sister had the same problem and swore that as long as she ate 1-2 a day, she would lose.
I guess I try to show that there can be (a Splenda sweet) life after WLS..lol.
