Thank you! I got it! :~)

Yep-- confessing here-- I'm a lurker too. Being a relatively newbie, there isn't usually much I can add to the conversation.

On the rare occasions when I'm the first or second person, and I can add to the mix, I do so.

Always love your posts, Elena!!

Elena - I have to agree with LA....I lurk. There, I said it.....I also have to say, I too would rather not repeat good adivce that has already been given. But I do lurk alot while at work....and finally, I would have eaten once piece of pizza and been sinfully satisfied .....I feel so much better now that I have this out in the open! Thanks Elena!
Now tell me what I should do....there is a baby shower here at the office this afternoon and there will be cake!

Heidi, this may be late for today, though I always carry soy nuts and/or high protein 'meal replacement' bars in my purses so to never get caught without protein, or a safe alternative to what's being served at various functions.  Just my two cents.....hugs, Patti

I lurk too, just can't take time top respond when at work. Usually can respond more on weekends. Don't want to get myself in trouble so I lurk in and out quickly. Like now...gotta go

OK, so sometimes I just lurk
Which doesn't mean I am a jerk
Especially considering I am at work

HEY! I just got on... give me a minute. LOL. I lurk too. I must admit.

Hugs,

Lori

Hi Elena!
I lurk all the time but don't post much :)
You guys are such an inspiration to me that I feel like I'm a fly on the wall in your journey.  Thank you so much for sharing your stories, it means a lot to me and probably others out there.
I'm so denied for wls right now so I'm trying one more time to drop this weight with diet (and excersise when I am able to again).  It's very motivating to see and sometimes live through you the other side of life....the one where you're not dragging around another 100+ lbs!

I know what you mean.... I am sorry about the surgery denial. You can always get support here, wls or not.... I have the band, but in my mind I pretend like I got the RNY to speed up my weight loss, hehe. Pretending seems to work well for me thus far.
