Hello everybuddyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!! Its a glorious day outside and I love it! The rain seems to have subsided for a day or two and I have been out and about since about 8:30 this morning. My daughter and I have our GB support group meeting tonight and we get weighed in. I cant wait until 6pm. LOL Also my PCP called and let me know that she had sent along all my info to Albany Med as well as copies of my recent blood work and chest xrays. Im well on my way for this and I cant wait to join the rest of you on the losing side!!! I am also thrilled to say that a very good friend of mine and I have reconnected thanks to this site.

I am here...I dont get around to posting much anymore, but I lurk around a lot to see how all is doing. Tomorrow I am at the 8 week mark. The last time I was weighed was 2 weeks ago and I was down 32 pounds. My scale at home isnt the same and it doesnt even seem to move...so who knows. I will go in next week to my Dr just for a weigh in. That way I will know what I have lost at the 2 month mark. I really dont feel like I am losing it like I did the first month. What is the average as per following months?? I did say last time though I want to stay away from the average quotas...so I dont become disappointed if I dont make it..ya know... I do know however that my clothes are getting so so big on me. I started in a 22/24 and yesterday I secertly tried on a pair of 18s that I usta wear. They were tight in the tummy, but I got them on and button, and zipped. So I was excited I was hoping my this summer to be in an 18 so maybe by this summer I will be in a baggy 18...I hope so anyway... well so much for just posting a "roll call hello". As always...keep you and all on this board in my thoughts and prayers! Tara

I buy the regular Kool aid packets and then add splenda to my taste. I generally use 1/2 cup splenda for a 1/2 gal pitcher of kool aid. This way you get a larger variety of flavors to try. Aslo coke puts out a drink called FUZE, there is one that is low carb/ low cal. It comes in 3 different flavors. Betty Jo Lap RNY 7/11/03 399.5/206/150

hi Tara Congratulations wow down to an 18 that is great and it feels so good when you can see that you are fitting in a smaller size.....you go girl..... As for the scale not moving, don't let that get to you it will start moving again stick to your doctors eating plan and when your inches catch up with your weight the scale will start moving again..... You are doing a great job and thanks for sharing that wonderful news with us... Christine
