Monday Weigh in!!

As I can see, you really like your squash Sarah. I'm not a big squash lover but they do sound amazingly good. I'm going to have to try these poppers you talk of. They sound delicious. I'll let you know how I like them.

 LOl I HATED squash... but when cooked right... I can't get enough!

Thanks for the recipes Sarah, I will try some for sure... Can you give me the link to the blog you told me about at the restaurant... I want to check it out. Thanks!

 Sure!  the website is http://pouchparty.blogspot.com/


On that site, they had a cooking party that I thought may be an AWESOME idea for those interested.  We can have a themed dinner party where we all bring stuff to make a favorite recipe... we can hold them once a month-  or once every two months,  would anyone be interested?  For instance, one month it can be Italian, the next Asian, etc...

 Ooops  wrong link... the one with the recipes is http://bariatricfoodie.blogspot.com/

Sounds like a good idea. Let's see if there's some interest.

Hey Sarah! way to go on your loss. So close to saying bye bye to the  300's and Hellllllo to the 200's. You are such an inspiration my fellow RNYer! By the way, Happy American Thanksgiving on Thursday. I know how much you'll be missing home. You'll be in my thoughts. Cheers

Hi guys!
I think the OH site is acting a little wacky today as I  have been trying to reply to each individual and my posts are coming up all at the end so I will just conclude my congratulations on this one post to avoid having numerous posts all in line from me.

Joel: Great job on the good food choices and maintenance. My body hasn't yet decided what weight it wants to be at so I am up and down from week to week. LOL. I am fine with it.

Diane: I am so happy for you. You've reached not only a weight loss goal but also a psychological ahievement! You are an amazing women and such an inspiration.  I know you have finally conquored some major fears. You can do this and you are doing everything right to reach your next goal. We've come such a long way my friend. Big Hugs and kisses.

Nathalie: what an accomplishment.....you'll soon reach your goal. Keep up with your efforts!

Derek: Keep on trekking my friend. Your attitude and perseverence is moving and will assure you your success post op!

I hope I didn't forget anyone....

I had an up and down week.....last week I was down 3lbs and on Monday I gained them back. So I am back up at 154. I didn't take as much protein shakes last week as I was travelling and staying in hotels. We'll see what happens this week.... Overall I am becoming more and more comfortable with maintenance.

You are all my heros!! I'm telling you, evertime if I'm feeling a bit down all I need to do is come here and "bam" I'm feeling better. I smiled through reading this whole post and I want to tell you all how proud I am !!!

Diane wowwwwwwwwwwwwwww!!! You are at goal.It seems like just yesterday that you went for your surgery.
I seem to be feeling like you felt in the beginning I am feeling now. I can't see myself anywhere close to what you and everyone else is achieving. I'm usually so positive but I just can't "see" it.

Again congrats to all of you!! You guys really rock!!

Hugs,
Ada

 Ada, 
I just NOW changed my goal weight because even though I am in the middle of losing the weight I still didn't see it.  I force myself to see me losing it all!  I had an aunt send me another before picture-  Simon nearly dropped his jaw on the floor when he saw it.  He just can't believe how far I've come.  I weighed myself today and I am down to 313.2....  which is scary because I keep expecting to step on the scale and all the weight in the last week will come rushing back on.  Esp. since its been so long since I have had a week with a loss like this.  

In due time we will be cheering you on near your goal as well!!!  You just wait and see!!!  what you will accomplish will be awesome!!
