*** Friday's Rollcall ***

Happy Friday Everyone! I hope you are all doing well. I have been having computer problems at home so I haven't been able to check in for a few days. I don't know exactly how long the computer is going to be out so I may only be able to check in on Fridays for a while. You guys are always in my thoughts and prayer though! QOD: 1. What is your favorite food right now. (I know I've asked this one before but its been a while and your answers may have changed.) 2. Have you had a problem with hair loss since surgery? 3. Stats.... Preop/current/goal weights I wish I could be more creative. Where's Cindy Snyder?!?! She always has great questions! Have a great weekend all! Love, Jacinda

Ok...here are my answers... 1. What is your favorite food right now. Strawberries! I eat them at least once everyday. Sometimes I warm up some lowfat cream cheese and mix in splenda and eat them with that. Sometimes I use a little sf vanilla or strawberry ice cream. Either way, Yum Yum Yum! 2. Have you had a problem with hair loss since surgery? I have had a lot of hair loss for about 2 mos now. For a long time I though this was no big deal (except for the mess) because I had annoyingly thick hair anyway. However, I pulled my hair back into a ponytail the other day and low and behold, I had a bald spot on the side of my head! No more ponytails for a while! 3. Stats.... Preop/current/goal weights You won't believe this. After just 5 mos, here are my stats... 225/155/130 For those who are math challenged like myself, that is 70lbs lost in 5 mos! This surgery is truly a miracle. I feel great! Later Gang!

Jac, I bet you look great too!! Anyway, good morning everyone! We are headed down to Jacksonville FL today. My mom is flying in to spend the weekend with us. My oldest daughter, Kat, turns 13 tomorrow and Grandma has never missed one of her birthdays and in her words "she isn't going to start now." We can't wait to see her. She flies out at 6:00 am central time this morning (she lives in Arkansas). Anyway, as for the QOD: 1. Well, I don't really have a favorite food right now. I have always loved pasta and probably always will. Since I am three years out I can pretty much eat anything. 2. Yes, I had the hair loss. I didn't have any bald spots but I had the hair loss. 3. 317/181/175. I gained weight over the holidays and am having a really hard time getting them back off and keeping them off. Everyone have a blessed weekend!! Shel

Happy Friday I thank God that its Friday! This has been a crazy week for me here at work and I am glad to be able to get on board for a change. Hope everyone has wonderful day and weekend! QOD: 1. What is your favorite food right now. My favorite foods keep changing: As of yesterday morning it was grapes but last night I decided to try my own homemade tossed salad w/grilled chicken, boiled eggs and all types of seasonings and it was delicious. So good, that I had it for breakfast. So right now, I think my favorite is salad until tomorrow I try something else. 2. Have you had a problem with hair loss since surgery? Nope, not yet! 3. Stats.... Preop/current/goal weights 338/280/175 JaNae

Hey All~ Things are going well for me. The scale hadn't moved in weeks which was a bit discouraging, but then I lost 4 pounds! So, that gave me a boost in spirits. It's amazing how I can become a SLAVE to the scale. It's also amazing (boys...don't read if you get easily yucked out) that when I am PMS'ing I can eat like a HORSE!! I mean to tell ya, where did THIS come from??? Anyhoo: Here are my answers 1. What is your favorite food right now. PICKLES! Yep, they are worthless, no good and empty. But, I CRAVE them like a crazy woman. Weird huh? 2. Have you had a problem with hair loss since surgery? Not yet and I am worried b/c I don't have a lot of hair and I can't take in much protein. 3. Stats.... Preop/current/goal weights 308/255/150 Blessings~ Becky

Good morning Jacinda and all! I'm also glad its the weekend again. QOD 1. Right now I generally have chili beans with cheese for evening meal or else a one egg omlet or about half a tv dinner. I don't know that there is a favorite at this point. 2. Not too much hair loss yet. 3. stats : 243/194/138 Hope everyone has a great weekend.

Hi Jacinda~ Yeah, it's Friday!!! Oh, wait, I don't work...everyday is Saturday for me!! I am happy. I joined the gym. I am working my tail off. In two days I lost 3 more pounds. Woohoo. Also, the cd I ordered from the bible book store came in today. It's the solo I am going to sing on March 5th. I was starting to worry that I wouldn't have time to practice it. QOD: 1: Anything Chicken. "Ken's" has a new buffalo chicken dressing/marinade. That tastes really good over chicken with a little bit of part skim mozzarella. 2: Not yet, thank God. I have very thin hair so I hope that I will be lucky. 3: 321/283/170ish (38 pounds lost in 6 weeks) Love, Dawn

Hi everyone! Hope you are having a great Friday...almost the weekend!! Here are my answers...#1 My favorite food right now is homemade chicken noodle soup. Have been eating on it for 3 days! #2 I've had nearly NO hair for a number of years( a family thing), so I wear wigs. Nobody ever knows unless I tell them, so when and if I loose the rest of the hair, than oh well!! I rarely have a bad hair day, it's great!! Stats...246/221/135.
