What's on your Friday menu RNYers? Photo Friday!

Happy Friday! I was looking forward to the end of the week, but we still have Tropical storm Jose (day 3 I think) so it is pretty gloomy here. Pic is of a memorial to a young woman who was a 9/11 victim located across the street from Nobska lighthouse in Falmouth Ma. It is one of the most beautiful spots in town.

QOTD: I didn't become overweight until I was around 15. I went into adolescence early (for that time) around age 11, so by the time I was 15 I was rounding out a bit. Not too bad, but my eldest daughter was born when I was 17 and after that I gained quite a bit and started the up/down weight cycles which continued until 1.5 years ago (so basically for 43+ years). Each up was higher than the previous one of course.

1.5 years post-op (maintenance). 35 work days to retirement (11/13).

B: eggbeaters, cottage cheese and Canadian bacon

L: deli meat and cheese (I think - on the road)

D: something protein forward with veggies (out to dinner with DD)

S: string cheese, English muffin/peanut butter

Really poignant and yet calming picture...very nice AND YaAaaay only 35 more working days until retirement!!! Yaaaaay

Howdy,

QOTD: I started getting chunky but not fat at around 10 years old. It really took off in my early 20's when I partied and drank too much. I think I weighed around 240 when I was 24. Then after a few babies, I hit the 300's. At age 37, I was about 330's. I dropped down to 270 on Atkins and then ballooned back up to 340 before getting a lapband.
