What's is on your menu today (Monday) RNYers?

Great picture! Glad that Lily could be part of the family picture!

Great picture, Karen! I don't think I'd ever seen a picture of your husband or son before and of course, I love it that Lily was in the picture, too.

She did really good too. We encouraged one of the members to bring her dog too. She lost her husband last year and her dog,Bailey is with her all the time. Bailey did good for her picture too. When oldest son saw the pics--he's down here visiting for the week from Minneapolis--his comment was looks like I've been replaced. For this directory I weighed 167 pounds less than I did last directory. That's pretty amazing! In fact we didn't have a family pic in the last one. We had an appointment but I got "sick". I just really didn't want a picture in it. Guess thats why there are only 2 before pics of me. They made me take an individual one at the piano since I'm the pianist. I wore black and it was still depressing.

I remember the days when any excuse was good to not be part of a pic. Wow, you have lost a whole adult person...167 lbs!!! Congrats. You look so skinny in your pics that I can't even imagine you being overweight.

I was obese most of my life,even as a child. I really didn't ever expect to be a normal weight--much less stay there for 5 years.

And here's a before picture!

Wow, doesn't seem like the same person.

Did DH have WLS too? He seems to have transformed a bit as well?

No he hasn't but since he eats mostly what I cook for me he's lost weight and his a1c is much lower.

Love the pic.
