Good Morning. Welcome to all the lurkers, newbies and not so newbies

 Good Morning,
Long time no post!!!! I have been absent because I have been super busy with work.
6 month surgiversary today! Love my Sleeve, lost a total of 62 pounds so far!
I have to admit, I do have a little sweet everyday, because I have never believed in denying myself. But I know that it is not necessary to have an entire bag of dark chocolate kisses, when just one is sufficient!
For the most part that, not hungry for it and that works for me!
I love to give the kids handfuls so it doesn't stay around the house! (although this makes me feel guilty because it may contribute to their problems later, but hey , leave that to their parents to teach them proper eating habits)

I am a lurker--late reporting in--busy day yesterday.

I post occasionally and love the LW board.  I am five years out and working every day to keep out 120 pounds.  I have posted  that I am facing a prolapse uterus problem.  I am not exercising a lot now.  I usually walk two miles a day, but that is about all I can do for now.  I am to have a 'repair' for my problem in two weeks.

I am married with grown children and grandkids.

hi Ruby,
sorry about ur prolapse uterus what are they doing to fix the problem? one of my friends had something to put up there to help some kind of "donut" hope all will be well for u and congrad on ur steady 120 pds

I am having an anterior vaginal repair.  You can google if you care for the details.  I have been on my feet all day cleaning house.  I am really uncomfortable.

Thanks for the encouraging words.  I plan to really take it easy after the procedure.  I usually push myself too much after surgery.  I did that after my plastics and caused myself some problems.  I intend to do better this time.

Congrads on your success.

Ruby

Ginaaaaaa,
my most favorite candy of them all has to be mounds
mmmmmm chocolate and coconut. butttttt i made dh pick up halloween pretzels and halloween cheese curls so no candy in my home. im so excited im not working i usually am every halloween and i miss out on the children so im dressing up along with my dog Lucy and ill sit outside all day sunday and give out the treats

 Good morning!

I'm a drive -by as I need to go out of town this morning for work.  I'll be back tomorrow night so won't be gone long.

No candy here.  I live in a condo with very few children so I'll just give them money instead.  There's not enough to go buy bubbles or play doh.  I have heard that Costco has Halloween bags of small playdoh.  

My office is about like always.  Not too much candy.  I have a Weigh****chers leader in my office and she keeps a bowl of 1 point candy bars.  If I'm really feeling the urge for something sweet, I'll eat one and that does the trick.  I try to keep it to a couple times a week and not daily or multiple times a day.  Luckily I would get embarrassed if I went back more than a couple times a week.

Gotta run, I'll check in tonight if the hotel computer is working.  Have a great day!

Ha...ya, smarties are my FAVORITE!!!! Don't bring them in the house!! I can stare at chocolate candies all freakin day but smarties....oh it's on. 

Going in for RNY 9 month post op visit...late I know...but better than not going. I can't believe that I am at 10 months now. Insane. I am 132 and this time last August I peaked at 230's...WOW. I want to see 125 so I am going back to basics and see if I can get there by my 1 year mark. So in order to do that I have to be real good over the holidays....NO CANDY :)

It's nice to meet the newbies :) welcome. This is the best place around OH!!! Period. 

Have a great day...

So far,  I have been able to avoid all Halloween candy and cookies but we have 5 days to go.  Positive thinking!

I'm a chocoholic and I'm afraid if I buy it, it will call my name.  So I'm not buying it until this weekend.  I really want to buy the crappy kind that no one likes, but I won't.

I've learned to buy the candy the day before beggars night... works in my favor some times and some times NOT -- last year I had to scrounge the icky Wal-Mart near my house for bags of ick to hand out. 

Not having a good week and the Snickers on my neighbor's desk are calling my name...
