Topic: how's you doing
How are we all getting on.  Haven't heard from some of you in a while so it would be nice to hear from you all again.
I have started losing again so I am really happy about that and I am on solids total loss since surgery is 12kg which is about 26-27lb I think

At least this year we will not be eating all our eggs in one sitting  LOL
My egg that dear husband bought for me I have only opened on little packet of the  chocolate and that took me 2 days to eat.  Last year the whole thing would have been gone by breakfast.
Happy holidays to all this weekend. and Next week we have a wedding happening in the UK!! more holidays WooHoo

Topic: RE: Easy too Make and so Yummy!!
That sounds delicious.  I think I'll make that when my father-in-law is in town.  I can put it in the crock pot before I go to work, and VOILA, my dinner is ready when I get home from work.
Thanks for sharing!

Topic: RE: nuts
I've been to a few NUTS and have yet to see one that had anything productive to say. It's the handout and any questions, most of the appointment typing in their reports thatshould be done ontheir own time and yes .....always having to remind them of which surgery you have had. I'm thinking about becoming one.........hear the pay is pretty good for what you do. j/k
