Springtime 2015

Hello Lapbanders,

Well my weight is finally lower than its been since the 1990's. My journey has not been a straight line but instead a total focus or not :-(.

This last total focus period started in October 2014 when I did a Meltdown Challenge to lose 6% in 6 weeks. It had daily activities that you had to do to earn the points you needed plus losing the 6%. I was one of about 20 out of 150 that reached the points and weight loss goal.

I was able to maintain that loss through the holidays. Then in February I joined a group Danny Cahill had. He gave us a grocery list and diet to follow. Lots of fresh foods and healthy cooking. With this I have lost even more and have found I enjoy shopping for and preparing my own food.

I'm not sure how to move to the next stage now. I'm getting bored with the same menu each week since February. I would love to find a healthy cooking class to teach me more simple, nutritious and low calorie recipes. There is lots of recipes on the internet but I'm overwhelmed with all that.

Any suggestions?

Good Journey all!

~Psalms 23:1-6~

The LORD is my Shepherd, I shall not  want.
He makes me lie down in green pastures,
He leads me beside quiet waters, He restores my soul.
He guides me in paths of righteousness for His name's sake.
Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,
I will fear no evil, for You are with me;
Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me.
You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies.
You anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows.
Surely goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life,
And I will dwell in the house of the LORD forever.
