I went to Avenue with my Sister Friday night. Grabbed a size 18 jeans they were too big. Tried on a 16 again too big. Drum roll...SIZE 14!! 3 months out 60+ pounds gone forever and I went down from a size 20 to a 14. Happy, happy, joy, joy!

58 lbs gone forever!!! 42 lbs to goal!!!

56 lbs lost in 3 months?!...I'll take it. I feel absolutely wonderful and am looking forward to meeting my goal (100 lbs lost by April 2012...prayerfully).

Had a wonderful Thanksgiving! Ate what I wanted and as much as I wanted - which wasn't much. And as alway, enjoyed my family!

OMG!!! Just realized I haven't taken my Calcium Citrate for 2 weeks!!!

Question: Has anybody seen my appetite? It's been missing for a week.

So far I've had 40 oz of fluids and 37 grams of protein and it's not even lunch time! Yay me!!!

Is it just me or is it impossible to add a comment to someone's blog?! UUGGHH!!

I'm trying so hard but I just can't get used to the taste of Splenda. However, I'm not willing to waste 15 calories on a teaspoon of sugar. Oh well...Splenda it is - YIKES!

Thank God for new beginnings! I'm looking forward to what this day brings. Here's wishing everybody a Terrific Tuesday!

Just had a cup of 3 bean meatless chili and I'm sure I ate it much too fast but it was DELICIOUS!! Oh my goodness!! Now all I need is a nap!

Uh oh! I think I may have activated the carb gene. I went to Olive Garden this weekend with the girls. I ate a stuffed mushroom (bread crumbs and parmesain). Now I'm thinking of all kinds of carbs I would love to have right about now. Ummm... sourdough bread. Don't worry, I won't indulge.

Question: Are you counting your protein shake toward your daily fluid intake?

Just not motivated today...

Since having surgery do you find that everythng is either too salty or too sweet? My taste buds are on overdrive. It makes me not wanna eat anything!

Hey Darlin! How are you?

Hey! I thought I sent you a message - LOL. How are you this fine day? It's a little rainy but I am in a terrific mood (as always - PRAISE GOD). Have a great day!

Question: do you think it's possible to tak in too much protein?

I'm so ready to start exercising. Maybe I'll start off slow on the treadmill. And I'll be careful. I'm 17 days post-op and going stir crazy. My doctor said he'll let me know when I can start at my 1 month appointment. UGH!!!

Is anybody else exhausted! I am having the hardest time keeping my eyes open. Guess I'll be taking a nap at lunch today - LOL

Howdy! Just saying hi. Hope all is well.

Hey Darlin, just checking in to see how you're making out.

Good morning. The scale has not moved in 4 days!!! I know, I know...it's too soon to panic but... Woosah

Good morning! Here's wishing you all a wonderful day. Just 2 really quick things: (1) slight heart burn today. The first time since surgery (9/20); and (2) I AM STARVING!!!!! I'm actually looking forward to drinking my protein shake this morning. Now that should tell you something - LOL

Good morning VST Family. Well...today is my first day back to work after 2 weeks off. This should be interesting. Since surgery 9/20, I'm down 30 lbs. Let's see if anyone notices.
