Found ths pic of me at my heaviest just took the other. Down 82lbs approx. looking forward to loosing the last 40. Stalling out but exercising has been hard with going back to work and taking care of my grandma but I will succeed I will not succumb to negative ideas and low self esteem again!

The skin situation is ok right now, but i still have about 40 lbs to my goal weight. I'm 5'8 192lbs... Been in the 190's forever...lol

I am 5 months post op. I was 230 and now I'm 156. I am so close to my goal I can taste it.

I really want grilled scallops with home made Alfrado sauce and angel hair Pasta
Surgery Anniversary 7/30/12

There is a post here for taco Soup which was good and easy but mine came out more like a chili.

Homemade Soups are really much easier than you think - and lots healthier! Basically you could make a good chicken soup by browning some chicken pieces, adding onion, garlic, some carrots and celery and broth.< /p>
You could do the same thing with veggies but add tomatoes and green Beans and beef if wanted.
If you don't want to do all that, low sodium soup would be a good option but just remember things like low sodium soup and lunch meats are still actually high so shouldn't be done every day!
Good luck with cutting breads out, I would kill for some bread right now!

I started this process in January!
Got my date today

So excited.

Sorry to hear who you work for Lady K. Hope you dont have to finger print much freight it is good exersice. But you have to deal with Union grocery wharehoues employes again sorry did that don't ever want to do that again would rather go though RNY again. After 35 years in a big truck I'm ready to give it up but I got a great paying some what local driving job working for a non union over night company the money is to good to give up. And I'm 7 years 348 days 12 hours way from retirement give me a min and I can get that down to the seconds for you
If you like who you work for thats all that matters
The only advise I can give is ( You can always change the company you work for but the crap still taste the same no matter where you go)
Be happy and keep lossing the weight

It's difficult to leave a situation you've grown comfortable in...especially a marriage. Your reasons for wanting to leave are certainly valid and pretty much a must at this point. He sounds manipulative, angry, and for you and your children to have to put up with that kind of verbal abuse is not good. It's not good for you or your kids. I think you need to try and get out as fast as possible for you and your children's safety. Like others have said, are there any shelters out there for you and your kids? If you can't find it in yourself to leave now (because it is a big step and it is scary) then I suggest you look into seeing a social worker or a psychologist who can help you get back on your feet. It's important to put yourself and your kids first now. This isn't a marriage that has gone sour, but a marriage that has gone completely toxic. Hang in there hun...take care of yourself. ::hugs::
