    My husband and I are very blessed. We have a wonderful relationship and Completely attribute it to our strong faith. I do not consider ourselves wealthy money wise, but our lives are so rich with love, harmony, happiness, and peace. I think that if I didn't go to church, didn't believe in God, and if I was an ugly hateful person... my life would be horrible. That is what stands true for me.

    I know MANY wealthy people that are not Christian like and I wouldn't want to be like them for anything.

    OK.... drum roll please..... I am now officially 80 pounds down since surgery!

    I am also wearing my jeans from high school today... my "skinny" jeans... The size I am now is the smallest that I can ever remember being... Shoot, by the time I hit my one year mark, I might almost look like a model ;)

    Actually, there's nothing wrong with almonds. I just felt like being bad.

    Almonds are an excellent source (at least 20% DV) of high-quality Protein, Vitamin E, magnesium, and unsaturated fat, as well as a good source (10 to 19% DV) of Calcium, Fiber, and phosphorus. They also supply manganese, Vitamin B6, and arginine — all without any cholesterol. For specific nutrient statistics, visit the Nutrition links below and check the latest numbers from the USDA.

    I think nuts are a GREAT snack ;) !!!

    I love Smackin on some nuts!

    I am not stupid, just struggeling very hard and frustrated with the failure.

    Melanie!!! I don't see failure... I see someone working hard!

    I am not concentrating on the scale right now since I am working out more now. My clothes are sure getting looser though! I am on week 4 of my gym membership and started to reep the Non scale benefits already!

    HANG IN THERE!!!!:)

    A bloke sees a sign in front of a house: "Talking Dog for Sale." He rings the bell and the owner tells him the dog is in the back garden.

    The bloke goes into the backyard and sees a black mutt just sitting there.

    "You talk?" he asks.

    "Sure do," the dog replies.

    "So, what's your story?"

    The dog looks up and says, "Well, I discovered my gift of talking pretty young and I wanted to help the government, so I told MI5 about my gift, and in no time they had me jetting from country to country, sitting in rooms with spies and world leaders, because no one figured a dog would be eavesdropping.

    I was one of their most valuable spies eight ! years running."

    "The jetting around really tired me out, and I knew I wasn't getting any younger and I wanted to settle down. So I signed up for a job at the airport to do some undercover security work, mostly wandering near suspicious characters and listening in.

    I uncovered some incredible dealings there and was awarded loads of medals. Had a wife, a few puppies, and now I'm just retired."

    The bloke is amazed. He goes back in and asks the owner what he wants for the dog.

    The owner says, "Ten quid."

    The bloke says, 'This dog is amazing. Why on earth are you selling him so cheap?"

    "Cause he's a liar. He's never done any of that stuff."

    A woman went up to the bar in a quiet rural pub...

    She gestured alluringly to the bartender who approached her immediately.

    She seductively signaled that he should bring his face closer to hers.

    As he did, she gently caressed his full beard.

    "Are you the manager?" she asked, softly stroking his face with both hands.

    "Actually, no," he replied.

    "Can you get him for me? I need to speak to him," she said, running her

    hands beyond his beard and into his hair.

    "I'm afraid I can't," breathed the bartender. "Is there anything I can do?"

    "Yes. I need for you to give him a message," she continued, running her

    forefinger across the bartender's lip and slyly popping a couple of her fingers into his mouth and allowing him to suck them gently.

    "What should I tell him?" the bartender managed to say.

    "Tell him," she whispered,

    "There's no toilet paper, hand soap, or paper towels in the ladies room.

    A business man got on an elevator. When he entered, there

    was a blonde already inside who greeted him with a bright,

    "T-G-I-F."

    He smiled at her and replied, "S-H-I-T."

    She looked puzzled, and repeated, "T-G-I-F," more slowly.

    He again answered, "S-H-I-T."

    The blonde was trying to keep it friendly, so, she smiled her

    biggest smile and said as sweetly as possibly, "T-G-I-F."

    The man smiled back to her and once again, "S-H-I-T."

    The exasperated blonde finally decided to explain,

    "'T-G-I-F' means 'Thank Goodness It's Friday.' Get it duuhhh?"

    The man answered, "'S-H-I-T' means "Sorry, Honey, It's Thursday."

    As I sit here at my desk I feel like a million bucks. I love the way my heart feels, I love the way I don't run out of breath...

    BUT, I still look at myself as a 365 lb fat girl! I look in the mirror and see the same person that has always been there. I can't tell that there is 115 lbs gone.

    I love my body, but I don't "SEE" it. Until, like Donna said.... I see a picture.

    I am definitely not scared of getting skinny, but I just don't see that when I look in a mirror.

    This is a great thread, really made me think for a minute!
