  2. Can't do 5 words or less! It has been a rush! Totally Happy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  3. Why can't you have coffee? Man I love those caramel light frapps from starbucks!
  4. About the hair thing.....I never lost hair in fact my hair grew like crazy 'cause of all the protien and vitamins and all that water!
  5. I was never told that, in fact I was put on the "straw diet" for 4 weeks after surgery. The straw diet is anything that can fit through a straw! I'm over a year out, and I have never even thought about it.
  6. I eat potatoes all the time, but I put fat free sour cream ......2 tbs. is 20 calories.......great comfort food! I also, (when I feel snacky) take a boulion cube, put it in a coffee cup, heat, pour a little instant mashed potatoe, tobasco, and a dollop of ff sour cream.....yum! I have usually 2 and it takes that edge off just fine.

  8. Yeah, really checking out the BMI's is something.........I have lost 67 pounds, but I think the bmi scale says it all. Mine says "no longer obese" just overweight! I have gotten very addicted to reading them....after all that is what they judge on you for insurance and whatnot!
  9. that is because you "rock it sista"!
  10. Every scale at some point or another needs to be "recalibrated"...matters not if it is digital or balanced. Every scale will be different and it matters not....pick your lowest weight on any scale and go with that...less stress, and it makes you feel better. Also don't weigh every day.... stay with the lowest weight on any scale until you feel good enough to step on the other scale....Funny sounding, but it worked for me.
  11. I'll say platues suck alright! I was on one for 3 months, but I went down 3 pant sizes during those months, so really the body does not like being jacked with, i think of it as a delayed reaction to a joke, (a really quick witted joke) the point between saying it and the moment the person laughs....such as "why does the Avon lady walk funny?"......"Because her lipstick"! Get it? that is kinda what the body is during a platue.....thinking about it! Now I don't know if this analogy will help you, (pause) but I hope so......P.S. Always follow the rules( i knew you knew that)!
  12. Sooooooo true my friend!
  13. I drink Budwiser 55 when I'm out having fun, and I'm fine with it.....you just can't guzzle, you have to sip. That in itself is a milestone for me, cause I used to guzzle everything (except champagne, that will come out your nose if you guzzle)!
  14. I like that I fit in a size 14, and not a size 22, and I don't have a jelly roll anymore!
  15. Well, I have not lost anything, but I did reach my personal goal, and that was to find a job! Yeah me!
