Hmmm not sure how to do that Cindy. Maybe we have a computer wizard that will give us a hand with that. It would be cool to use it each day. Not sure how. I'm glad you enjoy it :)

Remember that old song?

Ok....my Christmas goal is 36 pounds by Christmas, which should put me maybe in a Winter One-derland.

I will go to sleep tonight and have sugar-free fairies dancing in my head while I contemplate that wonderful thought.

According to some researchers and historians, Jesus was actually born on April 17, in the year 6BC.

Before anyone calls me an atheist or worse, please realize that the December 25th date to Celebrate Christmas was set by Constantine, the emperor of the Roman Empire about 325AD. He did it because he had declared that all Romans would become Christians and since the Romans were already celebrating a pagan holiday on December 25th (the god Saturn), it was easier to just change the name of the holiday gradually.

Historians say that the reason that Joseph and Mary were going to Bethlehem was to be counted in a census as degreed by the Roman Emperor. The only two censuses taken in that era were in 6BC and 6AD. Herod was not alive in 6AD, so it must have been 6BC. The 3 wise men saw a celestial event which led them to the manger and that took place on April 17, 6BC.

Wow! Looks like everyone's doing great toward their goals for Christmas Wishes!

Anyone doing any shopping?

Does this count? I have decided what to get my nephew... he is graduating from college this year, so he needs a nice suit for job interviews, so we're all going together to get him a gift certificate for somewhere, so he can get a suit...I feel like I have already crossed that name off my mental list...and can't wait to see him in that suit!

Hi gang,

I was hunting around to see where Funny had gone (I miss her posts too!), and found this wonderful thread. Hope she's back soon!

I am the Christmas & Easter Queen in our family - I just love, love, love celebrating our saviour and His love with my family and friends.

I've started shopping, but haven't set any weight goals yet. I'll think about this once I have had my op and am moving through the recovery.

Cheers!

Weeehaaa! Here I go!

I was banded last Tuesday (8/15) and the bathroom scales read that I am down 13.

We'll see where I land when I start with solids, but I'm getting there!

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
