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!

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
