Same to y'all. All i knew is "l'shana tovah." Live and learn. I am non-religious Jewish and treasure my heritage as a history and a culture.

@@proudgrammy, 111 lbs and 99 lbs, respectively, of schmaltz gone?

Lol. I'm an Italian Catholic girl raised in an Orthodox setting. My Mother has been the administrator of a synagogue since I was a little girl (I'm 50 now)-we've taken to celebrating Passover, Sukkot, Purim and Hannukah- now with my children as well. The High Holidays are a part of it[emoji4].

Sounds crazy, but it's just how we roll.

silly head

i was referring to the "writer" of this thread @@LisaMergs

look to her profile left of her pic

it says weight loss..............

she wrote in 111 lbs!!!

i was commenting on HER wonderful weight loss

then saying congrats!!

sorry if i wasn't clear

hope no one else was scratching their heads

i am 2 months shy of 5 years po

at the end of my first year PO

i reached my goal losing 105 lbs

past couple of months i have crept

up/fluctuated about 6 lbs

that's why my ticker says 99 lbs lost, 6 lbs OVER GOAL

it's been hard for me to lose those lbs now

i WILL lose it though

don't/can't let 6 turn to 8 then 10lbs then.............

@@WLSResources/ClothingExch - status you said

Q: "Why does the lapband fail?" A: Because it doesn't study....

@@proudgrammy Kathy, you referred to Lisa and i referred to both of you, hence, the 111 and the 99. Two odd numbers, huh? You'll get your goal. You're that kind of woman.

@@LisaMergs, it doesn't sound crazy at all. There are many aspects that anyone can relate to. Let's not forget the fun parts, either. I'm glad I never liked latkes to the point of refusing to eat them as a kid. (I found out several years ago when making a vegetable pie with a grated-potato crust that it's the texture of grated potato that's the turn-off.) I'd eat only the applesauce and sour cream, still a treat to me.

Not all noodle kugels are created equal, but a bissel of a good one is one of the reasons to live. L'chaim!

(@@LisaMergs, no doubt about yours here.)

[Inner Surfer Girl 12,015]

I almost bought a pomegranate at Aldi's the other day. I am not quite sure how to eat one!

L'shanah tovah umetukah! Wishing everyone here the continued strength to do what is best for our future health, and many moments of happiness in the coming year.
