Yum...I am not sure I have had brisket cooked like that.... Sounds great. Merry Christmas.

Congratulations!

Great job! This was my first holiday season at goal also. I must admit I was a little nervious with all the cooking and baking but it was really ok. I also love my band. I had a wonderful meal both Christmas Eve and Christmas Day and didn't over eat. I love my band and the control it gives me! Happy New Year, cheers to all of us who are making this life style change work!

You know I was so set not to have any control but the band just wasn't letting it happen.

Thanks AJ... Not cooking anymore today...did brunch this morning and since we did last night for family later this afternoon we are headed to close friends for their dinner... They usually have a small group of 40. We go every year. LOL I am bringing desserts this year since I wasn't sure what I would be up for... And Publix baked the cheesecakes and a local bakery does awesome goodies so I cheated and bought my offering. Yesterday and this morning took a lot out of me so I have been banished to the couch while MIL and daughters clean up and hubby and his Dad watch the baby. Of course she is napping to they lucked out. LOL. I keep forgetting I am just a week out of surgery...and have a 15" scar across my hips....

Wonderful sounding menu. Have a wonderful day and enjoy the baby.

Congratulations on such positive control. I did this during Thanksgiving time this year. Merry Christmas

That sounds YUMMY!! Happy you had a great time!! Merry Christmas Floridays!

It's funny how our perception differs from others. I definitely understand how you feel. I was smaller when I was younger, and people would say I look good, ect. I didn't believe it. Stress, ect caused me to gain weight, and now I'm trying to get healthy and learn to love myself like I should be loved. We have to learn to love ourselves. It's nice to see that she gave you motivation to start building your positive attitude. You'll get there.

Congrats!!
