Haha I lost 368 remotes

I've had it twice...but I plan for it and save my carbs and calories. It is by no means a free treat. I got meat and veggie, ate the toppings and half of the crust of one small piece.

Low fat cottage cheese...ate that and protein drinks for my 20 day preop. I ate so much of it I can't stand cottage cheese now lol...high protein though!

I slice a cucumber, mini sweet peppers, and throw some baby carrots in a baggie...usually make up four at a time. Then I mix a spicy ranch seasoning packet with some fat free sour cream for a dip. I found these little two tablespoon containers and measure out the dip so I can grab and go. Quaker sweet chili mini rice cakes are good when I want crunch. I always have a cranberry almond protein bar in my purse in case I get caught out somewhere so I won't be tempted to eat something I shouldn't. Oh, and always have 2% string cheese on hand...great snack for 50 calories

I got on a ride at the fair with my new son last week and I fit! Haven't been on a ride in 15 yrs...? I also went fishing this weekend and fit comfortable in one of those pop out fabric chairs

I've never had it before. Does it taste more bean or nutty?

I wanted to hit 100 by 6 months but I'm definately not complaining about 90 lbs! Very proud of myself

Thanks I got the necklace and earrings at Payless Shoes for three bucks lol

congrats! my 6 month surgiversary is today and I just posted pics... i'm down 90 lbs. congrats to our success!

I take my chocolate premiere protein, mix with a cup of coffee, a Splenda, and a splash of Torani SF vanilla bean syrup over ice every morning...mmm mmm.

Ok, so its not exactly how it sounds but Friday I will finally become a mom... and it's a boy! I have been trying to adopt for over a year and he is coming to live with me this weekend. After four months of rushed evening visits and having to take him back after a weekend stay, he is finally coming home for good. This was one of the reasons I had the surgery--so that I could be a healthy and active mom. I still have a ways to go, but I feel better than I have in many many years. These last months have been life changing, and the surgery was the best thing I could have ever done for myself!

I would ask your dr or nutritionist. Off the top of my head I'm going to guess the cheese has more fat and calories..would get more bang for your buck with a lean protein. Ask about low fat cottage cheese...its good with salad or fruit and high protein. My 20 day preop consisted of protein drinks or cottage cheese with broth, SF jello or popsicles. I ate it so much in those 20 days I won't touch it with a 10 foot pole now lol.

Well all went good. Just got him in bed and this new momma is gonna take a hot bath lol. I didn't realize he had so much stuff. Getting those four xl tubs and a big bike in the back of my Exterra took some creative packing. I'm glad we've been bringing stuff home over the last few weekends because we would have had to make another trip down there to get another load. Placement is Monday, so I will have another inspection and a whole slew of caseworkers in my house. That will take a few hours, then we are going over to register him for school. He is very nervous about a new school but I keep telling him he is going to do great!

He turned 14 last Saturday. He is such a blessing and has such a big heart. We had a big party for him and my whole family got to come (they live out of state) and meet him. My sister and her husband have adopted five, so my family is very supportive has welcomed each with open arms. Most people think I'm nuts adopting as a single mom, and absolutely crazy for adopting a teenager with special needs but every child needs a family. It breaks my heart to see kids age out of the system with no one to turn to. I tell people no potty training, no diapers...I get to go straight to the good stuff

It's uncomfortable enough when you get a piece of bread balled up... I can't imagine trying to swallow a wad of sticky marshmallow. If your gonna eat the marshmallow then go for the graham cracker also to give it some traction going down lol

I didn't take my overlay off but my toenails were bare. I was however asked to take my uh, jewelry out lol.

6 months of managed weight loss isn't for nothing... every lb you lose is one more closer to your goal!

I tried looking you up on FB but but it pulled up a lot of Kristie's lol I'm going to post some new pics on my profile here in my album.
