Sherry..

you're such an inspiration for me! I started 5 lbs lighter than you so its

nice to see what you've done in 8 months!! I would be estatic to be out of

the 300's in the near future. I've unofficially lost 55 lbs...I'll go weigh

next week but I do it at home with two scales..its not accurate but I can

tell I've lost as the numbers get smaller...LOL

And it wasnt that long ago you thought you were not doing well....See!!!

You're doing great!!!

Where is Lake Marcel??? I'm meeting Judie at Alderwood on the 13th...you

should join us!!! I'd love to meet !!!

Judie??? Or earlier...I'm totally open that day as I'm going to meet my ex's

sister and give her my son for the day and then shop till I drop...then she

has some clothes from the brand Weekenders that she is saving so I'll check

them out! So if another time works...let us know...maybe that will work for

everyone!

Hey, what's wrong with chips? No sugar in chips, just fat and

veggies?

(whose favorite junk food is potato chips for now)

,

Potato chips are high in startch and are easy to digest (even with a

small stomach) and they are prime suspects when a barriatric

procedure fails. You can munch on chips all day and consume

thousands of calories without feeling full. Also chips lack protien

and have excessive sodium content (unless you by unsalted chips).

Deanna,

Trader Joe's has soy chips that have soy protein in them. Not oodles

(maybe 14 g per bagfull), mind you, but at least some. And they

taste good, too. There's a cheddar and a BBQ flavor. --Steve

Hi,

I will divulge my secret where chips are concerned! I LOVE chips and dip!!

So too not feel guilty and yet still get to consume chips and dip, I take

chip dip and add extra protien powder. Unflavored, obviously! By eating the

chips with dip I cannot eat as many and I am getting lots of protien in the

dip! Where there is a will there is a way!!
