:woohoo: Awesome job Denise. I tried your salsa tonight - wow! That was great and really hit the spot.

Denise-
My mom and I made the salsa tonight and it was wonderful. It tasted just like the stuff you get at the mexican resturants!!!

Awsome job on the weight loss your such an inspiration.:bravo:

I think I finally figured out how to do a before and after.
Neither picture is great, but at least you can see the weight loss

snflrgrl1962 I'm not going to lie...you look FABULOUS!!! Great job on the pictures...can you teach us...:)

THAT - sounds absolutely sinful (and delicious) We don't even have Brahms here, but I do know of it.
You look amazing! Can really see the difference.

WOW what a difference, congrats!

Look at your legs, Sharon! They are so lean! You look terrific--I know you are proud of yourself!

I made it tonight too!!! Did you use a blender? I have a food processor but I didn't feel like getting it out of storage so I just used my blender, it still turned out good but less chunky then I would like. I made steak and cut the steak into strips to eat with the tortilla and salsa, kinda like a steak fajita, yum yum!!

I could have eaten 4 ounces of just the salsa but limited myself to just 2 ounces and choked down 2 ounces of frozen green beans lol.

Snfrgrl - you look great, thanks for sharing the pics!

Congrats on everyone's weight losses, I love hearing about them, you all help me to stay on track!!!!

I leave for Alaska in one week - I'm super nervous about gaining weight while I'm over there. I'll be eating out a lot, but also my mom and my dad will be cooking for me, and they don't exactly cook very healthy, especially my dad. The center said to come in right before I leave and they will give me some tips on what to do while I'm there, and I've gotten a lot of tips from you guys.

Oh, how this brings back memories "mini me". It seems like after I signed the 120 lb board, the weight just fell off. You are the incredible shinking woman! Congrats, your inner strength is awe-inspiring. :yoga:
Hope to see less of you at one of the classes this week.
BTW, I think I'm running out of that fat burning water they serve us at the Greeley center. ;)

Your before and after pics are inspirational!!! Keep up the great work! :encore:

Sharon, Great Job, you look fabulous!!!

Denise - your disappearing, congratulations......

Okay I have something odd going on here. On Thursday my home scale was reading 156 morning WI, I had a steady loss up until Friday WI at the center where I suddenly shot back up to 160, I noticed it first at my morning home WI when it was 158, it's now 161. I started friday upping my B6 thinking I was retaining water for some reason but it continued to rise. Can B6 cause you to ever retain water rather then flush. I can tell it's water the way I ache when I wake up and my rings are fitting snug. It is not TOM, what's wrong, I do not use salt and only cook low sodium foods. Bland yes but don't want the water weight. My water intake has been 8-10 a day.

Greeley Folks - Please send water:^:

Have a great OP day everyone.

You look great!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :carrot::carrot:

Most definitely you can see the difference! You look great!! And you know I'm loving the background in the pic on the left (& your daughter is lovely!) - and your husband's (I'm assuming it's your husband) hat looks VERY familiar! ;) I am both excited AND nervous about the upcoming season - don't much like going into it rated SO high!

WOW Sharon ..... love your pics!!! What a change, I'm so happy for you!!

Both dietdirect and bariatricchoice (the same company I believe) have the powdered shakes on sale this week for 11.95 per box (regularly 25 a box I think) While I like them, I don't use them anymore -- something about the 23 carbs slowed me down instead of helped. I asked the center about that (when I was using theirs), they didn't seem to think it was an issue, but I still do.

Happy Monday ... my camping weekend set me back 2 pounds (boo hiss). I did great OP during the day, but the night around the campfire -- not so much. Back on since last night, feeling better.
