Hey everyone! My husband had Gastric Bypass on Nov 1st and had lost 50 pounds so far! I am an avid runner, doing 8-10 miles every day really kept me in shape. I had a baby recently (OK 2 years ago) and have gained ALOT {{post baby!!}} Thats not supposed to happen!! Since my hubby took the drastic step of having wls, he is feeling more frisky and losing so FAST! To be honest, I am very competetive and not used to letting others win, so I am very excited to lose weight too. Although, I know I could drop it as fast as he. I luckily have a bit less to lose though and definitely do not want to be the (fat wife) once he is a hottie!

I am doing whole foods. Steaming veggies, eating lots of fruit and having whole grain pastas, rice and breads. My 11 year old daughter is a vegan, so the two of us are having a blast trying out new healthy recipes together.

I really like the energy on this board, and look forward to getting to know all of you and losing the extra jiggle!

Hi and welcome. Have you found the vegetarian threads yet?

Yes, I am going to be doing alot of reading on this board this week. I also love the Whole foods lifestyle, got alot of great tips there. My daughter is a vegetarian, I am not (WAY too addicted to sushi!!) But I definitely want to incorporate some good vegetarian recipes into our daily plan to help my daughter eat more variety as well as gain better eating habits myself.
