You can go to www.about.lds.com and they will have a lot of clip art to choose from. You can also go to the church website and as long as there is no copywrite problems, you can right click and save the picture to the computer for future use. If I come up with any other ideas, I will pass them along to you. Donna P.S. welcome to the board! glad to have you and let us know if there is anything we can do help you along the recovery road.

oops....forgot to post the web site!!! Sorry!!! http://www.bariatricsupportcenter.com/index.php

Hi everybody, My hubby's calling for the past two years has been to do the weekly Ward programs...well, let's say it's "our" calling...well, to be honest...I DO the program myself and he and I can be found most Saturday evenings at our ward building printing and folding Sunday's program (tri-fold). My question is...Does anybody out their have a source for pictures that can go with gospel themes? I have some pen and ink type pictures of some of the temples. I have found that the LDS clip art program pictures look too cartoony for a church program cover. Any and all ideas would be appreciated. Two years is a long time to keep things "fresh". Have a great day! Hugs Virginia aka Ginger

Good morning Ginger. Looking at the time you posted, you must get up REALLY early. My name is Melody. I live in the southern part of Idaho. I'm almost 2 years post op. I've lost over 140 lbs. I now fluctuate between 118 and 120 lbs. I'd like to lose another 8 pounds but my body is stable at the weight it is now. The losing of another 8 pounds is NOT my ideal. My neurologist told me I'm NOT too thin and I could still stand to lose another 8 pounds. (I'm only 5'2") I have a LOT of loose skin. My young children (5 and 7 years old) see me naked when I'm getting in or out of the shower and they call me fat. I teach pre-school out of my home. I got an unexpected (?) day off today when the school district cancelled school because of snow. We follow the school district school schedule. If they DON'T have school, WE don't have pre-school. We've had a lot of snow and so a snow day came as a surprise today. It's still snowing quite hard outside as I type. I guess I'll spend the day preparing my primary lesson. I teach the 11 years old. I love primary! I started out in leading the music (my first love) but I have a disability (MS) and am unable to move around as much as needed so I was given a sedentary position of teaching. My husband is a non member. We've been married 24 years. We have 5 children. A son (22 years old), a daughter 20, a daughter 18, a daughter 7 and a daughter 5. All the females are very active in the church. My son is inactive. He's a good boy though. I'm rambling. This board has been too quiet for far too long. It's good to see new interest. I encourage you to visit often and put the poker under us and post often and get us to post also. Good luck on your journey with your weight loss. It's not always easy. But in the end, for me at least, it was definately worth it. Make sure you get your water in and your protein in. I found a new protein through Susan Maria (bariatric eating) that I absolutely LOVE. It's a flavor called "cantelope". It's light and easy to drink. Good luck. Come back with questions or concerns. We'll do our best to give you our prospective about it. Melody

Hi Kristi, I know I am responding from a post you did way back in the beginning of December..but I just wanted to tell ya hi. I read other posts of yours on the November 2005 message board. I just found this forum and I am thrilled. It's nice to be able to have a place to go to where we all have something that unites us besides weight loss surgery. I hope you are feeling better. My surgery was Nov. 23rd so you are just right ahead of me. Hugs, Virginia aka Ginger
