ROLL CALL & Question of the Day for April 2005!

OK Folks, you know the routine...share your accomplishments and your stats for the month and take a few moments to answer the question of the day! As usual, the question from the pagan board is different form this one!) Question of the Day: We all have cravings... what has been your biggest Demon (food craving) and how did you deal with it? If you still have the craving and have not found a way to satify it, post it too so that others can give you suggestions!

Well so far my biggest food demon has been PIZZA! I love pizza! I miss Pizza! LOL! So now I have found that I can make mock pizzas with tortilla's or I can make homemade cheesesticks with a side of pizza sauce and I get over the craving very fast! LOL! Check out the cooking forum for other great pizza ideas, it is a recent topic of conversation! My other cravings have been for fresh fruit and I finally found a way to fix those crappy protein drinks! VIP Fresh makes smoothie kits and I get them and throw out the high sugar smoothie powder and substitute my protein power drinks. LOL! Fresh fruit also goes really well in jello! YUM!

I am also glad that you have NOT been tempted yet. If you don't have to open that sugar door, don't...lol... I did and I am anot sure how I feel about it yet. So far, I am still not craving sugar all of the time so I am able to keep it in check.

Well, I'm way late, but I was thrilled to find this!!! So often we feel like we're the only ones. I just had my surgery on April Fool's Day- I'm hoping that's a good sign as The Fool is the card of new beginnings and adventures! I'm down 23 lbs, which is great, but I still have 114 to go...about how much a week do most of you lose? I still feel a bit overwhelmed about how much I need to lose, so I thought having a weekly goal instead might be easier to focus on...I'd love to hear from evrybody! Blessed Be, LeAnn

MM & WELCOME! I am glad that you found us and I hope that you check back often. We are trying to breathe life back into this board! We all know pagans are chatty by nature...LOL! Anyways, for me it depends on the time of the month that it is. The week before my "monthly" I usually only loose 2-3 lbs and then after I am finished I tend to drop 5 pounds or so. Then the other two weeks I can loose anywhere from 2-4 lbs. It is really odd! LOL! The first month is when I lost the most. Now I am just chipping away at the weight week by week. LOL!

Thank You for the info! It's nice to have a guideline. Patience is not my strongest suit- maybe this is the Lady's way of teaching me...Hopefully we'll all have a great "losing streak" soon though! Take Care and Happy Losing, LeAnn

Hi. I just found the Wiccan board. I had my surgery on Dec. 6, 2004. I had a little trouble because my drain tube moved and squished a nerve everytime I tried to get up..owwwww!!! As soon as they took it out, I was fine. It has been 5 months and I have lost 62 lbs. I had my coven members do a healing spell for me before I went in and I had no complications except for the nerve squish thing =). I weighed 276 and now I weigh 214. Check my profile for pics. Blessed Be to all u guys.

Well welcome to the boards Hun!!! I too had dones some healing work before and after and I truely believe that it helped my recovery! HUGS- Jamie
