&lt;p&gt;Forty-five pounds is the amount of weight of a four to five year old child. When my leader hands out 25 pound charm she calls it the &amp;quot;turkey charm.&amp;quot;&amp;nbsp; That&amp;#39;s because it is the size of a large turkey, which is difficult to carry.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I still have a long way to go, but I have lots of friends encouraging me a couple of friends to go to&amp;nbsp; meetings with.&amp;nbsp; Now that I am not working i can make a breakfast that stays with me most of the morning.&amp;nbsp; Now I get to eat the breakfast I only used to have on Sundays.&amp;nbsp; When I was working i was eating on the road and it was not good at all.&amp;nbsp; On Saturdays when I leave early to go to Bible Study class, I go to Dunkin Donuts for their flat bread veggie egg white sandwich and coffee (only six points).&amp;nbsp; It&amp;#39;s great and I really look forward to Saturday morning.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Hope everyone has a great day. Weather here in Taxachusetts is lousy and supposed to stay that way the rest of the week.&amp;nbsp; HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO BOTH UNITED STATES AND CANADA.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>Re: Moving On Down</title><link>http://forums.joslin.org/JoslinDiscussionBoards/thread/1764.aspx</link><pubDate>Tue, 30 Jun 2009 23:15:56 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">326bb573-4f25-4adc-890e-1519006fe538:1764</guid><dc:creator>donw</dc:creator><slash:comments>0</slash:comments><comments>http://forums.joslin.org/JoslinDiscussionBoards/thread/1764.aspx</comments><wfw:commentRss>http://forums.joslin.org/JoslinDiscussionBoards/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=8&amp;PostID=1764</wfw:commentRss><description>&lt;p&gt;Keep this up and you&amp;#39;ll have to change your board logon to SLIM!&amp;nbsp; Good work!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>Re: Moving On Down</title><link>http://forums.joslin.org/JoslinDiscussionBoards/thread/1763.aspx</link><pubDate>Tue, 30 Jun 2009 23:03:34 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">326bb573-4f25-4adc-890e-1519006fe538:1763</guid><dc:creator>kat</dc:creator><slash:comments>0</slash:comments><comments>http://forums.joslin.org/JoslinDiscussionBoards/thread/1763.aspx</comments><wfw:commentRss>http://forums.joslin.org/JoslinDiscussionBoards/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=8&amp;PostID=1763</wfw:commentRss><description>&lt;p&gt;CONGRATULATIONS!!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;As my W.W. leader would say, &amp;quot;That&amp;#39;s over 179 sticks of butter.&amp;quot;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; How&amp;#39;s that for a visual?&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I have now lost a grand total of 44.8 pounds.&amp;nbsp; Expect to make 50 soon.&amp;nbsp; I was thinking about this the other day and realized that the amound of weight I have lost is about the size of a 4-5 year old child.&amp;nbsp; Whew.&amp;nbsp; Well I hope someone sees this message.&amp;nbsp; I feel sorry that it has come to this, since we always had such great discussions, even if we did&amp;#39;n&amp;#39;t all agree.&amp;nbsp; This board is not so difficult as someothers I am on.&lt;/p&gt;
