Kari said… - this trip in October we will be heading down to Mankato. I lived there for 4 years, it's where me and the hubs met for the first time and lived together for a short while, we are excited to head back. We are also hoping to stay in the cities for a night so we can hit up whole foods, trader joes, ikea, and dun dun dunnnn mall of america. Where you at again?

Katie said… - Hi Robyn - it's funny that you mentioned that I would know how you feel every 6 months now because as I sat there I thought of all of you who do this and have done this - and how much more scary it has to be after actually having a diagnosis of cancer. I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers in the coming weeks and months until your appointment hoping that you too will be celebrating a clean bill of health. Thanks again for your support - it means so much to me.

Mrs. Ballou said… - For my potato salad, I use red potatoes, fat free plain yogurt, 2 tbsp of Miracle Whip (full fat, can't stand the light stuff), onion (red or white) and some egg whites, fresh basil a dash of lemon juice. It's really good and about 3-4 points per serving. The trifle is a recipe I found online and just modified and used all fat free stuff, here's the link... http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Three-Berry-Lemon-Trifle/Detail.aspx
Thanks for the nice comment and Happy 4th! :)
Profile Information
- About Me:
Hi! My name is Robyn and I am 44 years old. I am married (almost 19 years) and have two beautiful kids! A 16 year old daughter and a 14 year old son!I've battled my weight all of my life and have made a decision that THIS is the year that all changes. Mostly because I want to be HEALTHY! In August of 2007 I was diagnosed with Breast Cancer and underwent a unilateral mastectomy of my left breast. I also had reconstruction surgery at the same time. I am happy to report that I am hereby cancer-free!
I had a TRAM free-flap procedure where my Doctor created my new breast out of my tummy tissue! Believe me, he had plenty of that work with! The added benefit of a tummy tuck was nice...but now its time to get the REST of my body into shape.
I've never been a "small" girl! In fact, I think I when I was younger I went from 99 to 160 lbs. overnight? lol I don't remember ever weighing less than 160 even when I was in high school!
As far as diets go.....you name it, I've done it. I've been a Weight Watcher member at least 4 times. I've tried Atkins, Nutrisystem, Slimfast...etc. I also did Phen Phen back in the early 90's for about 3-4 months. I lost 34 lbs (down to 157) and was completely happy at that weight. I also maintained it for almost 3 years. Then when I switched to a desk job...the weight slowly crept back on. Now..after years and years of yo-yo dieting I've reached my all-time high! A couple weeks ago I was at 203.5....but this morning I weighed in at 198.
This picture below was taken in April of 2005...when I was probably at my lowest in many years! (173 lbs.) At the time I thought I was WAY fat...but looking back now, I really wasn't that bad! Look how much thinner my cheeks are! Sheesh!
