[Nfb-krafters-korner] ideas for a bracelet

Mon Oct 25 13:39:45 UTC 2010

Great job!  I have lost a little over 60 in 2.5 years.  The last few months I have been going back and forth in a five pound range.  Meds do that to you!  Just back from state convention.  I will see how good or bad I did!  Had some good food, but kept busy.  My idea will alow you to decrease in points with the same bracelet, since there is an end of 30 or if your husband wanted one, it could be his 35.
Mine started at 29 and I am at 24, now.
I love WW because it teaches you to live in the real world, whether at home or eating out.  Many others have you depend on their food.  WW products are optional.  Many I can not have because of sugar substitutes.  I have epelepsi and they claim that sugar substitutes can bring on seizures.  After thanging to this last medicine and no more sugar substitutes, my seizures have almost gone away!

Hi Greg,
I love new recipes and making some myself. I always plan on fancy ways to keep them organized but rarely do much with it.  

I have saved calendars with pretty pictures and strong paper to put favorite recipes to kep in the kitchen. But they are still waiting.  My Braille paper is bright pink and says something like "if your birthday is on this date or before in 1961 you can drink alcohol". Lol  Does that fall under fancy? Lol

I have been increasing my exercise. My Husband can't walk far because of his lung problems, ut he rides his scooter and I move along rather quickly behind.  Last week he lost over five pounds and I stayed the same. But really, I am doing fine.In seven weeks I have lost eight pounds. I have also enjoyed foods I love and going out to eat. Can't ask for more then this. Lol

No one mentions heir recipe boxes in the class, but I intend to take my bracelet in when I perfect it.

I think So I guess that said, I am looking for a fancy bracelet. It is my weekend project. Thanks for the encouragement.
Henrietta

Good job Henrietta! Just remember, you may not get points for age and may not get as many as he, but, he has more control to exercise too. So, be proud of your little 21 and I know from experience, you will do it. And, isn't it challenging and fun to see just how good you can eat and have so much more food to eat? Kind of like a bite of cheesecake or a pile of fresh grapes! Or, all that huge pile of popcorn for a point with a little seasoning! It works.

Sighted people have these creative and pretty recipe boxes. Or, they decorate a notebook and have them in that. Does anybody in the group do anything like this? I have to admit that I just stick recipes in a plain notebook or a stack in my office cabinet. Surely some of us are more crafty since there's no reason we can't do things like scrapbooking and beautifying.

Greg
