Hey Ya'll, sorry I have not posted on my profile, life has had me by the butt haha and still wont let go........I am living finally and enjoying what GOD intended for me to enjoy........I can finally get up and LIVE now instead of hanging out in my bed all day and night. I do apologize though for taking so long to come in and say hello to everyone. I feel great and as you all know, I have moved out of my house that I had been in 14 years. I moved to this wonderful little town called Milledgeville GA and IT ROCKS!!! Yeah.......I am still with my hunny, Lawrence and we are so happy together. I am still loosing pounds and inches and I still have yet to experience the "dumping syndrome", but hey no complaints here. I am about 30 pounds away from my goal wt now and my extra skin is hideous YUK but hey I know that I wont be able to get it off me unless I inherit some powerful $$ or maybe win the lotto, so I have told myself I can deal with it. I look ok with clothes on but hey when they come off EVERYTHING, and I mean everything goes to the floor hahahaha......wish I could just pick it up and get a rubber band and put it all in a pony tail somehow but that hasent happened yet......I really dont care if I ever get to have the extra skin chopped off, cos I am happy with or without it. One thing I did not know though, I did not know that ya loose all the boobs after surgery, Yep, mine are gone gone gone all I have is skin there now. I did make God a promise that I would not complain about the skin if he would let me have my surgery, so I need to shush about it all. I have to split now for a lil while but I will be back with more laughs okay?? Yall take care and say yer prayers now cos he is always in charge of everything.......love ya and smooches........RNEY

WOW WOW WOW, that is all I can say since the last time I posted. I have been enjoying my life and living it to the very fullest .....I am so sorry I have not been on to post any updates but SO MUCH has happened in my life that I dont know where to begin.....

Well, to start with, I have only about 60 more pounds to go to reach my goal wt. I feel so good everyday now. I found love again....I am continuing to loose wt everyday and life could not be better. I have not had any comps nor have I been sick due to the surgery.....I did have a stupid moment once and got myself dehydrated and had to go to hospital but all is well now. That was a lesson I had to learn.....and I did believe me.....I found that I cannot live on love alone....I have to get in my water intake or else. Since I was here before, I have been OUTSIDE and have been in the pool most everyday and GOD IS SO GOOD to me that he sent me my better half......YEP ......Im in love again......his name is Lawrence and we were together 28 years ago and five years before that too.....we were kids when we met then we got together when we were 19 and 21. It ended badly that year of 82 and I really thought all was lost for he and I to be together again but nope GOD DOES WORK in weird ways....he put us together again in April and we have been together since. We are closer now and that really terrifies me but at the same time I am happier now than I have been in my WHOLE life. I wake up now feeling like I am on top of the world and everyday is a new day for me. It has been just a year since my surgery and my total wt loss is lets see.....ummm ........316 pounds lost....yep thats right, I am almost home at my goal wt.....wowwowowow.....Sorry I dont get on the computer like I used to do but hey my life is SO FULL now that it is hard to even sit down and say hello to anyone...but you all know that I LOVE YA and i do still think about you. Someone asked me about my extra skin and yep I have TONS of it haha...but I dont complain cos I made GOD a promise that I would not complain once I lost my wt so I have learned to just deal with the extra fat that is on me. Yes it is ugly and it is painful but I am too glad to be alive and I can and do deal with it. I would have to say it probly is about 40 pounds or so but as long as my darlin dont care I wont worry about it. Yall please pray for me and know that I love ya.....See ya later......Renee all smiles now.......
