Sunday Roll Call

Today is a nice, hot day here in Livingston, TX. Hope everyone's having a great day. We went to church and Sunday School, and have been getting a few things done around the house. We are going to start packing for our cruise in a few minutes. It isn't until next Monday, but I don't like doing things last minute. 1) Do you have a hobby, and if so, what is it? 2) Where do you see yourself weight loss wise in 1 year from now? 3) Are you jealous of people who had weight loss surgery before you and are way ahead? 1) My favorite hobby is scrapbooking. I love to scrap, and it is therapeutic for me. I have a group of friends that get together for a day once every month or two and we work and visit all day. We also go to scrapbook conventions to learn to do new things once a year or so. 2) In a year, I would like to be close to my goal weight of 150. I do realize that after the first couple of months, weight loss is slower and that I can't expect to be there much before that. 3) I don't know that I'm exactly jealous of others who had WLS long before I did. I just could kick myself for not deciding to do it any sooner. Karla 337/261/150

1) Do you have a hobby, and if so, what is it? Yes I play on the computer, I make signature tags in PSP 2) Where do you see yourself weight loss wise in 1 year from now? Hopefully healthy and a lot smaller and hopefully I have ingrained the tools I need into my brain that helps me keep the weight off. 3) Are you jealous of people who had weight loss surgery before you and are way ahead? yes it makes me kick myself for not doing this earlier but I know my time on the losing side is just beginning and it will only get better from here.

1. I scrapbook too. I am a consultant for www.topline-creations.com I went to a crop yesterday and got 26 pages done! 2. I'd like to be at my goal weight of 150 by my 1 year marker. 2. Nope, I have a good friend who is 4 years post op and she's really helped me along my journey! Susan

Karla, if you are really into the retreat scene, you have to try this place in Indiana. It was AWESOME!!! I have nothing but RAVE reviews!!!! http://www.oldgenevadairy.com/ Susan

1. I have several hobbies. Cooking and inventing new recipes. Reading 2. At a year post-op I hope to be at goal both weight wise and size wise. 3. No I'm not jealous of the people I know that had WLS before I did. They just made the decision sooner, but they still had the same journey to make. Hazel

1) Do you have a hobby, and if so, what is it? - I love to read. Right now I'm reading 'Wicked - The Life and Times of The Wicked Witch of The West'. It's The Wizard Of Oz from the perspective of The Wicked Witch of the West. 2) Where do you see yourself weight loss wise in 1 year from now? - Hopefully at or very near goal. Certainly a lot healthier than when I started this journey. 3) Are you jealous of people who had weight loss surgery before you and are way ahead? - No, they are my inspiration!

1)My hobbies are scrapbooking,but do not get to do it as much as I would like,sewingand walking on the beach collecting agates. 2)In a year I would like to be at or very close to my goal of 175lbs. 3)I am not jealous but totally wish I had done this sooner. Joy S.
