Topic: RE: ELIZABETH!!
Thanks Reenie! You have always been my inspirtaion. You were around the same weight I was when we both began. For you to have reached the weight you are at now is such an amazing accomplishment. For those of us that were of a higher weight the struggle lasted longer. The fact that you continued on until sucess is very inspirational. Gives me hope! :) Hopefully one day I will get there. God willing. Will power willing. lol... So glad you're here Reenie. I couldn't ask for a dearer friend. ((hugs!!!))

Hi Yvette - how wonderful to "see" you again! Honey, you've kept more than 100 lbs. off in 5 years! That's amazing success! Oh, if I could give you any gift in the world it would be to not let you be so hard on yourself! If you are committed to maintaining your weight loss, that's an incredible gift you give to yourself! Just embrace each new day, Yvette - isn't it marvelous that we are given a new day, every day, to take care of ourselves, our loved ones, our worlds??? What a blessing! What we must reconcile is the fact that what we do with each day is solely up to the choices we make - for ourselves, our loved ones, our world. Just start each day by loving yourself, doing good for yourself. No matter how small the gesture, it will be meaningful in terms of the way you are then able to give yourself away in the context of your world and the way you live in it - go out and touch people's lives, Yvette. They will in turn give back to you. I'm so happy to see you again. Be well, my friend. Maureen

That's a good question, Kim! My gut feeling is that you DO have to be extra-careful with protecting that region of your body. You should discuss this with your doctor or surgeon, and I'd be real interested to learn what he/she says! Take care, sweetie. Maureen

If you are one of the "biggest" on the March Board, it's in terms of the size of your heart... nothing else. We are all in this together, dear one. Maureen

WELL HERE I AM FROM OVER 298 POUNDS BY 2004 , TO 190 NOW . I'M NOT A WINNER BUT I'M HERE ALIVE . NOT SUGAR LEVELS HIGH NO MORE. I'M FEELING BETTER WITH MYSELF . SOME CHANGES IN MY LIFE SYTLE. STILL HANGING WITH OLD MIND THINGS CAN'T GET OFF IT. I FEEL OBESE , I'M NOT HAPPY AT ALL. BUT I DON'T LOOSE WEIGHT AT ALL. HAVING SOME HEALTH ISSUES LIKE FIBROMEDALIA, AND SOME REAL PAINS BOTHERS ME ALL THE TIME. THE MEDS DON'T HELP ME AT ALL. BUT NO REGRETS FROM WLS IF I HAVE TO BACK I WILL DO IT AGAIN. HAPPY REBIRTHDAY TO ALL MY MARCHERS TAKE CARE , LOVE YOU ALL.

Topic: RE: friends weight gain
so true and I still have alot to loose!!! IT IS struggle not to gain. Even more of a struggle for me to get this weight off. I'm probably one of the biggest on the March board here. 'sigh'. it will always be a struggle, like you said, for the rest of my life. But as long as we never give up and give in, hopefully we will always stay on top, even if it takes awhile! ((hugs!))

If they made you bifocals they are no longer just for reading, that is suppose to mean you where them all the time. The top part is for distance & the bottom for reading.
I know have had them for lots of years & also will get updated ones when the tax
refund gets here. My AZ Insurance won't pay for them so have to pay for them myself.
You will get use to them should only take a couple of days, if not they made them too
strong & you should say something. Are you saying u have 2 pairs. You shuold not
need reading glasses along with the bifocals. That is probaby what is confusing the brain.
