I usually attend several local government meetings on a monthly basis. Because of conflicts in the past two months, I've been unable to attend one of my largest meetings since June. Last week, there was a presentation by a consultant that required "expert" testimony from me at the meeting. The county administrator, whom I've worked with for several years on a regular basis but haven't seen since June, did not recognize me before or during the meeting until he heard me speak to the group. He broke into the testimony to exclaim that I was looking great and notified the entire audience (about 75 people and TV crews) that I had lost at least an entire person. I wondered why he didn't acknowledge me when I entered the room and waved at the start of the meeting! Needless to say I was a little embarrassed but when I thought about it later on the drive home, realized how much of a change I've actually been through in a short 6 months time. I love what's happening to me! Just had to share it with you all. Dave

Congratulations Michelle, Enjoy working out with hubby! Hugggs and blessings, Heidi 353/243/170

Heidi, I have a lump about the size of a quarter about 2 inches from the top of my incision. When I push on it it goes"back in". I don't know if I am describing it well. It only hurts a little bit when you manipulate it. I have had no vomiting or anything but the doc said it could get worse if I don't get it repaired. Terry

You'll make it by Christmas, for sure. That's only 10 lbs a month! We'll wear our mini skirts together! Heidi

It's so odd, isn't it? To feel bones in places you aren't used to feeling them. But then there's something familiar about it, too. Heidi
