Topic: RE: Sunday Weigh In
I actually gained a pound. I think that it may be more of a fluxuation though. I'm at 199 and motivated to stay below the 200 mark...worked too hard to slip back. I've been at the same weight for most of March. I'm interested in getting 10 more off, so I'll give a good push here before my 1 year surgiversary. Started at 347 and down around 150 pounds. I went to the support group and then we went into the room where the new orientation for prospective patients were getting all of the information. My wife, Christine, was among this group. What a day it was. We went out for an Italian lunch and just had a wonderful day. My wife has to be careful NOT to gain since she is sitting on the 35 BMI mark. So, needless to say, her focus is not on losing so it make it harder for me too. I also bought some new suits at a second-hand store for under $20 each. My kids said that I look like Bill Self. Now if you live in Kansas and you are told that you look like Bill Self, that is a fine compliment. (reference here the 2008 national champions of KU.....rock, chalk Jayhawks....go KU) I'm so happy with life now and it also got a lot harder to keep losing after my docs appointment. When you get called a "poster child", it makes it harder to say focused. I'm still getting used to the idea that I'm offically successful at this. Now, to stay successful is the key. Have a great week. John

Oh noooo roller coasters for me... My friend Comet who had WLS with me & her hubbie just loves them! Prior to surgery she was having trouble fitting in seats. It was a goal of hers to be able to ride them all again. Back in Oct. they went to Cedar Point, OH and she was estatic to say her goal was met. Right now her and her family are at Universal Studios in FL. I don't envy the park visit, but I'd like her to bring back some warm sunny weather. It's cold in NY today. Only 34F and I am sure there's a wind chill. Courtney, you have done great!! Looking great too! Take care, April
