Your 8 year old sister is more likely to ride the big big roller coasters than me I am so happy you finally got to go to Six Flags. I am going today with the family but know that we will have a blast next weekend. RUNAWAY MOUNTAIN here we come!!!! That is my favorite ride out there! Talk to ya soon! ROXY

Well, I finally made my much anticipated trip to Six Flags today! Haven't been there in over 10 years...and it's 10 minutes from my house. I used to live there...until I got too big to ride the rides. One of my main goals after this surgery was to go back...and ride everything. I went today...and didn't get to ride everything (because my 8 year old sister was with me and she's too short). BUT--everything we road (including big roller coasters)...I was able to fit with no problem at all. Unfortunately, I did see some people who were tugging and pulling at lap belts and lap bars to be able to ride.....and it broke my heart to see them. I REMEMBER what that was like--it's an awful feeling! I must admit, the first ride we road was a huge wooden roller coaster, The Texas Giant. I remember the very last time I rode it (I was in 10th grade)...I said I'd never get back on it again...because I ALMOST didn't fit. I was really nervous to sit down...I kept eyeballing the seat...but I fit with no problem today. It was a GREAT feeling! Just wanted to share =) Oh yeah, and me and Roxanne (also a Mayster) are going again next Saturday...and I plan on riding as many big roller coasters as I can drag her on! I'll let you know how it goes...lol. Courtney

May 14,2007 and I am 124 lbs less. Lately I have been having aches and pains in my back and sholders. I think it could be the way I carry myself now. I noticed in the store mirror when I walk by that I seem a little hunched over. I went to a charapractor he said I have no muscle left in my neck and sholders. So now I am using some barbells to build more. I also notice when I sleep and turn over that I am more stiff and my bones "crack." I am curious if I am alone or if this is just one of the little set backs to the so many positives.

Congrats on your 100 pounds lost and only have a few until goal thats awesome. I am having a hard time loosing the last 33 pounds until my goal. the closer I get the harder it seems to get there but I have to look at like I have lost over 100 pounds in 11 months. I guess im selfish and want it now. Can you believe we are all coming up on a year and what a ride it has been good luck to ya all. Hugs Toni
