I so could nto do this without all the support from this board and hard to believe it has been 9 months!!! I will post my pics soon. Just too tired after working today. BUT the scale moved finally!!! So I am happy. I jsut wanted to say hello. I will post more in a few days after this work stretch! Thinking of all of you!!! Donna

HEY how is everyone. I haven't been around much. Taking care of all my family. The older people around me seem to be getting sick a lot and I don't seem t have much time for anything else. Not to mention chasing my 3 year old around lol ! As far as my weight loss goes, I haven't lost any in 3 months. I'm sitting at 165. I wear a size 10 and if I didn't have some of the extra skin I think I would be smaller. I'm happy with my new body. (I'm going to keep saying it until I believe it LOL) I'm my head I think I look good then I look into the mirror and I see all the things that could still change. My goal is 150 but my Dr said 175 would be good. I am struggling with food and need to get back on track. I don't eat to much I sometimes make bad choices I guess its all about learning. I didn't get overweight overnight and those problems don't go away overnight. We always say the surgery doesn't fix your brain and I sure wi**** did LOL. Well if anyone has any good advice I'm up for it..I need to break this stall. I would love to see 150's again! I hope everyone is chugging alone. I"m going to try and be around more because I think I need you guys! Hugs, Rebecca

Wow...what a day. I got my haircut today and I haven't used this barber in many months (because I thought he had retired...just decided to cut hair out of his house now). As he was talking to me I began to realize that he did not remember me. So, I pulled out my picture and showed him and then it all came back to him. I told him that he was not the first person to have that problem. Then, later in the day, the BIGGEST news is that Christine, my dear wife, has decided that she wants to enjoy this same happiness. SHE'S DECIDED TO HAVE A RNY....WOW. She had to have her blood pressure checked today and it was high...it has been high in the past. She thought about it, has previously been thinking about it, and decided that the time is right for her. She said that life is passing too fast to miss out on anything. Then, she has also decided that we are ready for a new house. I've been waiting for this for a long time. We purchased 15 acres of prime real estate out in the country and were waiting for the right time to build...well, it seems that it is the right time. Wow, what did I do to deserve this...and I got a great haircut to top off this great day. I still look at Onderland off in the distance and drool.....I'm ready for that soon....patience....patience...patience. John
