LONG TIME... changes.
I dont have any pics to share because I am at work but I will come back tonight and add some.
Started my journey at 258.4 Lbs and am now at 159.8 lbs. I still have about 45 lbs to go but I am HAPPY.
I am also a statistic...Rob and I broke up. It was a long time coming. I dont want anyone to think this was WLS related because it was not at all... This was entirely related to he doesn't treat me or the kids well. He doesn't work, sucks me dry of EVERYTHING and really has been a parasite in my life for a long time.
On a fantastic note I am dating a guy named Matt and he is AMAZING ... kids love him, I love him, we are very very well matched... I will tell you all about him in a little while...
This is just a quick note to say I am still here still lurking... and sorry I have been a bit MIA.

Boy , is this an epidemic recently? I think we should form a support group for those of us breaking up.
Jules - good to hear from you! Congrats on your success to date. I, too, am recently separating, Long story....see my earlier post of last week if you wish the highlights. Don't think mine is WLS related
Look forward to hearing more from you!
