Hi Family
I am still alive, still fat, still struggling, still working out, still pumping up, still the same in other words.
Thanks so much for the info! I will check out that snail serum. I have some hyperpigmentation on my face from sun damage, from forgetting my sunscreen, so I hope it will work well on that.
You have beautiful skin!

Today makes 6 months since by RNY. I celebrated my 41st birthday in the dark as a result of Hurricane Sandy this week and I am 87 pounds lighter. I believe I stalled over the last week or two. That's ok. Life is still good. My motto for the next 6 months: Enjoy life.
I tried a BodyPump class at the gym. Apparently it is an aerobic weight-lifting class. What a workout, y'all!!! I even took an aqua Zumba class.
I have no regrets about having had the surgery. Yes, I can still barely eat. I eat to survive and for nourishment. I am off some of my medications (diabetes, blood pressure, gout). I have stopped snoring according to some people. I don't use the C-pap machine anymore.
Life is now about finding out who I am and trying out new things. Enjoy life and all it has to offer.
Participating all day in the most awesome fundraiser in art and cloth... and what a better way to help some friends and neighbors struggling after the storm...
