Hello all!

Man, it is amazing how time gets away from you!  I got a nudge from some of my OH buddies thinking I was MIA, so I thought I had better come and let you all know that I am alive and well!  The holidays really went well for me this year with losing weight over both food holidays.  My tool just rocks!  Of course, respecting the tool is really the key for me.  I have posted some new pics in my profile that I took today.  I hate posed pictures, but hey, I wanted there to be proof I am still alive!!

I am looking at posts everyday to gain insight and inspiration from all of you.  I would not have made it where I am at today without this site or the friends I have gained as a result.  As of today, I have lost 100 lbs since surgery and 126 since I started this journey in May.  I haven't updated my ticker yet as I can't find how to do it anymore with these website changes!!!

Thank you to all of you who post your stories of triumph, WOWs, successes, and yes, sometimes failures.  It is all a part of life and really encourages me to put one foot in front of the other and continue down this road.  You are all a true inspiration to me and I am a better person because of it!

Cheers!

Hey Michael - good to see you!!!

"respect the tool" - that is great! Love it. You should make that your catch phrase!

WTG on all your successes!!! Just awesome.

Great job Micheal.
You had the RNY 10 days before me . My last trip to the scale showed I had losd 99 pounds since my first weigh in.
 126 pounds, that is awsome.

You look absolutely fabulous!  Glad to see you back on the boards, I was about to send out a search crew.  You really are rocking/respecting that tool and it shows.  Hoping I can learn more from your success.

See you on Saturday!
