Checking in

I don't post very often to this board but I want to say hi. I am down 60 pounds and I am feeling great. I started this process wearing a size 60 pants now I can wear a size 50 pant. I am lucky enough to work for a company that has an onsite gym so I get to work out on my lunch hour. Since I started on this path of weight loss, I have started trying to fix other issues in my life including my marraige which had been very bad. My wife and I will start seeing a counselor with LDS social services and we have started reading an awesome book called "And They Were Not Ashamed" which has started helping us out. We will be going to Hawaii in a week for some time away. -Jonathan

Hi Jonathan, I've been thinking about you and wondered how you were doing. Congratulations on your 60# weight loss. That's absolutely fabulous! Coodos to you for being able to work out at a gym everyday. Keep up the good work. Sounds like things are finally looking up for you. Enjoy Hawaii and let us know how your life is progressing.

Good to see you checking in. You're weightloss is great too!! What a wonderful feeling it must be for you. I know how much better I feel. Keep up the great work. Also, glad to hear that you and your wife are working on your marriage. It isn't easy. I know. BTDT...doing it know. We don't see somone from LDSSS because our insurance, the distance and also I'm not to thrilled w/the SS from this area (we had bad experience w/adopting a child). Regardless - it is great for you. I looked up the info on the book you are reading. I think it is something that I may be ordering for James and I - when we get to that point in our marriage counceling/work that we can openly and honestly discuss this issue. Again, great job and keep checking in with us. Take Care, Gala

Hi Jon- great job on the weight loss, and good luck with the counseling. My own experience with LDSSS has been very good-I still see a counselor there once in awhile just to check in. Tough times in a marriage are just that-tough-but if both of you are willing to work thru it, it can change for the better. glad to see you posting-keep us updated on how you are doing!
