Ooh Gala. I love this idea. Count me in. I check the boards every single day to see if someone has something to say and I try to respond to most of them. My responses may be trivial to your "What's new today" but I WILL participte. OK. What's new for me today is a milestone. When I weighed myself this morning I weighed 144 lbs. The last time I weighed 144 pounds was in the 7th grade when they weighed all of us in P.E. I was so humiliated that I weighed so much more than anyone else. And of course they weighed us in front of everyone else and wrote our weight down. This is the first time since 7th grade that I've weighed this least. Big mile stone for me. I have a question about how this daily post works. Do we all reply each day on this single post or does someone start a new post each day and everyone just adds to it for that day? Thanks for carrying the idea over to this board. I've missed the interaction here. Melody

I am going to try something new. Since there aren't to many of us "reading" the board every day I may not do this "every day". However - if you all show that you are reading and responding then I would love to keep this up and going. I frequent the Over 50 Forum on OH. No...I'm not 50. Nor am I anywhere near 50. HOwever, the members there have taken me in under their wings. I have truely enjoyed that forum. However, there are many days that I don't feel like I "belong". For the most part though - I love them all. So the purpose of this thread is to "post something new" each day. Whatever it may be. WLS, FAMILY, CHURCH, OR whatever it is that is new in your life. Someone a long time ago started it on the OFF forum and I love it. Soo...here goes it. What is New for YOU Today??? For me...I noticed last night that I was able to lay in the bathtub w/my arms at my sides and STILL have water on the sides w/room. Now that may sound trivial. However, it shows to me that even though I may not be loosing weight as fast as I was - it is still coming off in other ways. I started doing daycare. Today I have 4 kids. 3 of the 4 it is their first day. So I have had 3 little boys ages 2-4 crying off and on for mommy. My baby that is 3 months old - well he has been a perfect little baby until today. I think the commotion and everything w/the other kids has interupted his "style". He is temporary till mom finds someone else. I don't want a baby - and am only helping her out. On Monday I start w/1 full time kid-one of the little boys that is here today. He is 3 yrs old. . The other 2 boys (brothers) they are drop in kids only for a few months. then over the next month or so I have another little girl who is 3.5 starting. So life shall be interesting. Take Care and Love Always, Gala

Hey there... We aren't to far off in our surgery dates and our weight. My starting weight was 305. Currently 182. My surgery was the 6th of July. Hang in there. I think it is very normal for weightloss to slow at this point. I know everyone I talk to says the same thing. Gala

I peek in now and then, but not much going on. I've hit a slow down in my loses and get sort of discouraged by it. I'm at 182, down 105# in 9 months which I am grateful for, but I've really slowed down since Christmas. Anyway, I hope everyone is out enjoying the bright Spring weather.... Tracey Lynn
