Hey Kenny, You said something I had wanted to respond to, but darn cord...this is the first bad online ebay experience ever. The seller said to email him if it doesn't come this weekend. I'm at the library now. But anyway, you said I had you beat in the weight loss. But NO way, sir! I think you have done just as well as me if not better, especially because you have weathered more frequent emotional storms. It takes a lot of work to do that. And the great thing is you were always aware of those storms. That's half the battle. I'll bet you had less to lose than I did too. I had at least 128 pounds. You look great. You've lost more than my little one's weight. He's heavy to me, so that's a lot! My husband was trying to talk a struggling overweight man from an organization where they both need to lose weight into considering banding(guess who pushed him to do that-haha). Since hubby has lost 59 pounds, this man had asked him for tips. But ever since he tried, this man has been shying away from my husband, and putting more weight on, getting ill, and getting ready to throw in the towel . I told hubby that the truth that he needs the help is hurting him. That's why I told you how proud I was of you for making the decision for having WLS. It's not an easy decision to make. You are quite victorious and it shows! Kristine

Kristine such wonderful things to say about me! Thank you so very much! But you still lost more weight than me, you BIG LOOSER YOU! Thanks Kenny

That's awesome! Always concentrate on the positives. There are so many! OH and I forgot to answer your question about the sailboat. I don't know a thing about boats, it was my first time even being on a sailboat. SO here's two pictures if it helps! The woman in the bathing suit is my co-worker, Jean -- We grabbed a few shots from the dock after they dumped us off! http://designingweb.com/a/jp.jpg http://designingweb.com/a/jp2.jpg
