Just popping in to say hello and happy holidays!
Hi everyone. I'm sorry I haven't been too good at keeping up. I do ready your posts now and then to see how everyone is doing. There is a reason for it.
In May, after being under-employed for 8 years, I obtained a promotion to a different state agency. I'm lucky enough to be the HR Director! It was so nice to be rewarded for my work, finally, and I'm sure part of it was made possible by the loss of nearly 120 pounds! I was much more employable. So, now I have the job I wanted, but I'm busy, busy! I keep up with my local WLS folks, mostly on Facebook, and I go to Saturday coffees and monthly support meetings.
I'm floundering a bit, I still have 40-60 pounds to lose (both my goal and my surgeon's!), but I'll keep plugging away at it.
Nice to see people are doing pretty well and I think of all you kind and generous folks often. Happy holidays to all of you!

I'm down 120 pounds - thanks to RNY! Working on the next 25. Then I'll tackle more...

Mary,
Isn't life post-WLS grand! I know that I am busier these days too and can handle the many things required because I choose this way of life, so congratulations on your promotion and the busy life you are living.
Happy Holiday's to you too!

My Mantra is that I do not determine my success by the number hanging in my closet, nor will I let the scale determine that success either. . . It is through trial and error I will continue to grow and succeed. . . Laureen
