Just a quick hello

I haven't been posting much and just wanted to say a quick hello. I am sitting here at 14 months out from surgery and 3 lbs away from dr goal. I am pretty satisfied with where I am so I am not really pushing to lose anymore but I figure I will once I get back to the gym. Haven't been doing much at the gym since my gall bladder issues because I just haven't felt like it. Really frustrated because my energy levels aren't back up yet. I spoke with the PA on Monday about it. My blood work and all was great so she said that wasn't a problem. She figures that a majority of my issues are from working two jobs and just a busy life in general. She recommended trying to get more rest, increasing my fluids, and definitely getting back to the gym will help, but I had a nasty cold so she said I needed to wait til it was gone before hitting the gym. I think it is just about gone so I plan to jump back in on Monday and see how I do. Life has been wonderful but busy. My support group schedule got changed around and because of my work schedule I am not able to attend the meetings. This sucks and I really miss it. I am so glad I have you guys when I need it. I have new pics but haven't had a chance to post them. Hopefully will find some time this week. I am in love. My sweetie is truly a blessing and his two girls are absolutely wonderful and my life finally feels complete and I feel like I finally have a place to belong. Wishing everyone the best. Miss you guys. Courtney

I actually just finished reading your profile last night, and I must say that you have done a fantstic job! And that man of yours~Yummy~ and his girls are beautiful. Your happiness just shows in all those pictures. I am happy for you! I glad to see that you are on the mend and on your way back to feeling 100%.

Thanks Jackie. I am very proud of my journey and success. There is so much to be happy about, I just can't help it. You have been in my thoughts and prayers since you have been gone. I know you were going through a lot. Glad to see you back with us. Courtney

Hey, Miss Court! Nice to see you. Haven't seen you in ages. Wow, 3 lbs to surgeon's goal that's fabulous! Just fabulous! I hope that when you get more rest, fluids and hit the gym that your energy levels take a nice spike for you. Congrats on all the positive wonderful changes in your life including your new love and family. Hugs, Kathy

Hey Kathy! Gosh I miss you guys. Courtney

That's awesome that you are so close to goal in such a short time! Good luck with everything! Robin

Thanks Robin. I have worked hard to get here and am very proud of myself. Courtney

I miss seeing you post Courtney because you were always here and always pretty cheerful! You have done an awesome job and I am so happy that you are in love!!! I know you just wanted to be with someone special so you could share your life. You sound like you are working very hard and that could be the reason for your lack of energy......... Congratulations for getting to your surgeon's weight - well 3 lbs away but heck almost there! Did you ever think that was possible when you first started out? You are an inspiration Courtney and I hope you will post more often again! Jackie

Thanks so much Jackie. I have been lurking around just so busy it is hard to post. I am pretty proud of my success and very happy with the new things in my life. I do work hard which is a lot of the problem. Things have gotten easier since I have someone to share part of the load. I never thought it I would get this close to goal and be so successful. I hope things will settle down so I can get back on the board more. Courtney

Courtney good to hear from you hon!! I am keeping you in my thoughts and prayers that you are feeling better soon!! Anna
