Hi Joanne. I just saw your post -- I also had my surgery in April of 2005. If you like you can email me privately at [email protected]. Looking forward to chatting with you. Do you have a blog on here?

My name is Joanne. I have been off this site for awhile but need to get back on track myself. Is anyone still posting ?
I think people lost weight and moved on to living their life. Next week is my nine year anniversary. I've kept 70-75% of my extra weight off and have had a tummy tuck and breast lift. I'm still overweight and keep losing and finding the same 30 pounds. Makes me crazy if I think about it, so I don't. I'm healthy and a grandma of two and expect to live long enough to see great grandchildren. Hope everyone else is doing as well.
You sound like you want it bad enough, so you will do it -- I can't see why it won't happen with what you're doing. Hang in there!! I'm doing shakes more than anything else just because I prefer it -- I have one meal a day and the rest shakes. I just started using egg protein for a change -- going bacck and forth between whey and that. I also eat nuts for snacks.

As for me, I'm 2 babies later, and battling off 30 lbs I gained over the course of those two pregnancies. So far I'm 6 lbs down. 24 left to go. I plan to reward myself with a new closet of clothes once I reach goal (again.) I update my blog every now and again if anyone's ever curious on checking up on me.
How's everyone else? I never see anyone on here or in person anymore that I recognize. Where did everyone go?
I'm not at my low, but certainly in a happy place -- steady at size 14-16. My life is very different, I'm comfortable in myself. I'm 55 and my only frustration is that I didn't have this much much sooner in my life so I have much longer to look forward to.
Divorced --he said he was afraid I'd leave him when I lost weight -- but then HE LEFT ME!!! YAY!!!!!!!!!
I've got a really good man in my life now who thinks I deserve to be happy. And I agree. I work like a dog like before, I am the mother of a 14-1/2 year old boy (my hair color is NOT covering the gray!!) and my dog still poops on the floor. But LIFE IS GOOD!!!!! Marla a/k/a Feistyemm
