Topic: RE: I'm Back
Thanks and I was just on the WLS Grad forum and have read about people getting into old way of eating and wondered about maybe doing Ethel Wants to know what Ya eating? again. I see that a lot of people struggle when they are no longer accoubtable to one another.
If any one is interested let me know.
Great to be back!

I have never checked the Grad board out I think I will. Good for you and Brenda! I would love a cruise and with other WLS folks would be fun. We could compare wrinkles 
Wow, 190lbs lost is an incredible achievement!
You both are so wonderful in your support of each other.

Joan,
So glad to hear from you. I've really missed seeing your posts.
Brenda and I are doing great. She just recently reached her goal, with a 190 pound loss, so now we are both in the maintenance mode.
We feel so good about ourselves now that we are treating ourselves with a real vacation. We couldn't decide what we wanted to do and then I found a post on the Grad board about the WLS cruise to the Bahamas in January, so we decided to do it. We're really excited about it. Seems like such a long way off.
Glad you're back and hope to hear from you often.

Wow-you're right, 15 months!!!
I met goal about 6 months ago, around when our daughter was delivered (you do the math... 
We were using 2 forms of BC, but I guess He had other plans)
This pregnancy was SO much more healthy than with our son 6 years ago-what a difference! No more high BP, blood sugars are in control, not back or knee pain-I'm high on life!!! No regrets what so ever. I've lost 126 pounds and still go to 2 support group meetings each month as well. I'm enjoying PLAYING with our kids instead of just sitting and watching life go by.
Hope everyone is doing well-we've had an amazing journey!!!
Best Wishes to all!

Hello Sher...thanks..I have certainly missed everyone.
Yes, great summer and now preparing to return to work once again at the school where I am the crossing guard (4 yrs now).
We are also getting ready to start our 10th year of homeschooling..I guess the Lord thinks this old lady is still up for the task.

Hi Joan, good to see you back on board. I am doing well, still trying to get the last 10 lbs or so to come off. Hope you are having a good summer.

Hello all my April Buddies...finally have the internet back on again at our house (still in SC).. No the house hasn't sold yet but we are trusting the Lord for that in His timing.
I am so happy to be back and to see the friends that helped me from before my surgery and after.
You all were surely missed. Hope everyone is well. And those who are so busy they don't get on, check in and let us know how you are doing.
California Girl...glad to see you on here again. Where is April and and she better let us know how the baby inside is growing.
Love you all,
Joan M
