Happy December Everyone!!

Hi everyone! I found this sight a couple of weeks ago and I can't believe all of the support I've gotten and how great I feel about my weight loss since meeting you-my May 2004 peers. I do post to the regular board but there are so many people on that sight that sometimes you just get lost. Anywho--Thanks for the support!! Today I weigh in at 209-that's -90lbs since surgery and -116 since my preop visit. I'm doing the exercise-80gm protein and 1000-1200cal a day is my goal cuz that is the range where I seem to get more weight loss. I'm really keeping track and I'm bringing in daily records for my dietician. I so love this time of year in northern Minnestota and I might even be able to join my family in skiing-skating-sledding without having the fear of breaking the ice. I've always loved the SWEATER season too. I covers more I feel anyway. Nice to meet all of you and best of Luck to you all!! Penny B

Hi Penny, I'm glad you found us here. I met several May surgery folks at Christmas gatherings for my state that didn't know the May board existed. Maybe we'll grow some more before our year anniversaries. I too love this time of year. I'm loving sweaters for a different reason this year though. I'm loving wearing them nice and tight and showing off my new figure. Christie

Hi Christie! Nice to meet you!! We have an unofficial support group that gets together where I live because of convenience. We've all had surgery at various times so its nice to come to a sight to compare the stages of weight loss. Congrats on your success by the way!! Penny
