MAY BOARD ... WHERE ARE THE MEMBERS

A year ago .. this board was jumpin .. I know with the weight loss your lives all get going and things begin to move faster.. but there are some folks out there I have not seen in a long time .. WHERE IS EVERYONE .. COME BACK - COME BACK.. THIS IS OUR BIRTHDAY MONTH .. Huggles .. Pix

I don't know where everyone else is, but I am at the gym trying to knock off those last 30 pounds!

Well keep on rocking ... Empty and you will get there .. trust me .. Best wishes to you .. Nat

Here I am. I lurk a lot but read everyday. Thanks for all you do for this board and for OH. You're a great inspiration. As of today I'm down 125 lbs. and feeling great. Melissa 270/145/130? 5'2''

Thanks Melissa .. you have done great .. and ya know it is how you feel that matters too . I for one.. feel great too .. and would not change a thing ... about this surgery .. It has been one heck of a ride . Take care .. Natalie

I'm new to this board...but I think it's great to be able to share our journey with others that had their surgery in May of 2004. Teri

I'm staying close by. I have been stuck at 150 since Feb. Tried different things, but these last 15 lbs must really like me. Happy Anniversary to everyone. Keep up the great work. Every one of you are awesome. tina 236/150/135

I AM HERE>>>I AM HERE!!! I know I am a lurker most of the time...I do faithfully read the messages 1-2x a day though. I have a little one at home and I also started selling on eBay so my replies usually are only in my head and rarely make it to the computer...SORRY!! I will tell everyone that if you all have a lot of big clothes that are just clogging up your house....start selling them on eBay....I am shocked at how much they are in demand and how much more I get for them versus a garage sale. I would gladly give some to someone in our situation if they lived close by but it hasn't happened. Tomorrow is my 1st RE-BIRTHDAY!!! WHat a ride this has been....and the only thing I might have changed if I could go back is to take more advantage of my first 6mo. If I would have exercised and drank my protein faithfully...then I wouldn't be sitting here struggling to get off the last 18lbs. Although.....I will GLADLY keep these 18lbs over going back to how I was before. I am doing wonderful overall....except a few emotional issues. I guess for so long I blamed everything wrong in my life on my weight. I figured that once I lost it all my life would be perfect. WELLLLL...that just isn't the case as we all have found out. I get down sometimes...I am trying to deal with it though. I have lost 112lbs and I have gone from a size 22/24 & 3X tops to a size 8 and med tops...LIFE IS GRAND!!! BY the way...I just hit size 8 the other day....woohoo!!!!!!!!!!!! I love reading about everyone and I pray we continue to keep this board up....you are all like family. HUGS....
