Hi Everyone!!

Just wanted to stop in and say hello. I have been so busy or either not able to get online until I have not posted in a while. Just a quick update: October 2005 : 320 (beginning of the journey) May 10, 2006 : 306lbs (last weigh in before 5/19 surgery) July 7, 2006 : 279lbs Life is wonderful..... I have more energy now than ever. I even went power shopping in Manhattan over the 4th of July holiday. I actually climbed 4 flights of stairs and didn't need oxygen (one flight I was talking on the cellphone....) God is good..... Hopefully I will put my journey on the losing side in soon...... (I have kept a journal, so it will be a transferor info...)

Hey Sherice....happy to hear about your lost. I had surgery on May 1 2006... My starting weight was 351....I weighed in this morning at 289lbs. I am one of the happiest people you can see right now. My weight lost is a little bit faster because of my height is what my doctor explained.... I know you wondering how tall is she.... 6'2.. I love beening tall....and just imagine once I am down to 200 lbs.... I will feel like a queen. keep up the good work and I would love to read your journey.....K

You are doing more than wonderful...I did not recognize that you had lap band surgery...I had gastric bypass.....thats alittle more extreme.. You are doing the damn thing...keep up the good work.........K
