Hi June Bugs!

Hi everyone, Just checking in. I'm doing well, but in the last month or so I have started to gain a few pounds. My health is great though and I'm feeling pretty good. Carla

Hi Carla! Glad to hear that you are feeling good. As for the weight gain, I know how it is. I had been down to 166 at one point, but somewhere along the way I gained some and have been staying around 175 for quite a while now. I'm sure that if I were to go back to basics and really be conscious of what I'm eating - and maybe even exercise some, I would start to lose weight again. I just don't have the motivation right now. I'm feeling pretty good and am so pleased that I'm in "normal size" clothes, so I'm really not unhappy! Having lost over 120 lbs, I now am starting to live life more. I've joined the Red Hat Society where I am making some new friends, and I'm also learning how to make beaded jewelry. My life may be more than half over (I will be 56 in August), but that doesn't mean I can't do things to enjoy my life! I don't think I'd have this attitude if I hadn't had the WLS. My next thing is to decide about is if I am brave enough to have a tummy tuck and thigh lift - that is, if I can find a way to afford it! Well, I hope everyone else is doing well. ~~ Ilene Rachel
