Nancy- You are the best cheerleader on this board. We really have got things moving here lately with lots of new posts every day. I think it is great. That we can all come here and see what is "normal" for everyone is so helpful. We all may come from different walks of life but are headed down the same path for now. MichiGirl

Nancy, Thanks for the inspiration. You made me stop and realize just how much I've come in under 5 months. Not only did I loose my first 100+ pounds, my attitude and outlook on life is changing by the day. I am slowly coming out of my shell (per say) and this has made my wife much happier b/c I've been much more fun to hang around with lately. LOL. We are doing things now instead of me being a hermit... Now for the great NEWS which goes a bit beyond the "life Style change" We just found out Wednesday we are going to have our first child... Yes, she is pregnant. I'm still trying to swallow this and I have to admit I'm crossed between happy, nervous and most of all scared to death. I've been with her for 7 years married 5 of those years back in October of this year and all she's ever wanted was a child. I'm blaming this on the recent weight loss and GYM activity which has made me so much better in the sex area... LOL sorry for being so blunt, but it's the truth. Anyway I wanted to share this with my OH family and especially the June 06 buddies. I too, am proud on how well everyone is succeeding in our new life, everyone lets keep up the good work. It definitely pays off. Thanks Frank

Hey, hey, Ben - I'm trying to remember what I ate yesterday. Today I've been hungry and eating more than usual - good things - but I'm at my average for calories and have hit 90 grams protein already. Have to eat light tonight! Friday: B - protein shake S - 8 soy crisps and 1 cheese stick L - split a meal with friend at Olive Garden - 1/2 chicken and veggie skewer which consisted 2 little 1" chunks potato, 1 2oz chunk chicken, squash and peppers, 3/4 bread stick, 1/4 cup salad, one bite of spinach articoke dip. S - 1 cheese stick & 6 soy crisps D - ??

Thank you Nancy, Thank you for being so supportive to us as well. We have all lost weight and through it all we have been here to listen and support each other. Awaiting, I think that was your name that said we should all get together at some place in 2007 I think that is a wonderful idea too. We could meet and "see" who we have been chatting with and maybe take heavy pictures with us while waring our new bodies we will have by next year. Hugss to you all from me Amy

Wow Daniel, you are on fire. Send some of that enthusiasm my way won't ya. Ben
