Hi Everyone!

Long time I know, I'm sorry. I've been so busy with 5yr old triplets, working full time and I also own a fertility/parenting website too so my life is crazy. Everything is good otherwise, my weight is at 144, I'm not actively trying to lose anymore but will lose about 1lb every 4-5 months now which is fine. I still go to the gym all the time and work hard to maintain. I was in a fashion show for my bariatric clinic in July and it was a blast! We modeled 3 outfits on the runway and was escorted in a formal gown by my surgeon while they read my thank you letter to him, it was so awesome! Just thought I'd pop in and say hi and let everyone know I'm still around. Janette, I pray for you all the time and will continue to do so! Nancy, I'm so so sorry to hear about your mother, you are in my thoughts. Pamela, I know what your going through, we were trying for 6 years and had many many treatments and succeeded with in-vitro finally. My best friend and I started a fertility/parenting site with a very active message board. Most of the women have gone through fertility treatments, some still doing them but we have a wonderful group of women who genuinely care for each other, if you'd like to join us just let me know, we'd love to have you and its nice to go through it with people who have been there. Anyway, I hope everyone had a nice Thanksgiving today. Take care and happy holidays! Hugs, Deejay 262/144 (6 below goal!) 1/06 - TT, BL/BA, Thigh Lift, Lipo

DeeJay, You look so awesome!! Glad to hear you are doing so well. My question is how do you get them to do the avatar the way yours does--original and changes to current? It really makes a dramatic statement. Monna

Thanks Monna, I actually made that avatar myself using animation shop, I don't think OH will do them like that but I'm not sure. Deejay

Tell me where your group is! I'd love to drop by. IVF is out of my price-range, so if IUIs don't work, one child is all we'll ever have. According to the nurse at my RE's office, there is NOTHING keeping me from getting pregnant. It's just a matter of time and God's will, she says. I'm glad to hear you're doing well! We very rarely get to hear from those who were so active here in the beginning. It's nice to get updates. Pamela

YAY! We'd love to have you! The address is www.chattinaboutbabies.com and we're a private community due to the nature of female and fertility details ya know so just register a username (I don't think we've ever had a Pamela so its probably available) and when you do it will tell me so I can approve your membership. Then you can just join in and chat away with us. We keep track of cycle dates and have a ton of resources and personal experiences to share and best of all, the most wonderful group of women you could find. I've been chatting with most of them daily about life and everything in it since 1999. They are awesome and I know you'll love it there! Hugs, Deejay

I signed on as July Butterfly. Original, aren't I?

Hi Deejay! It's so nice to see you here! You are doing fantastic - how do you maintain? I still have some issues with food - comfort, stress-eating etc., so I am back to struggling to lose or even to maintain. Bummer..... I wish I could get a tummy tuck - I've got to have at least 8-10 lbs. hanging around there, but insurance won't cover and I just can't get myself into any more debt. Still, I'm WAY better off than I was 100 lbs ago and I thank God for the blessing of this surgery. Keep well and keep in touch! Love ya! Nancy
