Hello July Babies!

Just wanted to drop a note of hello! I'm still here... lurking more than anything else. My weight is around the same... I bounce between 216 & 220. Still hoping to one day make to onederland, but in the meantime, I'm just enjoying life. My daughter is doing well, she starts high school the fall. My dating life is awesome, I'm considering marriage again. Taking a page from Teah. Although I'm very gun shy... didn't enjoy marriage the first time around. Anyway.. just wanted to say hello and love you guys oh so much!!! Hugs! Denise

Hi Denise and everyone else, Denise, I'm so glad you're happy and life is good for you - you deserve it!!! I'm kind of lurking too. Still struggling to keep my weight in line and fighting the 'overeating' demons. I'm exercising more and I think that's helping. I'm really looking forward to the Spring so I can get out and walk - I've been using the treadmill and I'm not a big fan of that. Anyhow, love you all and even though I'm not posting a lot, I'm here and thinking of you all!! Hugs, Nancy

Hi Denise!!! Hi Nancy!!! I've been lurking more than anything as well. Trying to keep busy with work and stop procrastinating, like I'm doing now. I'm still hovering around 183, despite my hardwork and exercise. I gave up on the exercise about a month ago, but I have a buddy and she suggested a cycling class which we are supposed to do today. I have no motivation though. I worked out religiously from October through January and still I stay at 183...it could be worse though, so I don't want to complain. Denise, I'm so glad to know that things are going great on the dating front. Marriage is a wonderful thing. We have our struggles, but so far so good. Who know's the second time around may be a good thing. I wish you the best. Please keep us informed if you do decide to tie the knot, I want to see all the pictures, cause I know you'll be beautiful. My sweetie and I are contemplating a trip to Niagara falls for our anniversary in July. Its absolutely, positively, so cheap. From Ohare, we could spend 3 days and 2 nights there for as low as 175 per person, including rental car and airfare. July seems to be my month, lots of good things happen during that month for me. Take Care, Teah

Hey Dana! Thanks for the words of wisdom! I heard about a woman on the WLS Grads board that had a lap band put on her RNY stomach and it worked well for her. Check out the WLS Grad board. All the best!! Denise
