Newbie to the board

Greetings Everyone, I am so excited about finding this August 2005 message board. I had my surgery on August 4, 2005 and I have only lost 69lbs. I am a little disappointed with my self as would have thought that I would be a little further out by this time. Nevertheless I am really excited about finding this message board I have been reading through some of the post's and I noticed that you have established a monthly goals post and I can't wait to post my goals for the month of April hope I can still do it I know the deadline was March 25th but I am praying that you can make an exception in my case. I am very glad to have found a GREAT group of people. God Bless!!!!

Welcome, Lady J. I am sure Donna will make an exception to the deadline. I hope you become a regular on the board. We also have a daily exercise post that keeps us accountable. We welcome you to join that as well. As far as losing 69 pounds, it is better that 59 pounds! LOL! I have only lost 82 when a lot on this board has lost so much more. Again, welcome!!! God Bless, Sherry 276/194/130-140

Welcome to the board. Come on in!!! I don't post often but I do drop by and add my 2 cents every now and then and the people on this board are very supportive. Don't worry about "ONLY" losing 69 lbs - just think, would you have lost it w/ out surgery?

Thank you so much Keisha.
