Hi Everyone, It's nice to see people still check in on this board! Maribelm you and I had surgery on the same day. Congrats on the new baby. It must have been tough to lose while pregnant. Just continue to follow the "rules" and I'm sure you will continue. Even with the weight you have lost just think how much more you will be able to do with your children! Kathleen, Tara, it's so nice to continue to hear from you too. Tara you made me laugh when you signed your name "the fat one" I guess we have all "settled" at a comfortable weight...now the challenge is to keep it there...sigh....there is always a challenge isn't there. I am doing well. It's so nice to be able to walk properly since I got my knees done. I call myself the bionic woman. Keep adding...and taking away parts. I don't think I will be getting plastics though. Too expensive. I will just have to continue to hide the extra skin. I got a dog a couple of weeks ago. A cute little terrier. Now I am getting out and walking more. Her name is Cookie. She is so cute and she is about the same size as my cat. They get along well together. My kids are doing well. My son was laid off for a while but he is back to work thank goodness....he has 3 boys (8,4 and 3). I hope you all stay well! I love to hear from everyone. Fran

I am doing ok. I overeat, but still manage to stay around 165 to 169. I wish I was where you guys are, but I am ok with this weight. Still for my height "overweight" though. (5'6")Everyone says I look good - so who knows.I dump all the time, never puke anymore, Kathleen, maybe you have a stricture??? That's why I puked, but then I got it fixed and never lost any more weight. Can you believe I lost almost 100 lbs in 11 weeks then never lost any more....still seems crazy to me. My hair never did come back in very well, if you've seen my post, I had very long thick hair, it's still really thin and for some reason frizzy, it's weird. My family life is ok. It was my hubby and my 7th anniversary today, but I had to work all day. So, we went out for dinner. I couldn't eat much which is still good - Because I sure eat a lot more all day than I should - but - I have never drank a pop since two weeks before surgery!!! My daughter that got married last July 4th is happy and doing well, we go to college together. (Algebra...it sucks...sorry) My autistic son is doing ok, and my middle son is always having difficulties, but not too bad - just failing some classes...:( No drugs or anything, yet. Oldest son works with kids with disabilities and is doing well - he's the one who weighs about 450 lbs. Sure wish he'd have surgery. But he won't. Kathleen, I am so happy for you, I would so love to have a grandbaby, Nia, Ill bet she is gorgeous, like you are. I love you guys for your efforts at keeping us together!!!! Please don't ever give up on us losers!!!Love to allThe fattest one - Tara
