Just checking in to say HI!

Hey Everyone - Just popped on the website and caught up with everyone's great progress. Aren't we the bomb-diggity! Great to "hear" everyone's updates. I haven't been on the website in weeks, I'm team rep for our community swim team, my son coaches and my daughter swims and I am always at the pool. I'm weighing in at 152 now, down from 268. The weight is coming off so slow now, it seems that I am alot hungrier. But still trying to stick with the 70 grams of protein and 30 carbs. And still trying hard not to eat after 8 pm. I want to lose 16 more and I know I will eventually! I'm still going to the gym and doing the elliptical and on Mondays and Thursdays I take an adult swim class that my son is teaching, it's from 7-8 pm and is very humbling! I am slow but I feel so good about myself. My long term goal is to complete a sprint triathlon by Spring 2006. Had my consultation for PS on June 24. I love the doctor, total confidence in him but pricey. He recommends a circumferential abdominoplasty, breast reduction/lift and brachioplasty. The arms will almost definitely have to wait since insurance won't cover. Oh also, my gastric bypass surgeon will be doing a gigantic hernia repair at the same time. I'm hoping insurance will cover some of the breast/TT surgery but the plastic surgeon isn't hopeful. I'll report back when I know more. Well that's it for now. I took off work today to clean my house and I'm off to scrub my bathrooms! XO, Sandy
