Dennis I think that is a great idea - I am in. I have noticed myself loosing focus and drifting but with a goal I'll be able to re-focus and work towards it. Definitely count me in!! Ann

Well folks it is down to the wire...lets form a group to get the last of our weight off for those who are approaching that goal......for the others...just hang in there and it will happen...what are suggestions to make it fun and something different or new? Don't forget we are going to have our Reunion in October...we still have not decided on a place...so I am opting for Disneyland, California....come on lets get down to the wire and do it ... Dennis

Thanks to the 15 folks that responded to the poll from Friday. Collectively we've lost One Thousand Five Hundred Eighty-Three and One-Half Pounds (1583.5). Amazing, eh? What a great journey! Thanks to everyone for sharing their information. Stay on your healthy paths and keep up the great work!!! Kellie

Hi Octoberites, I've been moving and starting a new job and not at the computer very much. That doesn't mean I don't miss you and that I don't need the support of my friends anymore. I am at goal. I had my 7-month anniversary on June 3. I wrote a nice long post about the changes and my computer ate it during an Internet Explorer error. Wish I'd saved it, but I might just write it again. Life is good. I feel GREAT. I can walk anywhere I want to walk. I can sit in the bathtub when I feel like it. I can get on the floor and do stuff without grabbing onto the furniture to get me back up again. I do not eat sugar. I do dump. I have only dumped once and intend to keep it that way. I read every label every time and I always ask before I eat restaurant food, as to how many grams of sugar are in what I'm about to eat. I have trouble with rice, so I don't eat it. I have trouble with noodles, so I don't eat them. I have trouble with mushrooms that don't seem to be able to be chewed enough to ever stay down. I take my vitamins every day. I get my protein in every day, although it's usually a Profect because it's easy even though it's expensive. I'm not a shake person even if it was a "real" milkshake. I'm still working on getting all my fluids in, but I'm better than I was before. I keep a Propel with me at all times. It's got 2g sugars in 8 ounces, but if I drink it and I don't dump -- then it's all good. I also drink Fruit 2-0 and Aquafina Splash. I put in for my Century Card, but I think it takes a while. I hope all of you are doing well, feeling well, losing weight and enjoing life. Cheryl Fobi Pouch surgery 10/3/05 240/139 AT GOAL

Good for you!!!! Don't it just feel great. I couldn't wait to get my 100lb century club card on my profile. It felt like an Ocar for me. Way to go Jane
