I just wanted to say good morning to you all, hope you all have a wonderful Wednesday.

Hey, everyone! So glad we're having a mini reunion here and so glad to hear everyone is doing so well. Starting weight: 247.5 Surgery weight: 245.5 Today's weight: 160.0 Goal weight: 145.0 Total lost to date: 87.5 I've been on a plateau for several months now. Can't blame anyone but myself. I can say that I've pretty much maintained. When I see the scales going up a couple of pounds, I cut back and lose it quickly. Deep inside I want to lose another 15 pounds but know that I'll have to start exercising again. Several months ago I had a hernia that kept me from most types of exercise. Well, I don't have that excuse anymore as I've had that repaired. It is just a matter of getting back into a routine. I've dug out my exercise dvds and just need to set a schedule for myself. My life seems to have decided to spin out of control these days. Just when I think maybe things will settle down, my world starts spinning even faster. Don't think I told y'all that hubby has a new job on St. Croix, Virgin Islands. He is already there. I've been packing and sorting through stuff we'll want to take as the job can last anywhere from one year to eight. The company he's working for will ship whatever we want over. Anyhow, I'm going to spend two months with him, February and March. Then, because of commitments, I'll come home for three more months before I go join him permanently the first week in July. My daughter and her boyfriend just announced that they are pregnant. I'm going to be a grandmother, although I've already informed my daughter I want to be called "Nanna". I'll be planning a bridal shower for sometime in April. Christy and Chad will be married on May 26th. The next day, May 27th, my baby boy will graduate from high school. Then the month of June I will be having my first artshow. July I will fly to St. Croix to join my dear hubby. Then in August I'll fly home to throw a baby shower and will visit until the baby is born sometime in September. Between all this, I have paintings to complete to sell at my artshow, two clients to finish drawings for, and a book to edit that will most likely get published this next year. Phew! My prayer..."Please, dear God! Don't add anything else to my schedule this year. I'm already worn out just thinking about everything that has to be done!" Ah, I feel a shopping spree coming on! My new escape from reality. Peggy B. www.peggyborel.com

Here are my stats: Pre-op weight: 241 Dr's Goal weight: 135 Weight as of 1/22: 140 I'd love to be 130, but the scales haven't moved in 3 freakin months, grrrrrrrrrrrrr

Just wanted to say hi and tell you to keep that chin up. You are doing good amazing and should feel very proud of yourself. Good luck with your testing. LisaMarie
