6 month Anniversary too

I just joined this group at the recommendation of my support group here locally. Since I run my own business it is difficult for me to always make the meetings and I really feel I need them at times. I feel I am successful at my 6 month mark, June 2, 2004. I have lost a total of 71 lbs to date and am being told that I need to think about a maintaining my current weight and slow the weight loss somewhat. The greatest thing is that during my last diabetic check up my doctor didn't make a diabetitic follow up appointment for 3 months. What? No longer diabetic? YEAH !!! I no longer sleep with a c-pap machine or snore so I am told. My goals for my health are being met. I do have one post op complication to date. I am having to see a physical therapist due to loosing so much weight around my pelvic region that my SI joint keeps slipping out of place due to poor muscle tone. So--------- my goal is, get to the gym and work on that toning...

Hi there Deb Congradulations on your great weight loss to you. Keep up the good work. Good luck to you also going to the therapist for you pelvic problems. It seems after me losing 92 lbs my poor knees are giving me hell. If it is one problem it is another. Again GOOD LUCK TO YOU GIRL. Lorraine

Happy anniversary Deb! It's mine too! Tracy
