Long time...no post

Shame on me for not posting more. I am so guilty of getting busy with my new healthy lifestyle that I have forgotton to post and see how all you Dec. 2003 folks are doing. Its obvious to me that we are doing good since many of us don't post as much. We are out and about intead of just sitting. I have lost 139 lbs and am into a size 3/4...WOW! This time last year I was happy to be in a 12-14. I did not think I would be this size. I am anxiously awaiting approval from my insurance for a TT. I am in no rush...I would like to have it done like in August of this year if possible. I am happy to say I took the training to be an obesityhelp support group leader and hold meetings in my local area. Its amazing how many folks wanna know more about this wls. I am loving life and am doing new things everyday. I just got my motorcycle permit and my hubby bought me a motorcycle! Yes, can you believe it...I never thought I would be riding a motorcycle. Best to all of you here....would love to here what is new with you all too! Karie

Hi there Karie, I am thrilled you are doing so well. I have not had a computer so I have not been on either. I am loving life also. Good to hear you are now a group leader for the obesity help support. Keep us posted and stop in and say hi. Don't ride too fast on that motorcycle. I have lost about 115 pds and now I weigh anywhere from 130-133 lbs. I am trying to maintain. I am 5ft6 and now wearing a size 6. Take care girl and keep up the great work to all. Lorraine

I admit..........I don't visit the December 03 board as much as I should. Thankfully, I am maintaining my 118 weight but I feel like I am constantly eating to do so. I wear 0's and 2's and have even bought a couple of shirts in the girls section at Old Navy. I'm still not sure when to get the gall bladder out -- the stones are small.......so far. I need a LBL really bad but can't do so without the help of insurance. Everything is great, though. My daughter comes home from college this Friday so it will be wonderful to have her around. Tomorrow AM comes early.....so everyone have a good nite! Ruthanna
