Hi Darrol, How are you? I am sorry to hear about the big D. I am going through the same thing, except my husband is contesting, making it very hard for me. We have been separated 20 years and he just won't let go. He knows I have met someone and I am looking for a new life with my boyfriend. I will be moving in with him Aug 1st. If I get my divorce now or later, I will be with him. I also have my health and good friends. I am stable between 135lbs -145lbs. I am 5ft6 and tall and slim. Life is grand. I will be having the LBL next year. Boy oh Boy....The skin hanging is a bit much. With my clothes on I look great, What can you do . You just can't have it all. I guess I will take the slim saggy gal. Take care and hoping to hear from all you guys. I have a July apppointment for my 2 and a half year checkup. Do you believe it's been that long? Happy Memorial Day to all ((((((HUGS))))))))) & Lorraine

Hello my fellow Decemberites. I hope all is well with you. Divorce has knocked on my door and so I am ending a 23 year marriage. I am the healthiest that I have been in many years and have lost 189 pounds so far. The stress is helping me lose a few more pounds now but that's ok I could stand to lose about 20 more pounds. So I have my health, happiness and friend's life is good and I see the light at the end of the tunnel. I did the first round of plastics a month ago when I had my eyes done. The TT will be done in August or so. As always you can view my photos at the www link. Have a great day, week, month, year....you deserve it. Darrol

Non****here. You are in my prayers for a healthy and happy life. I am sorry to hear you are not well. Just remember I will think of you ok? (((((((((((HUGS))))))))))) Lorraine

Hi Lorraine, I'm not doing too well yet. I tire very easily. I don't eat much, which is probably a good thing. I've very selective on my food choices. I have terrible pain all the time and chronic fatigue, fevers and sore throats. I know, in time, I will get better, but it is going to take a long time. Thanks for asking. Nona

I'm the last person to tell anyone, since I never lost my last 50 lbs, but due to my terrible health, I work with dr's galore, nutritionists and PT's and this is how I eat. Lean, low fat protien. 2,low fat, no sugar , protein shakes a day. Only whole wheat carbs and very very little of them. No sugar at all. Soup has a lot of sodium so you could be retainting fluid as does popcorn. Loose the bacon and corn beef and put in fresh fruit and a slice of low carb whole wheat bread. Lose the soups and eat fresh meats, salads galore. Snacks should be veggies or fresh fruit and never closer than 3 hours before bed. NO SODA. Even diet is bad for you. It makes you retain fluid and crave sugar. As I said, I work with about 6 different dr's due to my health, Physical Therepists and nutritionists. I eat 2 or 3 meals a day, with a tiny snack. I do, occasionally, have a treat of 2 sugar free Milano cookies, but not often. Hope that helps. Nona
