Hey everyone.

I just wanted to say hi to everyone. I ahve been out of touch for about 3 weeks. I was getting some personal things acomplished. Anyways I had my 8 month check up and I am doing great! I have lost 180lbs so far. Well, I just wanted to say hi and see how everyone is doing. I ahve not talked to ANYONE , so I hope noone is mad at me for not keeping in touch..Talk to you all soon, God bless..

OH YES, we are all angry with you for not emailing each and everyone of us HEY, my good man. Glad to hear your doing so good on your weight loss. Your still a head of me. I have only lost 150lbs but I'm not complaining. Did I tell you I cut my retail job loss? Best thing I ever did but now I'm bored sitting around the house on my days off or on the days I get off early from my other job. It's funny how we have ZERO energy when we are obese and then we drop all this weight and have so much energy we don't know what to do with it I might look for a seasonal job with another retail store, maybe WalMart as they pay more then a lot of these retail stores in my neck of the woods. You take care and you better keep in touch a little more then once a month Hugs Donna 338/188 -150

Hi, Ron Good to see you on here. No one will be mad at you. Because of this surgery I think all of us have developed a huge busy social life. I'm always busy, always on the go too. Congrats on the weight loss, you are doing fabulous!!!!!! I'm right behind you. The scale stalled for a few weeks then I lost 5 lbs over night. -178 so far. I feel great except this awful toothache I've had for 4 days. Well I got your email forward about the gas prices. That is a good idea. I only get my gas from Phillips 66 but I don't know who they are affiliated with. Have a great week! Kelly

Hello Ron. I don't post here much as I post on the Over Fifty Forum daily. But I think of the December crew each day. We are all doing very well indeed. I have finally broken my plateau and now am down 101 lbs and I feel wonderful. You have done exceptionally well with your loss. I still hope to lose another 60-70 lbs, but even if I don't I would never trade these past 9 months for anything. My journey is wonderful and I am so thankful. I can eat anything I chose, get that word chose, I am in control and that is so empowering. I still drink 1-2 protein shakes a day and I take my Optsource vitamins and some extra B complex. Being 58 I am concerned about some of my focus issues and my doctors feel that extra B will be helpful for cognitive factors. I am finally enjoying my life and doing so much more than I ever dreamed. Thankful thankful thankful. Good losing to all of you. Monica
