Well I think I had my moment...actually a couple of them. First one is I can now see daylight between my thighs....I don't even remember that when I was in grade school! The second is I took hubby to his surgeon today and caught him looking at my boobs! Not that it offended hubby any, he was flattered! So was I, John (the surgeon, I have known him for years before he became a doctor) has always been good looking and not that much older then I am. He also said I look really good. Talk about a WOW when a doctor is looking down your shirt. Happy losing all, Brooke

Hi, I'm glad you are feeling better. Your weight loss has been wonderful, too! To get to your profile. Go to My Account at the top right of the screen. Log in. When done, this will take you to the profile update page. Good luck! Pat

I thought I would post this to everyone.. There is a really cool tool I heard about way back when on this site.. if any of you would like to check it out.. it kinda helps you figure out what percentage weight loss track you are on.. it's a nice projector.. at least for me it has been. Go to http://www.thinnerself.com/ -Click on the "Chart your Weight" button.. fill the chart out with whatever data you have.. -If you then click on the "calculate current %" it will do the math for you based on your own weight loss.. which is really neat.. -if you then click on the "create report" button it creates this nifty little report so you can see where you are at in the process. -Warning.. the report also gives advice about how much protein and water you should intake according to your exercise level.. and well.. it's kinda astronomical.. so don't mind to that so much.. but the other parts of the report are super cool. -And if you don't delete your cookies on a regular basis.. and you save the page to your favorites.. it remembers the data you enter so you don't have to do that over and over again on later dates. Have fun April

Just don't give up, please. I am in therapy and take medication for my depression. Our road CAN be lonely, and it can frustrate us. Try some therapy if you possibly can, either with a therapist or with a minister. We DESERVE to have that wonderful life that is ahead of us! HUGS, Pat

Its been a long time since I've posted anything and I can't figure out how to add to my profile page so thought I would do it here. My surgery was Dec. 30, 2005 which all went fine but I developed complications including a heart problem which was found because of the complications I had in which I ended up back in the hospital for another week in January 2006. It's been a long process and I'm just finally feeling better and getting back to a somewhat regular routine. In these last four months I have lost 70 pounds and am off all blood pressure, allergy medicine, and prozac which I had been on for about 12 years and never could get off of any of it. I was also on oxygen therapy mostly at night for over a year and could not get along without it and now I haven't needed that for over 2 weeks. This is all incredible to me and I am very grateful this has happened and look forward to a better live that I had. When I knew I had to do the surgery I thought ok in three weeks I will be back to work never realizing it would be over three months I would be out of work but I am a firm believer things happen for reasons and it is all for my own good. None of it was easy but the out come is worth it. Also could someone let me know how to update my profile page. Thank you !
