Topic: You have a mission... TO read ALL of this if possible!
 A few things, plz, I tend to say allot so do read through it to what I am curious about. First and foremost I have been at the same weight for about 9 months now and it is driving me nuts. Is there such a thing as maximum weight loss for us? I have tried every kind of eating weighs to get it going again but my body has just said enough is enough on the weight loss. Considering I HAVE LOST 263 POUNDS, and YES THAT IS 263 lost. My body will not let me loose any more. It sucks being stuck here looking like a mushroom with all this middle body skin I have. SO if anyone had exp this I would love to hear about it. BUT now I have taken madders into my own hands and went and saw a plastic surgeon that takes my Inc. Well he said I am very much ready for the next Sep WOHOOO!! Can you believe it. 2 years ago at 463 pounds I never thought I would ever be where I am now. If you lift up the skin on my tummy and move it I have hips, I can see and feel my bones and I am skinny under it. It is going by by in hopefully the next 3 or 4 weeks. They took picks. How much did it suck for some of you having nakiee picks taken of you knowing that several people will be looking at them? Of course for "MEDICAL" purposes only but still.... Nakie with all my mushroom skin showing in all its non glory. Besides that all those dam rashes under the tummy and between the leg skin is about driving ne nuts as well. I have sooo much skin there I can literally pull out some of it literally over a foot from my body. Anyone have any good suggestions on what to do about the rashes? I have this ointment the Dr proscribes that barley works. And the itching is about killing me much less embarrassing for me. I have been posting here for 3 years now so many of you remember my prior ramblings. Well I have been away for a while. Loosing weight, being sick like usual, having 4 more surgeries since my last post and overall so dam depressed about it all preferring to never leave my bed much less bedroom lately. I am sure some of you can relate to that as well. And plz I DO NOT want sympathy from anyone... just understanding. I always have something wrong with me and always will. So no sympathy allowed. My spinal cord surgery went very well though the recovery has been a bitc@ like usual for me. I parked my 4 1/2 year best friend that most people call an electric wheel chair permanently in the garage on April 3 2010. NO madder how much pain or dizziness I have I have promised myself to never get it out again. Our relationship has ended and I never want to have it again no madder how much pain I am in. Anyway. If you made it readying this far you are a better person than me. But then I warned you about my normalized babbling for me anymore. It was your choice to put up with me this far and I do appreciate it. If you have any thoughts or comments on my babblings I would appreciate it. Just remember the instructions PLEASE NO sympathy allowed. I am sooo much more fucke@ up than I have written but then you would have to real through hours of my babblings to understand it all. Or if you are that masochistic to know then just go read my blog here in OH. It is a few hours read and it starts from the bottom of the pages not the top. I wish you luck if you so choose to take that assignment on. You shall receive nothing in the end but more feelings of sympathy for me I have no desire to hear about please. But any other kinds of comments are appreciated. Besides for those new people in here that are considering the life we have chosen they might learn a few things in it. Though they might also learn a few things they did not want to know as well. Anyway my tortures

Topic: Thinking about relocating
I'm thinking about relocating from my 125 populous southwestern MN town.

I'm looking at possibly southwest Colorado. I'm looking for a town 3000-4000 in population with 1 or 2 banks (I'm a banker) and a law office either in town or nearby that my wife can work at (she is a legal assistant).

Any suggestions?

Topic: WEIGHT LOSS BASIC TIPS
You lose weight by first setting an attainable goal, like 10,000 steps a day and no food after 8:00 pm. Then, second, make small changes every day. It’s really true that slow and steady wins the race in weight loss.

You begin with physical activity like dancing when Dr. Oz does, walking in place during the show, and doing push-ups during the commercials. Increase your activity level by making simple changes like choosing to take the stairs instead of the elevator or the escalator.

Is your support group open to anyone? Is it free? I has surgery last week, Jan 4th and feel I need a support group to join. Would that be ok?
