UPDATE!!!! Does anyone remember me?

Hello Georgia Board!!! I just wanted to let everyone know that I have finished practical nursing school, passed my state licensure test (only took me and hour and six minutes to complete the exam) and have my license. I have also gotten my first nursing job. A dream job for a newbie. 8 to 5 Mon-Fri. I will be in charge of the adult day health program at the nursing home here in my hometown. I am so excited. I had my two year anniversary on Feb 2. I am down to 180 from 329. Contemplating a tummy tuck. I have a consulatation, so we shall see how that goes. How is everyone? I kinda got away from the boards for a long time. Studying for tests, completing care plans,going to clinicals and taking care of my two kids was wearing me out, even with the weight loss. I was lurking, just never posting. Maybe that will change. If any of you oldies remember me, shoot me an email. And any newbies are welcome. Hope everyone is doing well. Huggsss all around!!! Tonya Waters LPN P.S. I love my job title.

I know you are proud. Congratulations on Graduation!!!! I'm doing good. I have lost 160 pounds....I'm 190 from 350. My 2 year anniversary will be in August. I would like to lose more...been stuck at 190 for a LONG time.

Congratulations!!! I remember you and you have come a long way. Good for you. I have been lurking. I will be 2 years March 7th and have not lost any this past year. I have not gone to any support meetings but I have been busy creating jewelry and establishing my web site. I am at a stand still of 200 lbs and definitely want to lose the rest. Since the site is completed and I am established, I will get back on track. Hope to see you at a gathering soon Mary
