Checking in

Hi eveyone. I have not been on much lately, nor have I had time to post or respond I'm sorry for that, but the reason is because I got my job at the hospital as an Office Assistant in the Rehab and Wellness Department. Between that and trying to finish my last semester of college, my kids and hubby, I'm so busy It's great but there are a few things I'm already missing. LOL. I feel as if I could have NEVER accomplished this without all of those who helped with interview suggestions and support, and I thank you all for that! Physically, I'm doing good. Slow loosing, but good. I am down to 202 lbs from an all time high of 306 lbs, and 280 lbs the day of surgery November 3rd. I feel FULL of energy and happiness now. I can do SO many things! I had to walk ALL OVER the hospital and outside back and forth from Human Resources building to Hosp. etc... and I NEVER got tired! That was amazing to me. I want those of you who are going through rough times with yourselves or your family members, or your friends.... you are in my prayers. I am so sad that I don't have the time I used to in order to keep up with everyone, but KNOW you are in my thoughts! Hoping you are all happy and well Happy Easter (to those that celebrate) (((HUGS))) Tammy

Tammy, I have a question for you. I believe it was you that commented on the protein samples from bariatriceating.com. Well I ordered some and am wondering if you mmixed them with water or milk? The sample packets don't have any directions. Janine 5/16/03 273/159/???

Hi Tammy, First congrats on your new job You are looking good keep up the good work Happy Easter to you & yours.... Carolyn

Hey congrats to you!!! I actually thought about you last weekend.....we were in Ames and we drove by a small Mary Greely Hospital place...I thought I know someone that works there......I think this builiding was a dialysis center or something......Anyways Best of luck and keep up the good work Jesi

That doesn't sound like slow loosing to me!!!!! You're doing perfect! Remember some days you'll loose nothing or even gain a few lbs...and some day you'll loose 5. You're loosing a lot of weight! I am very proud of you! Deb Paul

Congratssssssssssssss Tammy you are doing awesome......happy easter to you to and your family...........lynda

wow Tammy that is great I walk everyday and dont get tired anymore I love walking and congrads on your new job I bet you are happy keep up the good work take care have a nice easter Laurie

Whoohoo, Tammy, you sexy thing, you! Over 100 pounds lost is quite phenomenal if you ask me. Keep up the good work. I know how it feels to be busy. I actually check the boards at my lunch - that means that I am eating at my desk. It helps, though, because I have to take breaks in eating to type, so I eat more slowly. I'm glad to hear that you have all of that energy because you will need it with working, school and family! Keep on keepin on! God bless, Andrea P.S. You have a nice Easter, too.
