Good to see you back on the board. You have been missed. A lot of people have been awol lately. Any word from Carolyn? I'm 20 months out now and have lost between 110-114. I'm having a TT on Tuesday and am getting way excited! I'll be so glad to get rid of this hanging panni. Once I recover from that, my next goal will be to find an exercise that builds up butt muscles! Who would have thought 2 years ago I would want a bigger butt! Glad you're back! Lyn

Janet, It's so good to hear from you again. As time passes we all are guilty of posting less, I think. I'm sticking around because our local Yahoo group has pretty much dried up & no one is posting. It's sad because it was a very good source of support for the patients of Dr Glas**** I find the support I get here very important and almost necessary at times so I'll still be here for a very long time. Size 6, huh? Wonderful! I will never get to that place, I fear. I am still hovering around 180lbs but my goal for this year is to just lose 1 lb a month. If I can do that, I will be very close to my personal goal. I haven't gained but boy, I can't seem to make that scale number drop at all. It doesn't help with days like today. I got up early to go to the pool to exercise but ever since I have been so hungry. It is only 10:00 am & so far I have drank a proten shake before my exercise session (which usually keeps me satisfied until lunch) and ate a tuna & egg salad sandwich and a small bowl of 9 grain cooked cereal. At least what I eat is good for me. I probably have at least half my required protein. I really think we need to find a time and a place so as many as possible can come & meet each other face to face. I know we tried it in the past and it sort of bombed I think but maybe this year it will happen. I, too, was in Davenport to hear Carnie but wasn't a part of your group. However, I wonder if we have met afterall. I know I met several of the group that stayed in Davenport overnight. That's when I met Jesi & Andrea. Dixie

Janet, Great to hear you are doing good. Glad things are looking up for you. How does your son like Cedar Rapids? We need to get together and catch up. Miss chatting with yeah. I am still losing I am going to weigh in tomorrow because last week i was sicker then crap. I moved to a house in Carroll and changed my phone number. Let me know what a good day for you and i can drive up to visit you. I do my classes online right now. I changed my major to criminal justice. Boy girl i have a lot to tell yeah!!!! MISS YEAH!!!!
