Hi all! I've took a hiatus on posting here on the boards. I have had so much fun having a life again that I forgot to post here! I can't believe that it's been almost 5 months since my surgery and I've lost 60 pounds. It's unbelievable to me. I am wearing my Mom's clothes (some of which used to be mine!) and going to be out of them soon. I also got out an old long dress coat that I got 11 years ago and haven't been able to wear since I was pregnant with my youngest son 6 years ago! It's almost too big! I also have gone skiing with my husband for the first time in 10 years and went sledding with my kids a couple of weeks ago when we had the icy snow and had so much fun with them. I think I went down the hill as much as they did and sometimes went down with one of them on my lap!! I joined the Columbia Association and am now exercising 4-5 times a week. I'm truly enjoying working out in a gym, which I never did before. I'm swimming twice a week, taking a group weight lifting class and a spinning class. This week I'm also going to try yoga! Me, yoga! Never thought it would happen! Ok, I've got to go get some work done.... Yvette

Oh, Yvette - it is so wonderful to see you reclaim your life and enjoy it!!! Isn't it amazing how pervasive obesity is and how much it keeps us from participating in things others take for granted!!! Enjoy every sugar-free moment of it!!!! Keep up the good work!!! Tia

Hi Yvette I second what Tia said about reclaiming your life! Sounds like you are having an awesome time and enjoying every minute of it. Keep an eye on the board because we often do social things off line (have a bowling to do coming up at Dave & Busters on March 31) as a group to get to know each other up close and on a more personal level. Would love to meet you. Hugs, Mo

I did see the posting about the bowling - I LOVE bowling and live 5 minutes from Dave & Busters. I'll add it to my calendar of activities!! Yvette
