Hi Everyone !

I am sooooooooooo sorry I haven't been on in so long ! I went back to work full-time and just been swamped, which is great but I miss seeing how everyone is doing here. A little update on myself then I want everyone to catch me up on what i've missed with them, newbies and oldies (LOL)?? Okay so I am at 5 months out and down 77lbs ! I feel out of this world ! Been some bumps in the road but I think that is normal? I only have 15 more to goal. Work (i'm a hairstylist) is awesome, I can actually stand on my feet 8-10 hrs per day and it doesn't bother me. Oh, my 5 y/o wanted to play soccer this summer/fall so I signed her up, they needed a coach so I said what the heck... yepp ME as a coach LOL But if I hadn't lost all this weight there would have been no way I could have done it, running around with them feels so good ! I am already thinking about plastic surgery - not like tomorrow or anything but probably after the new year. I can't believe how much excess skin in my belly area I have ! not to mention my breasts ! holy moly ! so if anyone has any advice for surgery or not or whatever... would be greatly appreciated. Okay your turn........... I hope you all are doing well ! I am sure everyone is doing terrific but I wanna hear it from you ! talk to you all soon {{{{hugs}}}} ~~Rona

I am so happy for you and I am glad that everything has been running so smooth for you

Hey Girl!!! It's so good to hear from you!!  I'm glad you are doing well. You should visit the April surgery board. We have a great time and everyone is very supportive. Keep up the good work. Joni

Rona, it's nice to see you again.  Wow, you're doing great.  I had surgery in July for a facelift.  I wanted to do the tummy tuck but the plastic surgeon wanted me at goal for at least 6 months to make sure I don't lose any more weight.  Well, he was right.  Since then I lost another 10 pounds and I seem to not be "at goal" yet even though I'm over a year out.  It wouldn't hurt to have a consult with a PS (most of them are free).  This way, they'll tell you how much longer (if any) you have to wait.  That's great that you are a coach.  I bet your daughter never thought you'd be her coach.  Isn't the new life great?
