Hello MO Board

Hi everyone. Things are good with me, just busy. Between volunteering at school, working out, cub scouts and just doing for Cody I am always on the run. I am actually considering going back to work after the first of the year. Sorry I don't post more often but my life has gotten so busy lately that I am hardly ever on the computer. It is so funny that before WLS I lived on the computer and now I am lucky if I get on for 10 mins. a day. As for my weight loss, I am doing great! I have lost a total of 169 pounds since surgery and am feeling fantastic. I have gone from a 5/6X to a 2X in shirts and pants. Cody is getting big and school is a little bit of a challenge for him (and me) this year. He has a lot more homework and even has tests now (he's in the third grade). He did real well first semester though getting all A's and B's. Even though I don't post every day, I do try to keep up with the goings ons on the board. My prayers have been with Melissa and hope she gets to go home soon. And Miss Jan, I see that you were just in St. Louis with your sister. Next time you come this way you need to email or call me so we can get together. I would love to meet you in person. Well, I just wanted to say hi and let you know I am still kicking. I hope everyone has a fantastic Thanksgiving and I send a big welcome to all the new people to the loser's bench. I promise I will try to post more often. Deanna

Deanna how wonderful to hear from you. Wow you really are doing well with your weight loss arent you. You need to have another picture put on here and please do write us more often. That is wonderful that you are thinking about going back to work. If i had remembered that you lived up that way i most certainly would have emailed you sweetie. When I get ready to do my Spring run over the State I will post it so you can put your name in and we will put your town on the list of where to stop at too. Love you and wish you could say hi to us at leat once a week Jan
