Hi all - I am about 6 months post-op and have about 54 lbs. to go until goal weight. CANT FIGURE OUT HOW TO UPDATE MY HEALTH TRACKER THINGIE on my signature so it still says 90 something pounds to go! hmmmm!

Anyway, on October 28 I had my birthday, it was the first time I did not pig out on a big meal and cake to make myself feel good. Instead I had a simple good meal and did a lot of walking on Ogunquit Beach - it was beautiful!

Still working on relationship with food continuously, hit a few stalls and I am learning to stay positive through them. Looking forward to winter hikes and activities. Still working on getting a steady activity schedule. Joined meet-up groups that do walks and hikes and trying to connect with others that walk and hike as well.

Hope everyone is doing well. I can honestly say I have no regrets for taking this step in my life. I am so loving life now, even though I still have more work to do!  - Xico

let me know  when and where,  I would love to chat with others, although this week is nuts, maybe the 2nd week of November??

When did you have in mind?  and where?

We outfitted most of our new house from Bob's.  We've never had a problem, it is holding up BEAUTIFULLY!!!  We have 4 very active kids who are rough on everything and our leather couch still looks brand new after almost 4 years.  I highly recommend them!

We bought a bob o pedic mattress, as long as you know your prices going in, or if they are having a sale it is a good deal.  We knew they were advertised at a lower price than marked in the store, so I asked and was told yes they were on sale, just not marked correctly in the store.  So if you know the sale price you are good.  I do love the mattress, and we even had to exchange it due to stains upon delivery and there was no hassles at all.  Not sure what you are buying, but I am willing to go back to them and get something else when we can afford something new for the living room.
