Jan PS Richard since you are a regular reader of this board would you mind posting this again around the first of August so that everyone will be reminded.

I will, would you like me to post it to all the Yahoo NM boards I am signed on with too?

Your new picture is beautiful. What size are you in now?

Thanks for the compliment, and just think I haven't had surgery yet....OH, you were talking about Jan.....:;

Oh Richard, you all ready know how I am with computers , so be nice, And when you do have your surgery I will compliment you too. One of these days I'll get it right.

:0) lol Richard you are bad! Well, wish I could say I'm some "normal" size, but I really do have this huge frame so I'm wearing a size 24. I've been soooo stuck at one weight that I (I hate to admit this) joined Weigh****chers and journaling what I eat. I seem to stay between 900 - 1200 calories (which is not enough for my current weight - but we do have this capacity limitation). I have finally decided I'm not going to like exercise at any weight so I just need to do it (I dont enjoy making my bed either but I do that every day). Dorothy B told me about the Manzano Mesa Multigenerational which is by Cosco near Eubank and Central. You pay $12.50 A YEAR and they have a great exercise room. They ask for a $.50 donation each time you use the room.... geeesh anyone can afford that - and it prevents me from the trauma of going to "good body" Defined Fitness. I know there must be overweight people that go to Defined Fitness, but my eyes dont see them - I just see the great bod's. Hmm.... dont know what all of this has to do with Dr Wolfe coming to our support meeting.... except to show maybe I need to climb on the couch! Jan roflmao

Jan I go to defined fitness and used to think like you till I saw that all those perfect looking bodies arent so perfect in the locker room. Now I dont worry about it. Yvonne

I go to Curves almost daily. All body shapes and sizes are there and not only do I get my workout, I meet new people, as well as knowing all the staff.
