Hey there Amanda! Good to have you! I know I don't live to close to where you are living but you can count on me I will be here if ryou need me. I know it can be so hard leaving somewhere you have been for such a long time and making new friends in a new place but remember we are always here for you! Congratulations to you on the 80lbs Keep up the great work! Evelyn 247/149/147

Just a little off the subject... Mary, you and I are neighbors practically! I live in Clifton Park

Manda - I replied to a different post of yours (and you sent a brief email response), but I just wanted to say that you can email me anytime you want! And, since I rarely get online at home during the week, I will even give you my work email if you want to be able to contact me during the week. Don't be so scared. New Yorkers, no matter what you've heard, don't usually bite unless they're bitten first! Regards from Massapequa, LI, NY ~~ Ilene Rachel 6 months post-op 100+ down!
