Rumors of my demise have been greatly exaggerated. (I've been entertaining and stuff)....

Yes....it's the Okie from the Islands....  Just wanted everyone to know I've been rumored long lost on the ocean, yet here I am writing to all of the fun people back home letting them know that I've see a few updated pics of some of you and WOW.....some of you have lost some SERIOUS weight....  Congrats!

I have been busy meeting a lot of WLS people here on the island....lots of people from all over..BUT I got my first "OKIE" this past week.....she's taken up a lot of my time for the past week...  Took her out on the high seas for fun on the catamaran and sailed over to the edge ofthe BVI and to St John over the past couple of days.  As always, it's good to have a little Okie humor over here....  (see fun pics below)....

I will let everyone know that I've tried to stay up with lurking a bit here and there, but with this new job thingy going on, mixed with building on new properties and sailing, I've been stretched...but I'm still a part of the WLS community back home....so I might be out of  sight, but you guys and gals are not out of mind.... I read others who have also had this problem...at least i'm not alone in feeling like I've neglected my group of cool peeps....

I am very lucky to have such a terrific group of WLS'rs *****main on target with the low carb diets that email me daily giving the results and measuring out how they're moving along and trying to reach that "magic" number on the way to being the person hey want to be!  Well it's off to the office...I hope you people have an awesome day.... 

Glad to know that you are not lost on the high seas and are still around from time to time. your humor has been missed OH Okie Pirate!

I was wondering where you have been!  Great pics!  You look so happy.

Yes! From the "okie" in the pic, T is doing VERY well...Kicking "bottoms" and taking names.. The islands are beautiful and the man himself is well,  just as amazing as everyone would believe. He is forever busy, but I will tell you that his words are genuine as he does have the biggest heart in the world and cares for each and everyone of you! I will tell you that this "okie" doesn't like being back in the very COLD states and wishes to be back in USVI, loving life with a wonderful man! 

I am glad that you had a great visit and have to say WOW you look awesome. I am jealous you got to visit the islands especially with teh cold we have b een having.

Sure wish I could come to the islands too....sigh, the only way is for me to ship myself FedEx and I can't fit in the box I can afford!  No amount of Noassitol will help!

T. you have a new life and some times just to busy to post so dont sweat the small stuff.
Hav a great time and just peep in sometimes.
Hugs to ya sexy

Thomas,

You know - pictures like that are especially cruel when we're stuck up here battling the #%$(@* Oklahoma wind.   Looks like y"all had a great time - both of you are looking great.

I just have to ask - did either of you actually have clothes on in that first picture?    Cause - to me - for people to go from needing WLS to feeling comfortable riding around on a catamaran in the islands without clothes is pretty impressive!

Good to see you popping in!  It's obvious from that grin that you are enjoying your new way of life, and setting a great example for the rest of us on how to do the same.

John

Thomas, don't forget the sunscreen!  Glad to know you are thinking of us here in the windswept hills of Oklahoma, even if you are enjoying such beautiful scenery & weather in paradise.  SIGH, guess we will just have to live vicariously through you, my friend.  Keep in touch!

Great pics. Looks like you are having a ball.
