New Guy here- Introducing myself.

Hello my fellow Sooners! My Name is Christian Martin and I actually live in Austin TX right now, but I moved here from Oklahoma City. I used to work for ONG (gas company) downtown, back when I was 280 lbs. I had surgery 18 months ago in Houston Tx and I am a fairly active member in Texas. Just this morning the thought occured to me that there might be an Oklahoma board (duh!). And decided to come and introduce myself. I sure miss the snow. Austin gets snow for about half a day every 6 years or so. I am thinking about moving back to OKC because I lost my job as a CAD Designer and am having a bit of trouble finding work here. I also rememberd that the cost of living...or at least rents were much lower in OKC than here. I am paying $900 for a 1 bedroom apartment! I reached my goal weight of 180 lbs at exactly 6 months and I now weight 160. So I am thrilled with the surgery! Check out my profile, although I must admit I don't have much info there, but at least there are a couple of pictures of me goofing off in San Antonio. Nice to meet you all! cyber-hugs, Christian

What an incredible story! Congratulations on your success and healthy living. Glad you dropped by to introduce yourself

Thank You Mendi! You look fantastic. No one else wrote to me. I'm glad you did. cyber-hugs, Christian

Christian, Congratulations!! I bet you feel wonderful. I just wanted to say hi, and that it was really sweet of you to introduce yourself. I'm new to the message board. Just catching up. lol. Lorinda
