I have really enjoyed my discussions with you all in the past. I hope all of you are doing well.
We are currently looking to do a new weight loss relationship type programs that we hope you will like.
We are looking for a pre op married couples where both of the partners are obese and that might be interested in being in one of our shows.
If you know of anyone that might fit this description and would be interested in being in a show please email me at.

I am having a product giveaway on my website. Is it a shameless ploy to get visitors?
HECK YEAH! But who cares! It's a chance for FREEBIES!
Three lucky winners are surely going to hit it big!! I am talking, wonderful protein jackpot!
Before I hit the rules, here is what three lucky winners will receive:
A case of Labrada On The Go Ready to Drinks, AND a case of Rock'N Roll bars! OH MY GARSH! I am so jealous! All products will be sent directly to the winners from the Labrada company.
"Did she say a CASE of BOTH?" Yes, she did!
Here is all you have to do:
from Sunday, April 5th at 12:01 am UNTIL Sunday, April 12th, 12:01 pm, every person who makes a comment on my website to any post, or sends me an email will be entered for the drawing. You don't have to go into elaborate details of your surgery or life if you wish not to... (for you shy folks) but on Monday, April 13th, I will hold the drawing for 3 lucky winners. Yes, 3 LUCKY WINNERS! http://recoveringfatty.com
Good luck. Gosh I love giveaways.
