I know I've been MIA  for a while. Will try to do better. Just sitting here and a song keeps running thru my head, don't you just hate it when it happen and you can't get it to go away. WOULDN'T TAKE NOTHING FOR MY JOURNEY NOW. GONNA MAKE IT TO HEAVEN SOMEHOW.  Well this has been an incredible journey and and I'm extremely grateful I got to take the trip. At time I feel like I have made it to heaven already. I feel better at 62 than I did at 42. Seven years out, 85 pounds lighter and tons happier. My weight has been the same, within 5 pounds, for the past 4 years. I can eat anything I want in reasonable amounts. I work hard and play even harder. Have wonderful jobs that I love, great family, fantastic friends and a church family that can't be beat. What more could a little old lady ask for. My neighbors came over this afternoon and mowed, weedeated, cut a ton of brush and low hanging limbs and hauled everything off. My yard is beautiful now. I worked over 3 hours with them and  was still standing when we got finished.

They lady, Mrs. C that I I have been sitting with for the past 2 years is living with me since her house blew away with us in it on April 27. She is very sastisfied here with me. We have a barrel of laughs. I've been doing a few things around the house to make it easier on her. I put new flooring in her rooms.New higher commode, painted her bedroom and bath, got her a new chair to loll around in(I call it her throne)Last week I had a new heat pump installed and now we are nice and comfortable. This next week I'm going to install handrails on the front steps to aid her in going in and out. One of our local churches came out and cleaned her lot up. Her daughter has already had her new house started. The roofers, plumber and electrician are all coming to work on in today. They said they would have it ready for her to move into by August. God sure has been good to us hasn't he?
So as I sing my song WOULDN'T TAKE NOTHING FOR MY JOURNEY NOW, GONNA MAKE IT HEAVEN SOMEHOW.  I will close with a happy heart. Love, Miss Mary

Thanks John.  I have missed seeing you post.  Hope that you are doing good.  Come back more often.

Beemerkeeper for your info I did have the time.  I have had foot surgery and was in pain so I was just sitting here reading.   And math is one of my strong points.   When you start reading and the person says they weigh 300 and you keep reading down a few lines and they then change the weight to 370 and both being pre-op because some one told them that is waht  they were told.
The other one that stand out in my mind could not even do the math.  Started out about 300 and lost 200 and they still weigh around 180.   Now does the numbers even match up?    
Beemerkeeper some days with the foot pain this is all I can do and it does keep me entertained at some of crazy stuff that people post.  
Hope that you have a good day as I sure will.  Maybe read some more profile's  and get a laugh or two.   

Gosh, you really have time to study people's math so closely? 

As I was sitting here reading some profile it is just amazing how people fudge their weight.  When you start reading the profile they state they weigh X amount and you keep reading and they lose X amount.  Now when you get to the bottom they start out weighing another amount.   One even said they weighed more because so and so said so.   Ever one of us former fluffy people knows how high our weight got so why fudge it in print?
