Well, it has been a year already!  I had my appointment at Dr. Blackstone’s office last week.  Everything looks good except my vitamin D and potassium levels are low.  They do not act like it will be too hard to treat.  And my total weight loss in the first year…  DRUM ROLL PLEASE… 241lbs.  I feel awesome!  I go for a long walk a minimum of 5 days a week, and ride my bike in the evenings, usually several miles (average about 7 miles a day).  Life is good…

Thank you, I will give the girls a hug...  We are still trying to work out the finaces of moving to Flagstaff...  I would really like to pursue my masters, but funding it has been a real challenge. Richard

That's so awesome!!! Congratulations on your "new" life!  My 4 year surgiversary was June 30th!  I'm down 145 pounds and have maintained since for 2 and a half years.  I also just had reconstructive surgery to get rid of the extra skin!   Congrats again!  Isn't it a GREAT feeling?!

WOW 241 lbs?  That is AWSOME!  If I could get a 1/3 of that off me it will be GREAT!
