Yes thank you. I stuggle with "what if?" I do this wls, what would I miss? but with the old back hurting all the time (per doctor: lose weight), and the "sugar" (per doctor: lose the weight) and the high blood pressure (per doctor: lose the weight), I have to do a life style change (or two!) or I am not going to function very well in the near future. Thanks for your response. It is very refreshing! Write soon! P

FAMMMMM!!!!!!    Heya Specialmsv!!!  Long time no see and it's always a pleasure.

Girl I'm 5 years out as of Nov. 23 and though I haven't gained any weight (thank God).. I've yet to make it to my goal. 
I've recently re~changed my eating and have started dropping weight again... and again (thank God)... I'm like 17 lbs away from my goal and for years I've been stuck in size 12's... recently I tried on a size 10 old navy pants and guess what... those bad boys fit.. and fit nice!!!  I'm on a mission to get to my goal weight in 2010.. at the least my late Spring~early Summer. 
This ride, like you said.. is something else.  But we must perservere.  I'm a trooper to say the least.  I'm GOING TO DO IT!!  And I must say that I've gotton to where I am today by coming here everyday... whether in lurk or with a post.  You all keep me inspired and I humbly thank you my BAF FAMMMMM!!!!

Glad to see you back sis!

 Hey lady....it's good seeing yah and thanks for showing a sista some ....I know you'll make it to goal ....ur determined and u have ur BAF family to help keep u encouraged....I know it kept me on track....it's only when I stay away too long that I lose focus.  It's those who are on this same WLS journey that can understand what I'm going thru and provide the type of encouragement I need to get myself back on track.
