Hi Jean,

At this stage of the game I, too, am very focused on health. Weight loss is very important also, just not as important as I thought it would be during my journey.

I have 3 male cats who are the love of my life. I used to rescue only older cats that were 10 and older. Most were so old, they lived only a year or 2. I adored every one of them, but had to take a break because of the grief. i lost so many in a short time. So I decided to rescue a few babies. Now I have 3 young boys who rock my world. I've decided 3 is the perfect number. It is the most I ever have had and I am at my feline-limit for sure.

Onederland sounds like heaven to me. Congrats!

Best,

Sharon

Hi Sharon

I used to think that 3 was my feline-limit and that lasted for about 2.5 years,  Just got a 4 month old kitten last week.  she is a cutie. I cannot imagine losing them after only a year or two,

Hi there!
I'm Elise, 26 years old, married for 9 months. I live in Boston, MA. I'm a psychiatric rehab specialist... ironic I know.
I've lost 94 pounds and would like to lose 90-100 more, we'll see!

Hi Elise,

You have a very interesting job. I feel like food was my drug of choice and i should have been in psychiatric rehab at times

Thank goodness the sleeve has helped that problem immensely.

Wow, you are at the 1/2 way point. What a great place to be.

Good luck on your journey,

Best,

Sharon

 Hi everyone,
I am Kat and I live in TN.  Had my RNY done in MN when we were living in ND last year.  Started at 320 (but suspect I was much higher, thats after I lost some wt and actually got on the scale.)  I am in healthcare along with my husband.  We have a 12 year old son and 2 fourlegged famliy members.   I am close to my wt goal of 155.   :-)   I love this forum!!!

Kat

HI Kat,

I envy that you move around. i have been in IL for 54 years and now feel too old to hi-tail it out of here. I would miss my grandkids too much.

Im so happy for your success and almost being at goal. Looking at your pic, you'd never know you once weighed 320 lbs. You look like an athlete instead.

Congrats on an awesome journey,

Best,

Sharon

Hey, great idea, I loved reading all of you!  Getting to know you better! 

The first thing I should say about me:  I am very bad with remembering names and details about people, so if I ask your name many times, please don't hold it against me!  hahaha

I am originally from Québec, Canada and I am french speaking.  I now live in Toronto, Ontario, Canada.

I am 35 years old, have been married for 11 years today!  My husband mostly works in the states, so we do not get to see him often, but this is ok with me, as I am a lonely person.  We have 3 kids, 4-7 and 9yo.  I am a daycare provider, in my home, and I care for 3 kids of 2 yo, 2.5 and 2.5 yo.

Not much time for myself, not much time for training.  I am trying to find ways to introduce exer****s and time for me, but not much success yet.

I had surgery june 25th, lost 54.9 pounds so far.  I still have 145-160 pounds to lose to be 145-160 pounds (goal) for a BMI of 22-24.3  My goal isn't set in stone though, I will see how it goes along the way, I would settle for 170.

Karine.
