Where the heck is everyone????

Well hello family This board has slowed wayyyyy down! I guess we all have lost the weight and out enjoying life. I'm trying to! So how is everyone?? Stop by, share the new love of your life, weight loss and news in your life! Let me know you guys are at least doing ok! As for me.. I finally got a job at the Medical University of South Carolina (hospital). I started orientation Monday! My mom and I are doing better as long as the word "lesbian" is not brought up. I'm trying so hard to get over my ex! I hate being single but I have met somenoe cool and we are taking things wayyyyyyyy slow! I find myself comparing everything she does to my ex and I know that's bad! I'm constantly looking for the bad in here and waiting for something bad to happen. I don't know why I do this to myself?? As far as weight loss.. I've been 187 lbs. since January. My goal is to be 175 but If I just maintain, I'll be just as happy. I'm sure if I get off my lazy ass and exercise, it would come off! Here are my stats.. Share yours too! Starting clothes size: 32 Current clothes size: 12 Highest weigh: 450 Surgery weight: 388 Current weight: 187 Goal weight: 175 Ok, who's next!! I wanna hear the scope. I miss you guys!!!!!!!!!! Take Care Kay

Hey Miss Kay. Missing you around here. Congrats on the new job at the hospital. You'll do great!! I'm sure those last few pounds will come off if you...ahem...exercised a bit. I look at your progress and I'm so inspired by you. I just had my Nuclear Stress Test. My Cardiologist said that my heart is functioning at "nearly normal" which is better than he expected. He said we'll talk again closer to surgery, but we should be good to go. WooHoo!! Rachelle

Hi I am sorry I fell off the board....I have been extremely busy between work being insane...(although being a child psychiatric is always a little crazy). We are very short of staff. Our unit was suppose to close for renovations in April then May...now September. I have had to work overtime. We are also having major renovations to our home...soo I have been out of my mind....But I have everything scheduled my sleep study is done. Upper GI and nutrition on the 28th and sleep study follow up on the 29th........It is getting to be "real"

Hi there Kay - do you remember me? I was posting here last year. I've been a bit distracted - short sob story follows: my dad died in January 06 my sister got into some very serious trouble with the law (but thankfully this is now resolved in her favour) my mum died in December 06 I lost my job last week (but on the up side they have to pay me out a reasonable sum of money)! My weight hasn't moved much - icecream and chocolate still go down just fine but I'm hoping that I can use the time I have between jobs to get my self back in line - off to the gym I go. And my partner and I have just built a house which we love - and yep, we're still happily in love with each other so all is fundamentally well with the world. Catch you later, gang. Might need to keep posting here for a bit to keep myself on track with getting this damned fat off my body! ciao Charlotte

I also have been so busy I just check in when I get a chance. My three little ones are going like weeds. My baby is almost 2. My partner and I celebrated our 7th anniversary in April. The weightloss has been steady, but the funny thing is I still feel like the biggest person in the room. I guess it's because I am taller than most people in the room....LOL. I know one of these days it will hit me, I just don't know when. Here are my stats.. Starting clothes size: 28 Current clothes size: 16 Highest weigh: 346 Surgery weight: 317 Current weight: 212 Goal weight: 165

Glad to see you back on the board! Glad to hear that all is well!! Starting clothes size: 26 Current clothes size: 14 Highest weight: 318 Surgery weight: 300 Current weight: 198 Goal weight: 180

Congratulations on the exponential weight loss! You look fantastic! Starting clothes size: size Titanic Current clothes size: size Luisitania Highest weight: Brontosaurus Surgery weight: Moby Dick Current weight: Shamu Goal weight: Tad pole Lofty expectations, but, hey! A boi can dream, right?

You Are Crazy, Xavier. Kay

We're out here, just forget to visit this board sometimes. I'm 3 weeks out, 40 lbs lighter, and learning to eat all over again. So many foods my stomach just isn't ready for, so it's a trial & error game to see what stays down. Have a blessed day and keep us all motivated to write here HaHa
