Hi, I'm new
I've been reading the message board over the last few days and wanted to introduce myself and say hello.
My name is Raven and I had RNY surgery 9/29/08. I lost 53 pounds before surgery and 41 since. I have about 20 more pounds to goal (I'm thinking). I went from a very tight size 20 down to a comfortable 10 (so far).
My partner, Z, and I live in Oakland, CA and we've been together 11 years. She is very heathy and fit, works out with heavy weights several times a week and is a big inspiration to me.
I've been overweight since my mother began taking me to WW at the age of 9. There I learned to yo-yo diet and have all my life. I'm 53 years young.
Z and I love to ride motorcycles. She on the board of Dykes on Bikes and we do runs every month. I also ride to work every day (if there's no rain).
I'm really happy to find the LGBT forum and hope to find a home here with everyone where I can share my journey and learn from everyone.
My first question to everyone is ... how do I create the cool weight tracker and quotes that I find so wonderful which most of you have?

Hello and welcome!
I'm Christy and I'm currently on a waiting list to take classes towards the surgery...I live in Bellflower, Ca with my Partner.
I got my ticker from www.tickerfactory.com
design your clicker and when you're done copy and paste the ticker itself, not the code, to the signature area...
should work fine!
goodluck!

Hey thank you Panthera! Yes, it's something I really try to remember. It goes hand in hand with that quote that "insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results".

O M G that is soooo true. And thank you. Looking wonderful yourself! I only go to the post-ops. I can't handle the size of the pre/post meetings ... unless requested to attend. ![](http://images.obesityhelp.com/_shared/images/smiley/msn/biggrin2.gif)
