Tell me something good???

Hey guys thanks again for the support and for making me potm again. This board has been a life saver for me. So, tell me something new about yourself. How are things going with your weight loss, have you tried something new to eat that you like, are you doing new things. Just anything tell me something good. Me, well lets see I am four months out and I am almost 100lbs down from my surgery weight which will put me almost 130lbs from my heighest weight in October of 386lbs. I won a contest at curves during the month of April for loosing the most weight and inches. I told Gay the owner I felt like I would be cheating because I have this new tool. She insisted that I enter the contest anyway and I won. The newest thing I have started doing is actually assisting in coaching my daughters baseball team. I was only going to keep order during the game, but the head coach said he wanted me out and on the field with them. So, I smiled and said ok. So now its your turn........ Melissa

Melissa- I am new to this board, I have been posting on the other message board, until I realized that their was a GLBT forum. I am Post Op 4 weeks tomorrow. I have lost 46 pounds from 2/2/06 when I started this journey. I am doing well, no complications and back at work. My partner of 11 years is having some issues with the fact that I am not exercising everyday, like I am supposed to be doing, she also is concerned that I am not pureeing all of my food like my surgeon says I need to. I am supposed to be doing that for four complete weeks! It is hard to continued to blend things when I know that I can chew them to the same consistency before swallowing! Tell me what is "potm". Congratulations on the new position! Even though I don't know what it is. LOL. Anyway, I live in Washington State and have been in a relationship for 11 years. We provided therapuetic foster care for three teenage boys and also care for a 49 YO down syndrome man 4 days a week. I don't know if all of this is "good" but I am happy to find others with the same lifestyle and going through the WLS as well. Thanks for listening, Roxanne

Something new with me? Well I have a job interview tomorrow afternoon and I am scared to death. I really need and want this job. My weight loss has been somewhat slow lately. I am down 106 pounds. The only thing that tastes good to me is imitation crab. I just wish I could find something else to eat that I like. I have tried maranades and different spices and nothing really tastes good. Most of my clothes are huge on me now and I have needed to buy smaller clothes, some of those are now big too. I find that to be a great feeling. Honestly there is not much new with me, my classes are done so no class wor****il August. Oh well I started a new afghan, I hope it turns out ok. I hope you are all well. Take care Erin

Hey girl There is nothing really new with me. I am feeling good and so proud of myself for making the decision to have this surgery. I don't weigh often so I'm not sure what my exact weight is right now. Last time I check was a couple weeks ago and I was 315. Me and stephanie are back in the swing of things... we are always doing stuff and just being really active. For a while, my weight kept me at home. I'm glad your lovin your new life. Take Care and congrats on POTM! Kay
