current wt: 198 I past my New Year's goal of 205 and even made onederland for the first time in over 15 years. VD goal: 185# (I might be pushing it here) I would LOVE a buddy! I'm always looking for new friends - even online ones. LEA - Thanks for a wonderful first challenge. I think these things could get addictive! Can't wait to see how I do on the next one and if I can keep my exercise resolution. I might miss the first couple of posts but I'll get back to you as soon as I get into Indiana. I'm going to Ohio too but Cleveland instead of Columbus. I get to visit family and go for my first big check-up. I haven't seen my bariatric doctor since three weeks post-op. He probably won't reconize me!

HI, I made my goal, I suppose, LOL. I just said under 200 lbs. I am still at 195 lbs but I am waiting on the holiday weight to hit me. I want to be at 180 lbs by the end of the Valentine's Day Challenge. Yes, I would like a buddy also. I need so much help it isn't even funny, LOL. I hope everyone has a Happy New Year's and be safe. Tammy PS--I need someone to come to my house and get rid of all this sweet junk here left from Christmas.

Weight today 181 VD goal 169 No online buddy for me, I have lots of them!

Good Morning-- My final weight is 194. I had a goal to stay pretty steady, and increase my exercise, and I've really succeeded. I just signed up for my first offficial sprint triathlon, and the training is leaving me in pain, but I keep moving forward.... increasing my protein for muscle repair/build. I've been really solid with regular exercise/training ever since just after Thanksgiving. I also got a new road bike for Christmas! I don't have a weight goal for the next challenge, but would like to participate still. I'd like to pass on the buddy option because I have Soooo much planned I won't be able to give the buddy the attention they deserve. I'll be finishing up my MBA, and preparing/taking the CPA exams in 2008, which will make for a challenging year. (especially with my first triath. scheduled for end of MAY). Happy New Year-- Dave in AZ
