Hi, My name is Brenda.  I was on the RNY/Lap Board for awhile.  To make a long story short, I was to have RNY on July 10, but something happened to cause me to cancel my surgery (I think it was a God thing).  I am 54 yrs. old, and was weighing 244. I decided to do it the old fashioned way with diet and exercise alone.  I quit my job to allot more time for myself.  My DH is retired and we can afford for me not to work.  (Although, if I get bored, I'll type at home for a friend of mine). I've been going to the pool and thrashing around almost every day and jotting down what I eat on FitDay.com (which, by the way, I learned from ya'll...I LOVE IT!) I've lost 5 lbs. as of today.  It took about 3 weeks, but hey! I really enjoy reading all your posts.  It is truly an inspiration to me. I hope I can add something for you as well. Well, glad not to be a lurker anymore.   Brenda
