Greetings from a post-op

Hi, I just happened to run across your page this morning and I wanted to tell you all that I hope you are successful with your weight loss journeys. It is not an easy task that you are undertaking and I admire your determination to keep working at it. Blessings! Sue ZQ

This looks like a friendly place. Sue ZQ

I read your profile, Sue ZQ. What a long way you've come!!! All the things in your life that are better, more comfortable--more of what you deserve! I've very happy for you! Thank you for posting on the non-op site. Any support offered is ALWAYS welcome! We're all doing our own thing, and struggling through it. But we remind ourselves: it is one day at a time. For many of us, it's one MEAL at a time. But the whole thing is a process. There is as much for us to work on in our heads, as there is for us to lose on our bodies... Congratulations on your success! Jessica 302/252/175

Wow...you've dropped 50 pounds! That's awesome.

Thanks, Sue. It was very kind of you to visit us. As I said in a post on the main message board, I sometimes feel that nonops are treated like red-headed stepchildren on this site. Best of luck. Kasey 365/210/195 (nonop)

We're all fighting the same battle, Kasey. Everyone has to choose the path that's best for them.

Kasey, you are doing an outstanding job ? what is your total loss so far ? Phyllis.............

Phyllis, as it says on my signature line, I started at 365 pounds and I now weigh 210 pounds, for a total loss of 155 pounds. Best of luck. Kasey 365/210/195 (nonop)

Kasey, I was only trying to give you support and a compliment. I am sorry if I overlooked your signature line. Please excuse me. I will not bother you again. Best of luck. Phyllis.

Joyce, You have come such a long way! What a tremendous plan you have for reforming your life. You've got it together. We all have a meal here, or a slip-up there, but by and large, you're doin' it, girl!!! I'm proud of you! I love hearing what people are doing to take care of themselves... I've been on Adkins since June 10, 2005. I started at 302#. I began exercising at the club near my house, first 3 days a week, and now 5 days a week, for 90 minutes each time. I'm changing my body, guys!!! I started at size 26/28 and now, my pants are a size 20 and loose, and my shirts are 22/24 (with a little room for my ample busom...). I feel good about my success, and when I come to this site, I get lots of support from people just like you: people who are in this for the long haul. Have a tremendous Thanksgiving, and keep up the great work, Joyce!! Jessica 302/252/175
