I wish you well on your physical exam. All the Best! Tracey

Hi Tracey Congratulations on your weight loss 45lbs gone forever that is great you keep up the good work. Right now I work in a college, in financial aide, I am still in the investigational stage with the dept of corrections but I haven't heard frome them for 2 years, and now they are calling me, so if I do get to start I will be going in the academy. Thanks for you input, how does your husband enjoy his job, I love my current job, I just have no pensions, and it is not secure, I was laid off for 13 months and just came back but, I need something with better benifits. Christine

To the best Angel, Christine, Focus + Courage + Willingness to work = Miracles (Iyanla) From your post look how much support you've gained. I think that it's great that Mercedes and my twin sistha Sarah will be co-dieting with you!!!! Listen like I tell my friends we didn't get here in a day so don't expect to lose it in a day. I wish you all the best try not to get discouraged because this is how your weight loss journey is suppose to be. Everyone has a different road to travel and as you've embarked on your quest I share with you my strength, power and love. Marcia

Hi Sweetie You always have something beautiful to say, just like you. I know I did not get this way over night and if there was some miracle pill or fallen star to wish apond, I would have done it already. but I have to do this the hard way which there is nothing wrong with that and I am greatful for all the support I got and get here at the borad, and your twin sista and Mercedes are great people to try and help me, cause doing it alone is very hard. Love you much &{{{{{hugs}}}}}} And how are you feeling today is the pain easen up a bit or are you still suffer much. I'm here for ya. Christine

Hey girl, Doing okay still not a 100 percent but at least my stomach is beginning to relax and not tug as much. It would be unfair to equate the feeling to pain at this point it's just a nagging periodic queasiness. Remember to hang in there and you are NOT Alone.... Marcia

Christine, I am going through the same thing you are right now and it sure sucks that the Ins Comp makes rules that even other Dr's can not understand but like my hubby says "it is all about numbers to them"... well he is from Canada and they don't have all the Ins companies and all....... Well I sent you an email and I hope to hear from you soon...... Take care and hang in there.... Debra Peace

Thanks Debra I know it is about the number they forgot we are humans, and it's so funny but animals have more rights than we do. If you stuff a subway car with a heard of cows it is called animal crultey and when it is humans it is call rush hour. I emailed you and hope to hear from you soon. Christine I am hanging in there and won't give up
