Dearies:

It's been 15 months since RNY and doctor says I've lost 98% of excess weight. WaHoo!! I'm on vacation in Hawaii and am able to wear a swim suit after 20 years and not be self conscious! I'll never look like a 40 year old or even a 50 year old, but that is just fine, my health is good. For years I've had a list of things I'd like to do before I croak (bucket list?) and horseback riding was on it. Well, my girlfriend and I went riding - it was wonderful and although I was sore it was worth it.

God bless you all on the Over 50 Forum - you are great and so filled with good advice and love.

Connie: Thanks for your encouraging post. Now to maintain the weight loss and work harder on exercising. Like I said, I've got a bucket list and adding new things. I bought a new dress - on sale, but not from eBay or a thrift shop! DH figured I needed another reward.
Blessings,
Rudie

Hi Nan! We go to Ocean Shores occasionally and love the ocean. We live in the Belfair area and love Puget Sound. The reports have indicated cold, snowy, icy weather! Glad we're here, but have to go home in three days.

Hugs,
Rudie

Congratulations on your 98%, sounds like you are a 100% Winner!  and glad you went horseback riding, I am doing it for the first time in my life this upcoming weekend, I'm a bit nervous about it, but I'm going with a group of friends and people who know I'm a novice, so all will be well and now I won't feel like the horse should be riding me ;) Hugs, Laureen
