I turned 30 yesterday. I'm not sure if that means I can't hang around here anymore....I had WLS in my 20's so I think that's good enough...

Anyways, I'm still working way too much, but hopefully another week or two and I will have "gotten there" after my "first 100 days in office"...

Still maintaining right at 163 - I eat probably 2 or 3 times the amount of food in a day then when I was working to get to this weight and that scares me, yet somehow the scale always stays around 163 so I guess I'm doing fine....

One interesting thing I noticed. The wow moments are few and fare between at this stage of the game but I had one yesterday. I was thinking about how I just turned 30 and thought to myself, you know if I hadn't done this, I would probably be feeling really bad and anxious about turning 30, I'd be wondering if my obesity was going to keep me from living through to my 40's, now I'm just feeling healthy...so that was kind of a wow moment for me...

Anyways, I posted some pictures to my profile from the last couple months and here is one from the 80's party my wife through for me last night - I'm karaoking to "Weird Science"

I was wondering how you were doing, especially changing jobs, the long hours and addede stress.   It is great that you are happy and still maintaining.  That is a wow moment all in itself. ~ Leslie

I had no idea I'd have to rescind my WLS 20s Membership Card in just a few weeks.  ACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well Happy Happy Birthday to you!!!   You have so many reasons to celebrate this new decade and I bet WOW moments are hidden all over the place.  You're smart to look back, compare and think where you might have been had you not taken the WLS leap.  I bet you feel incredible pride and accomplishment!  That's the best gift of all.

I don't hardly recognize myself or my life anymore!
