I will definitely need to check out the Diet Direct items. I'll request a catalog today, I'm always trying to find easy ways to consume protein, that's for sure. I'm still drinking the Costco Premier Protein Shakes, I have to change back and forth between the flavors though so I don't get tired of them.
School is going well, and definitely keeping me busy. I'm in my final year at SDSU! WHOOHOOO!! I can't wait for school to finally be over with.
Weight loss is going strong. I'm down 116lbs so far, and am heavily involved with my martial arts. I train several times a week and can actually get through it all. I tell you what, I never would've lasted 10 minutes prior to surgery, but now I'm coming out fighting fit. I'm also running now, I don't overly enjoy it, but I know it's good for me and I'd like to be able to complete a few 5k races with not having to walk.
So far, having the surgery is one of the best decisions I've ever made. I'm happier than ever, and enjoy waking up in the mornings.

Hi Janet, it's great to hear from you. We all have been wondering how you are doing and am glad to see your post here today.
Well done on your weight loss, that is an amazing feat. I know you still have other health issues to take care of, but you can't deny that having your body carry less weight is definitely better for you.
I'm glad to hear that you were awarded SSI too. Hopefully this will help ease some financial burden for you, and yes, very lucky that you live in CA.
Please do make sure to keep in touch, we worry about you!

I will check my email.

You weight less than me!!!!! I'm at 167, but for me that's a size 10. My goal is a 9. I'm hoping to get to gaol and lose the last twenty by my birthday (end of may) But I'm really gonna try for April 5th. That would be the 7 month mark for me.

Congrats, and your body will settle at a comfortable weight for itself. If you were ment to be at 160 you will stay there, if you were ment to go lower you will lose

yeah for you!!!!! I am doing well, am at what I think is a good weight for me (160)but am still eating like before so will probably loose some more. Did you get my message that I sent the other day about the house???:)D

Finally! At almost 6 months out.....I could have been there sooner but I cheated (especially with liquor) along the way. Was it worth it??? Hell ya. I take the good with the bad and I realize I'm not perfect, I'm just human. But I've still lost more in 6 months than I did in the two years prior. I know you all can't see me, but I'm patting myself on the back right now.

I have 22 pounds to go. Hoping to get there by the middle of April (if I can behave). It is getting harder to lose the further out I get from surgery. I'm going to get focused again.

How are you guys doing?
