Hello everyone. I have not posted in ages but I have still been reading the posts to stay motivated. Its been a rough summer for my family.   My husband was diagnosed with colon cancer and had surgery to remove the tumor. After 3 weeks in the hospital he is finally at home recovering and will need another surgery in a few months. On the bright side he is staying very positive and jokes that this was his version of weight loss surgery! His diet is very similar to mine now which is helpful and after a plateau for a month my weight loss has started again. I think without this group, and my surgeons monthly support group, it would have been very easy to turn to my old eating habits; fortunately that did not happen although it did cross my mind more than once. Oh forgot to mention that my husband is only 45 years old!, Thanks for letting me vent !

Thanks for returning to share Michelle.  Hope that they got all the cancerous area with surgery.  He is too young for this, well everyone is too young for cancer.  Keep looking to the best.  We are here for both of you.  Do not return to bad behaviors.  It is easy to do, but look at how far you have come.  Your ticker is looking great.  Keep up the good work Michelle.  Keep us up to date on your husbands recovery too. 

 Thank you for sharing Michelle.  I'm glad your husband is doing well and staying positive.  It's always great to find the silver linings to dark clouds.  And you're doing so well, yay!  Looking good!
