Beginning of my future

Hi! My name is Michelle E. I started this thing weighing in at 423 lbs. I quit smoking February 25, 2008. I did the 6 month diet. At my preop appointment, I weighed 424. I know I gained a pound in my 6 months but I am ok with that, Hey, I am tickled that I am smoke free! Operation day was October 27, 2008, I weighed 417. I am now almost 1 week postop.

Ok. Not exactly sure of the correct steps to set up my account here, but I am glad that I came across this site. I enjoy reading everyone's blogs and have felt much more grounded with the choices I have made with this operation and all that is yet to come. So thank you to all that share!

 

I have a few questions for anyone who can and would shed some light upon my dark, dense head!

1)How do you add pictures? I would love to be able to add pictures as I lose weight and label them but do not understand where to find this info. I can only figure out how to post 1 pic on my profile because THERE it lets you "browse" through pics on your pc. I can't find that anywhere else?!

2)Once I set up a diet ticker, how do I bring it to this site where it actually shows up and not just the (wording)? This just seems really important to me. I "love" charts and such to look at often!

3)I would like to have friends,lol. How does 1 go about that also for this site? I have a myspace....mickilei.....but if you look me up, you might think that I have LOTS OF FRIENDS, but they are mostly just for a game that I am temporarily into, Mobsters. So please write on request this site if you do in fact also want some friends from here.

 

Seems that I am always really into something, maybe after a few pounds roll off, I will be into something involving a form of exercise, who knows. Anyway, so I would love some responses to all that I've wrote. I will be starting a journal on my next blog. Not sure if I am starting that tonight(I am tired right now) or tomorrow.
