KAATNS

I need something good to read at the beach this year. Last year I read the 50 Shades series and haven't been able to read a book since.

That should make for frequent follow-ups! I like it.

Nope, no more Taco Bell, McDonalds and Dominos for me. No desire whatsoever.

Welcome!!

Wow, so cool that you remembered the proposal date! Way to go TPops!

Lucky girl! Sounds like you have a great supporter!

I took 10 days off and that was perfect for me.

How did you manage to keep that from your spouse? Did you do a pre-op diet? My port protrudes a little, but I wouldn't say it "shows"- at least not yet. Gosh, I hope you find a way to share your weight loss journey with your partner. Best wishes to you!

Be compliant, be accountable and get moving.

Welcome to your new life. Enjoy the ride!

Appeal right away.

Talk to Draven. That is who he went to. Best wishes.

Sorry about your surgeries. I would try to focus on what you CAN do instead of what you can't do. How about swimming, walking around the block or even just doing some arm work with 2 lb. weights? Any movement is going to be better for your overall health (physical and mental) than sitting all day. Wish you all the best.

I can hook you up girl!

You're off to a great start with the exercising and smoking! Those are huge accomplishments already! I certainly had doubts and still get frustrated at times, but it has all been worth it so far. Best wishes to you!

Please don't compare your progress to anyone elses, which is hard. Trust me, I know. You are doing GREAT!!

Congrats and glad you're feeling better!

Yes ma'am. They typically run FSH (Follicle Stimulating Hormone), Testosterone and Luteinizing Hormone tests. Your OB/GYN or PCP can order these tests.

Special K Bars, Splenda, mints, gum and Dove Chocolate that has been there for about a year.

That's freakin awesome Catfish! Woohoo!!

Hey pretty lady, it's not too early to start having them unfortunately. Your doctor can run some blood tests to see if you are in menopause. Those supplements do sound amazing though.

Do you have flexible spending at work?

My actual weight loss has been slower than I thought it would be, BUT I have also lost quite a few inches and clothing sizes so I am pleased. Yes, I exercise reguarly at home and at the gym. I started off walking on the treadmill and now I've started running and I absolutely love it. Feel free to ask anything you wish, I'm happy to help.

Not a darn thing but a smile!

January 11, 2013. I'm happy with it so far!
