Hello. I'm 34 for another week anyway. I live in southern Indiana. I'm divorced with two kids, 12 and 4. I started this journey last April. I've been approved by my insurance company and have gone through EVERYTHING needed to have the surgery. For some reason, I can't lose the 5% I need to in order to get my surgery date. I exercise...eat right (most of the time). I've been on Optifast since last Saturday hoping to speed up the weight loss; however, when weighed at the Dr.'s office on Wednesday the loss was only 2lbs. My scale that morning said a loss of 7lbs. I even weighed before I went to the Dr's office and the scales are 1.5lbs in difference (Dr's weighing more). Anyway, the whole thing has gotten me so FRUSTRATED!!! If anyone can give me any pointers, please feel free....

<p>Jim,</p> <p> </p> <p>I'm a big fan of the show. I've watched each season. Recently they had a "Did they keep the weight off reunion". I'm here to tell you that I don't believe any of them kept off everything that they lost. The guy that won last year put back on 30-40lbs. You could see it in his face. Overall though, they did look good and none of the ones that were on the reunion show went back to their beginning weight. I don't know about the ones that didn't appear...hmmmm???</p> <p> </p> <p>Shontay</p>

I like all of the names. I was thinking of "Gifted Garnets" since we will all receive our biggest gift in January and the birthstone for most of January is the garnet. Keep the names coming.
