    So over the last couple weeks I reconnected w a very long time friend from school. Back then he thought I was out of his league' date=' I guess due to me being a cheerleader, smart, he says absolutely beautiful. He has always loved my smile and eyes.. I liked him a lot back in the day and was too shy to admit. But he was one of my best friends in school. We have been talking a lot lately and I am flying to GA at the end of the month to see him again. First time seeing him in 22 yrs.

    I'm so excited, very nervous. He was a marine for 20 years and I always followed him to make sure he was ok. He didn't know that but I worried about him every time war heated up. I had his contact info a few times over the years but never contacted him. I think I was too scared, chicken.< /p>

    Good news is he has felt the same for me. In a few (3-4) months he just might be moving back home. God I've missed him over the years and even though we actually reconnected as friends 7 or a couple more years ago, he has always been in my heart and timing was never right. Now it is for both of us. I'm so scared. We have been great friends for at least 26 years. Any thoughts or opinions. I've always loved him (but only as a friend cuz i didn't know he wanted more as I did) and missed him and always wanted more. He does too. Seems the feeling is mutual.

    That's awesome!! I am so happy for you...they say that the greatest love comes from being the greatest friends first. Everything happens for a reason and at the time when it is supposed to. Don't be scared, be confident and beautiful and have fun. I wish the best for you :-)

    I am 5 1/2 months out and have had pizza multiple times (just one piece) and I have had taco bell multiple times. I haven't tried any sweets or sugar but eat pretty normal just in moderation. I make sure to stay at 1000 calories and 60-80 grams of Protein. I have lost 95 pounds as of this morning :-)

    I'm sorry to hear u are struggling so much, I am 4 months out and do not feel like I have a pouch either. I have never dumped and feel completely normal. I have to continue to remind myself why I have had this done. I have been very successful and I will share what I am doing. I have my fitness pal on my phone and I count every single calorie that goes in my mouth. I make sure to get between 60-80 grams of Protein a day. I have found that if I do 1000 calories for a couple days, then go down to 600 for a couple days, it seems to keep my metabolism going. I am down 87 pounds.... Keep your head up and your eye on the prize :-)

    Thank you heather and I'm sorry u went through that. People can be so mean, I don't get it. Life is to short, we should all treat each other how we would want to be treated but unfortunately that doesn't happen. They won't be laughing at us anymore........go us :-)

    I had a very emotional non scale victory this weekend. It was a year ago this week that I took my 3 little ones to the Wisconsin dells for spring break, I remember being so embarrassed that I couldn't fit into the tube on the lazy river. I had to hold onto Tue outside of the tube. This past weekend and almost 4 months out from my surgery, I took my children to an indoor waterpark, I was astonished to see how easily the tube slid right over me, I literally started tearing up. Not only that but I went down the waterslides with my children multiple times. It definently paid off because I lost another 2 pounds just over the weekend for a total loss of 72 pounds. I thank god every day for this opportunity to start a new life.

    How is everyone doing?? I am 13 weeks out and am down 68 pounds but have slowed down the last 2 wks. I am happy with my progress though but still have a ways to go. I am great at eating but slacking going to the gym. I really need to step it up. Is anyone using my fitness pal?? My username is laurelle1980....hope everyone is well and keep up the good work :-)

    Mine are 16. However' date=' I lost my son at birth.

    I am so happy for you guys it is a blessing (I know it might not seem that way sometimes) that was taken away from me :-( I miss him everyday and wonder what he would look like. Him and his twin sis looked actually very close to identical at birth. He was just an inch and half longer. When I looked down at him and her, with their eyes closed they were the same. When I watch her when she falls asleep on the couch watching a movie or something, I try to picture him as he would be now. But all I can picture is him then. It is a memory I pray will remain with me until I pass.

    Aww.... Gen. I knew u lost a son but didn't know it was one of the twins. I feel horrible for bringing those bad memories up. As hard as it is and as much as I struggle, I thank god every day for bringing them into my life. They are definently my blessings and I will think of you when I am feeling overwhelmed and it will remind me to be greatful.....thank you for sharing your journies in life.
