Ok May banders I'm ready to move on pass all the surgery and liquid diet part. I need someone that I can check in with every night. I need some one that will be my partner that I can tell all of my cheat and victories too. I need some one that will not be afraid to yell at me when I didn't go to the gym like I was suppose to or follow my diet correctly or to cheer me on. I will share my ups and downs. Now I don't have a problem posting to every one here in our group. But If that is what we all agree on than every one will have to check in every night or you will have to post the night before that you will be on vacation and returning on a specfic night. So I'm listening let me know what every one is wanting to do. I think every one of us needs help thru this journey. It is going to be one heck of a bumpy road.

Thank you Teara! Missed you around here! How does it feel to be in onederland? Would love to get there myself. Working out in a.m. Is hard for me but I can do that on the weekends. Weekdays I am going to try and do right after I get home but before I've had dinner and am all relaxed. Will let you know how it goes. Benefit of this job is I can afford a trainer 1-2x a week again. Yay!
