I just wanted to stop by and say hi to everyone. I have been lurking around the site for a week or so now and I have seen and heard some wonderful things going on in this community. I have noticed a very close family - like setting of unique and diverse individuals and I love it. Everyone can have an opinion and people accept it and motivate and keep striving for what the ultimate goal is, a healthy life at a healthy weight. I am impressed and I hope I can be accepted among you to give and get experienced opinions and motivation. Thanks for reading and if you would like to be friends or get to know me better please drop by my page and give a hello! Thanks and have a Blessed weekend...oh and Happy Fathers day to all you dads on here!!

Thank you DeAna and Risky!! I too research and read everything wls. This has not been a decision made lightly or on a wim. I know this is the right step for me. I have ben overweight for 20yrs and have tried everything so this is my reset button! AND IM HITTING HIT! HAHA IM SO READY!

I love that thought "reset" I'm so ready to push that button too I'm trying not to be impatient but its hard its hard for me not to complain when I just started my journey 10May and so many others have been trying for so much longer but I still feel like pouting and saying "are we there yet(in the voice of a lil brat) oh well I have a few more hoops to jump then I'm waiting on insurance to tell me my fate

I am impatient!! No doubt about it lol. I have been waiting 20 yrs to get back to health so the sooner the better
