Hello all, I hope everyone is well. I am about to go through a significant change in my life and have decided to go all the way. This morning I resigned from my job after almost 20 years with the same company. I am going to another company to a role that is a huge opportunity for me to take advantage of my current skill set, so the news is good.

I have also decided that I am going to make some other changes in my life to coincide with my career change. I have decided that I am going to re-commit to my weight loss program. I have lost 90 pounds to date but things have slowed down for the last month or so. I have decided that I must lose another 50 lbs over the next 6 months or so. To ensure that I do lose the weight I have decided that I am not going to post anything on LBT until I have met my goal.

When I do lose the 50 pounds I agree to post before and after pictures on the before and after thread. Until then I will only allow myself to lurk this challenge starts June 1 the same day I start my new job.

Hear is my mission statement

I am commited to losing 50 more pounds by November 30 2006. Until I do I will not be allowed to post any messages on LBT lounge. When I have met my goal I will post two pictures of myself, one a before surgery picture the other a 140 pound loss picture.

Talk to you all in six months

TommyO,

I would love to join you on this challenge. But I still want to post on here! I have 50 more to lose as well and I want to commit to this. I have been a bad example as a lapband patient and need to get back on the ball. I drink durning my meals, I have had a cheeseburger from Burger King!!!! The list goes on. I have recently seperated from my husband so I have been emotional eating as well. So I need to fix this. TommyO, Let's do this together!!!!!

Thanks,

Angie
