Congratulations on the grandbaby. They're fun aren't they? I have one and a second on the way in April. Can't wait!! Your pics are so inspiring. I'm down 56lbs after 9 mos post-op and getting kind of depressed. The scales have only went down 5lbs over the last 3 months. :-( Don't know what to do and my Dr is 5 hrs away. I need to call but I keep thinking the numbers have GOT to start dropping soon!

Thanks for the pick me up with the pics and keep up the good work. You are awesome!!

Hi Everybody!

I'm new here! I just got approved by my insurance and I am 2 to 3 weeks from surgery.

I'm 44. Married for 14 years with a 10 and 6 year old.

I live in Hawaii and I'm SO over avoiding the beach! I'm beyond excited that within a year I won't feel like I need to!

Congratulations and your right. The 40's are the new 20's (only with a little more maturity restraint, lol)!
