Ha! within minutes of sending hubby the sex/calories thing, he called me. Wants to know how many calories I want to burn in a day...wants to be supportive. Said he'll be home early.

What a guy!

Speaking of which, if anyone else needs a "workout partner", I'm single. Just offering to help support the group, of course. :heh:

I thought I posted my weights at one point, but I'll do so again. On March 31, 2006, I was 316 when I visited my family doctor. (I had previously gotten as high as 330.) At that point, I was on three different oral meds for diabetes and still not completely controlled. I contacted the Ohio State University Bariatrics department and began my quest. I had to do a 12 week supervised weight management program to qualify for the surgery. At the end of the 12 weeks (which was actually 13 weeks because I couldn't make it on the 12th week so sometime in July), I weighed 294. On my initial visit to the surgeon in early August, I was 288. On my birthday, November 2, I was 290. They weighed me the morning of surgery (11/7) but the weight was so ridiculous I don't use it. As of Monday, I'm at 258, so 32 pounds in 12 weeks post surgery. Don't have a specific goal weight, per se, but a waist size, but somewhere around 225.

I'm 6'3", 43 years old, divorced (21 year marriage) with an 18 year old son. Ex and I get along great as long as we don't live together or talk about money. I live with my 3 dogs (two Miniature Australian Shepherds and a Corgi) and, hopefully this weekend, about 15 dairy goats. (Ex and I have raised goats for years and she's kept my goats from the time of separation until I found a goat-friendly property.) Finally found a place that I could afford that wasn't falling into the ground and bought it and moved in October. (I would NOT suggest buying a place, moving in, go to a week long convention then have LapBand surgery all within a month! And then get a new puppy a few days after surgery.) I live in North Central Ohio, north of Columbus.

Occupation wise I work for a major credit card company in customer service. (Basically means I sit on my butt all day, wear a headset and listen to people whine.) I did the whole corporate ladder thing and found the higher you climb the further you fall so now just coast along. Enjoy not worrying about my job until I clock in and forgetting about it as soon as I clock out. I'm a licensed dairy goat judge so from spring through fall, I travel the country judging shows and county and state fairs judging goats. (Being "licensed" means I've passed a test to become a goat-titty expert. :heh: )

I'll have to see if I have any G or PG pictures. :bandit

I'm looking for someone to take care of me for the rest of my life. Appearance means far less than size of the bank account. Please, no one who's bank account has undergone reduction surgery! :omg: Preferably very old too.

Any other questions?

And they say chivalry is dead.

Hey, I used to be a buckeye, and I have mini dairy goats...Nigerian Dwarfs. Also ex-corporate ladder for the same reasons. Too bad I'm married....and not rich.

With your new bod, maybe you can become a gigolo.

Actually, my ex and I have Nigerian Dwarves. (The NDs are hers. The Oberhasli are mine.) We have one of the more successful ND herds in the country and have raised them since almost the beginning. Not sure how into the breed you are, but the herd name is Buttin'Heads.

I've thought about the gigolo thing but there's the whole disease issue. Really would prefer a sugar mommy (hell, I'd take a sugar daddy at this point if he's really rich and really old <G>).

You are funny! By the way...we werre banded on the same day and have lost the same amount of weight!

Hey Tom, Where do I line up? Oh wait, I'm married . If I wasn't ,I'd be joining the lapmatch.com I have to say the nov bandsters are definately the fun ones. Do you travel out west to county fairs? I travel on the fair circuit but in Calif-Idaho and Nevada. I have a couple of food concessions plus manage the carnival office where i work. Yep, a carny and yes I have all my teeth. Our first fair is in 2 weeks..The Riverside County Fair and National Date Festval. No ,Tom not that kind of dates, its the fruit, SORRY

What the heck, bring your husband too! (Hmmm. I don't remember seeing that on the calorie burning chart but certainly that would have to increase the number of calories burned.)

Where I travel greatly depends on what shows ask me to judge. County fairs don't usually fly in judges due to expenses. I've judged a few shows in California and have judged in Idaho but none were fairs. State fairs typically have bigger budgets and bring in judges from out of the area but often times county fairs try to hire more local judges due to expenses. I haven't accepted as many assignments this year since I'm living alone and have the animals to worry about. When I'm gone, they'll still need care and finding responsible people to care for them is a challenge. My ex will come up and help (and I'll help with hers) but that would get very old if I were gone every weekend.
