Indeed. This is a sobering time, and my heart goes to everyone personally affected by this hideous attack.

My heart hurts for the people of Boston. From someone who was 3 blocks from the 9/11 attacks & lost 3 friends that day, it just makes me so numb that it's happening again...my thoughts & prayers go out to ALL of us. The world we are living in now is not the safe place that I grew up in....

So very very sad......and frightening. I don't think I could ever imagine why and how someone could do any act like this. My mind just doesn't work that way. An 8 year old boy, who just had run out to hug his dad who was running the marathon, than ran back to be with his mother & sister....he's now gone. How could that possible make sense?

My heart and prayers are with all of those affected by this crime. Those killed, hurt, the families of those folks, those who witnessed the devastation either by being there or seeing it on film, the first responders, those who ran toward the blast (even before knowing if there would be any others, and this was) the strangers helping strangers, the man, Carlos Arrendondo, who lost his Marine son in Irag in 2004,he was a spectator who rushed to the side of a young man who had lost both his legs tying tourniquets with a ripped tee shirt and wheeling him past the finish line to an ambulance - sending showers of Reiki healing, light and love.

I have to believe that we as good people of the world far outnumber those who do evil. I have to believe that. I have to.

My cousin usually runs in that Marathon. His time is 2 hrs and 45 minutes so he would have been one of the first to cross the finish line with his babies waiting for him there. I'm so thankful he didn't go this year!

My heart aches for those people. How scary that this could happen anywhere!

all of the above - and future posts say it all :(

we are living through the new normal, how sad is that :(

some people/sleevers have experienced serious problems

compared to what just happened in boston - schools kids

other problems here (gas, hunger) more inconvenience

puts certain "things" here et al in perspective :(

God please help this world we now live in

Got a text at 6am saying that work is closed, and to "stay inside until further notice". Never have I flown outta bed so fast at 6am! Such an eerie, tense scene here right now. The city is shut down, including many surrounding suburbs. Everywhere is on lockdown...they say over 1 million people are staying inside their homes/work right now. I know of a few VSG'ers who are supposed to be coming home from the hospital or have family visit, but can't because no one can go in or out. I graduated with the critically wounded transit officer...sat next to him in 3rd grade...heck, he's having surgery right now at the same hospital I'll be having mine on Monday! Way too close to home...way too close to everyone's home. *Prayers*

Suspect caught without any more lives lost. Far too many lives lost so far.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
