Such fun to see those pictures Di and Lisa! Add me to the meet-up list; my location is NH. It may take me awhile as I would not be able to pull off anything like Vegas, etc., but I look forward to meeting my peeps whenever that happens. Boston would be ideal for me, could probably figure out NYC and possibly join one of the NY chapter meetings there at some point. We've got the seeds planted -- that's the main thing.

Thanksgiving we are going to Montreal. I'm so happy about that. It's about a five hour drive north from where we live and we'll hear a lot of music.

A couple of the windows at Lord & Taylor set up for Christmas. What a treat! Oh, and then I went into the store to see if there were any sales and found two dresses I got for work...one was a Ralph Lauren and the other was an Elie Tahari. Well made clothes really do feel and fit so much better than the cheaper stuff. Oh, and one of the Ralph Lauren dresses I tried on made me look slutty according to my sister. I nearly bought it. I haven't looked slutty in the longest time.... :D

Enjoy the pics my friends.

Hi All,

It is amazing how fast the time has flown this year. It is hard to believe it has almost been a year since my 4 day weekend trip to NYC. Kelli and I had so much fun and look forward to going back again soon and who knows maybe meet a few of you.

I am 19 days away from the trip I promised myself 3 years ago if I were to ever make goal. Sometimes it still doesn't seem real to me. In 2011 I was nearly 500lbs and in a very dark place. I will never forget that chapter of my life and will use those memories to ensure I never go there again. I feel like I am in a dream at times and now in 19 days I am going to where dreams are made (WDW) and I am going to go on every single ride!!

I hope you are all doing well and dropping/maintaining as well as enjoying life :)

We want to see lots of pics Jim.... You and Kelli with Mickey, Goofy, Snow White, Donald Duck...etc. Congratulations my friend. Isn't living a normal life a wonderful thing? Your bucket list trip is Disney World and mine is the Far East. Unfortunately my dad is having some health issues and heart surgery has been scheduled for next month so the China trip over Christmas has had to be postponed but it might actually work out better as my sister is now considering going with me and my brother as long as we wait till the spring.

I promise you all a picture of me at The Great Wall or at the Forbidden City. Just thinking about it makes me want to cry because only two years ago, I thought my travel days were a thing of the past...and at only 54 years old too. Now the whole world has opened back up for me and I am grateful beyond words can truly express.

Hi everyone. Been very busy with husband and doctor's. He has COPD. I guess over 30 years of smoking 4-6 packs a day did it. His lungs are working 60%. How fun? But his meds are making him feel better.

​A few weeks ago we celebrated 44 years of being married. I posted our wedding picture on FB but I don't know how to post any pictures here.

Well, I guess the cold has hit us all. Yesterday I stood in a cold line for 1 1/2 hours with my older grandsons for a book signing of the newest Diary of a Wimpy Kid. I made the plans last week with them sitting at the table in a restaurant. Kids don't listen to adults. So they loved the surprise.

I would love to meet all of you. My husband, Mitch, thinks it's great I have met so many wonderful people that all can relate to WLS. One of the FB people said this morning after 26 years and 5 kids her husband wants out. That is sad. One of the men said maybe he can't deal without the fat wife. You hear so much about this, it's very sad that men are threatened by a healthier and thinner wife.

Jim and Kelli, have the best time. I have not been to DW in over 26 years. So many new things have happened since then.

Well everyone have a great warm and dry day.

Arlene aka Eye Candy

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
