Hey y'all. Work been crazy busy. So been moving there. Weather been crap in southern ohio. Haven't walked much outside of work. Did hunt the dogs last Saturday night. 3 mile hike.

We bought a camper! So we are planning some hiking trips this summer. Really want to be active.

Hey, @bacon! Good to hear from you. Congrats on that camper. We hike a lot in our area and really enjoy it. Like you, I just need/want to be more active.
How’s everyone doing??

[HalfCourt 17]

Oh ok. I’m in Ross County

[bacon 514]

Hey peeps. Hanging in there. Had a serious medical scare. Blood sugars out of control. On track for the moment. Hope all is well.

[bacon 514]

Hey y'all. Would like to hear from my peeps. Sugar has been on track for the time being. Lost 14 pounds. Hope all is well with you all.

Hey there @bacon! Congrats on that great loss! Sounds like you’re rocking and rolling.
I’m doing well, down 20 since the new year. Eating right and going to the gym five times a week. It’s amazing what can happen when I put forth some effort and do what I know to do. 😉
Who’s with us???

[bacon 514]

@s_suther way to stay focused. So glad to hear you doing so well. I really want and need to stay focused with some intensity. Not joined the gym yet. But am walking at least 30 minutes a day outside of work.

[s_suther 446]

@bacon - walking 30 minutes a day is fantastic!! Way to go!!

[bacon 514]

Hope y'all are well. Think I may have this diabetes thing moving in the right direction. Learning a lot. Have a plan. Sugar been good. Feeling good. Lost 20 pounds since the 11th of March.

[bacon 514]

Hoped to get support here. I hope you all are well. Feel free to chime in. My band removal surgery is scheduled for Thursday. I've had good success losing recently. Down 60 pounds since March 11th.

@bacon I didn’t realize you were having band removal! We’re you having a lot of trouble? I hope all goes well with your surgery. Please keep us posted and let us know how it goes

[bacon 514]

@2babutterfly, I had an emergency unfill a couple years back. Things were ok. Other than being super tight every few days. In March my diabetes got out of control and I started a diet to control my blood sugar. Started losing weight and my band started giving me great amount of shooting pains. About 4 times a minute. Memorial day I was working in the yard and started vomiting and dry heaving for the better part of 5 hours. I promised my wife I was having it removed. Fought this thing 11 and a half years. I'm just spent. Hope this group becomes active again and I can stay a part of it.

SO good to hear from you guys!! @bacon - I’m so sorry about your troubles, but sounds like you have a great plan in place. I suppose surgery is today and I’ve asked God for peaceful, comfortable, and quick healing for you, friend.

@2babutterfly - how’s life? You all healed and healthy after your health issues?
