Hi Maysters!

Sorry I have been so MIA lately. Glad to see everyone is doing well with surgeries, grandbabies, etc. So we are all over ayear out now. Seems amazing. Hope this coming year is half as ggod as the last. Maintenance has been a struggle for me so far. Loosing was easier. Sounds crazy, huh? I guess I am an all or nothing kind of guy. I have crept just outside of the maintenance range I set for myself, so I am back at it to get back down to where I feel comfortable. Thanks to Alicia for encouraging me to excercise, I went to the gym for the first time in well over a month this morning. It felt real good. I go for a fill on Friday. We catered in lunch last thurday at work, I was able to scarf down a hamburger patty and a hot dog (without the bread) in about 10 minutes, talk about no restriction:( I will try to keep ya'll updated more often. :welldoneclap:

Thanks for the reply OU! Maybe this will prompt some more replies!

Two years is coming up quickly. Lets get on here and catch up Maysters!!

I have reached the 100 pound goal, I've held steady for quite some time now. I started working with a personal trainer this January and have lost many inches! Neat to see and feel the muscles some of which I didn't realize I had! The big 50th B'day is this July too! Oh the fun!!

Got laid off from my job last month, bummer but that just pushes me into a new direction I think.

Will be getting a brand new Grandson within the next few days... at least my very pregnant Daughter in law hopes anyway. Update: She's having labor pains as I write to tonight may be the night! Yippeee!

Still working toward my degree, hoping to have that BBA by the end of the year.

Sure hope all are well and good on this fine day.

Congrats!!

You have done really well. You have a lot going on and are still maintaining. That is wonderful.

I reach goal weight in February 2007 and have maintained pretty well since. By pretty well, I am about 25 pounds over where I said I wouldn't exceed, but am working to get that back off now. I am about 2 months post op from tummy tuck. The second best thing I have done for myself besides the band. It did wonders for my self esteem I have a link in my signature for pics. Everything else is going well.
