Thanks Pete!

I lived in Stafford for 10 years, but moved (back) to Spotsylvania a few years ago. (Pentagon Pete makes more sense now.) They're calling for ice storms tonight. When I was a kid, we got nice fluffy snow. Now that's a rarity and ice is the norm.

BTW - Congratulations on your spectacular weight loss thus far. My doctor is making wait 6 weeks before I exercise. :wink_smile:

Before I moved down to Florida just over 2 years ago I was in Stafford just off of Winding Creek road for about 3 and a half years and then up in Alexandria for 10 months. I was working at the Pentagon thus my yahoo name of PentagonPete. And before all that I was back in Oregon with a short time in Colorado and Idaho. I tell everyone that I am the gypsy of the family. LOL The longest I have lived in anyone place since I left home after high school was when I lived in Stafford.

So yeah the snow and ice just sounds like so much fun. Not! We're enjoying our 70 and 80 degree weather with blue sky and at this time of the year lower humidity! Best time of the year to be in Florida. (especially this year with all the winter storms)

I'm a lifetime VA resident. *sigh* I'd love to move somewhere warmer, but my job (Quantico) keeps me here.

Gotta stretch your wings our Veronica and see what else is out there :wink_smile: - But then again Spotsy is a decent place to live and in this day in age a good job is something to hold onto.

That's very cool! I have a good friend of mine that my wife and I come visit a few times a year that lives in Richmond. It's amazing how many people I meet from Virginia. LOL

That's due to good ol' southern cooking! A lot of us have a "few" pounds to lose.

Mary Washington is down the street from me. Obama campaigned there in the fall. What an amazing crowd that was!

      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? 🤷‍♀️
