MAKING CHANGES

Ooooh! Oooooh! Add me to the challenge!

My highest weight was 225.

My surgery was December 12th.

Surgery day weight was 220. (No pre-op diet.)

I'm now at 205.

My goal for January is a 10-lb. loss.

My goal weight is 140. (I wouldn't complain about 130!)

Got you added Veronica! BTW I used to live in Stafford. Hope your not having any snow right now!

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.

sorry forgot my goal weight. I am going to say 15 lbs.

Got it added Jewels!

My personal goal is 190.

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!
