The redhead

We stayed on the big island and hiked all over it. The best by far was a 12 hour overnight hike to and through the lava fields! I walked like john wayne the next day but it was more than worth it! I hope to visit the other island next time

still going strong! Past 30 and spent 7 days hiking in Hawaii. Never could have done that before:)

Great! Something interesting gets posted and I'm a few hours too late to read it. Grrrrrr.

I thought it was good too. Sure, you were a little free with the love, but being new to the dating scene, I would think that it'd be trial and error for a while until you got into the swing of things, and what works for you.
Don't let people judge you. F what they think, at least you were brave enough to post it for all to see and you wanted feedback.

Redhead, don't let people intimidate you. I thought it was a great story!

Rattlesnake, one of my faves and is getting easier every time and always worth the mini view:)

I cannot believe you blanked out "d**k". It's a name!!

This kinda sounds like a d**k Tracy story.

I'm single& 30. Sleeved 11/16/12. I live in central Illinois, not exactly a hotspot but I love all my funny, hard-working midwesterns. I'm celibate--I sell a bit and I give a little bit away. Jk. I love that joke tho. Hoping for love& lust in 2013.

Hi everyone. Fellow sleever and single here. Tega Cay, SC, just south of Charlotte, NC. 43 years old. Been single for a long time. Need to fell better about myself first, then everthing will fall into place.
Just sleeved on Mon Nov 12, so still in my recovery stage. Best thing i ever did!!!!

Here's my story: I had my first appointment with my dr in August and a few weeks later my wife (a bander that recently lost about 80lbs) decided to end our marriage to be with a co-worker. We had a great marriage and it took me by surprise. It was hard because we have two kids and we were married for 9 years. It's a bummer that your best friend could leave you and replace you so quickly, but I'm optimistic about the situation though. I have my surgery next month and I'm glad that I have so many new beginnings happening in my life. Anyone else have any experience with ex's, friends, or family losing a signifcant amount of weight and having a drastic personality change like that?

I am single and have pretty much been single my whole life except when I had my daughter, couldn't do that alone lol. I found it hard to let someone else like me if I didn't like me so I pretty much stayed the "friend". Hopefully as I lose weight I will begin to like myself and allow someone else to like me or maybe love me. I was just sleeved on Mar 19 so a long way to go yet.

Newly single, newly sleeved, New me .. I am looking for other single sleevers out there to talk about single life, before during and after the sleeve. Maybe a place were us singles can come together and talk about whatever who knows maybe Someone can find love.. In a loveless world. So if you are single and out there lets hear from you..

I drink unsweetened tea with a little Splenda. Dr said it was fine.

Have you seen Jacob or Edward on your hikes? Lucky girl. LOL

I started pouring my bottle into a plastic cup.it went alot easier

Seems like your taking charge and winning! You're looking great and hiking is such a wonderful workout! I love the pictures your posted... but I must admit I'm kinda jealous... I have two feet of snow in my back yard!

I feel ya! I have started buying the 8oz bottles because it just seems easier to get down. I USED to luv drinking Water and never had issues but it's different now. I have tried crystal light and mio but everything just tastes too sweet:-\ I guess it's a good problem to have because I don't crave anything sweet at all. Makes me nauseous. ..I luv ur pics! I live in the tx panhandle...nothing pretty here!! Congrats on ur weightloss!!
highest weight 224#<br />sx weight 212# (11/20/12)<br />current weight 180#(2/8)

Well congrats girl, you look great. As far as the Water have you tried varying temperatures? I usually can only drink room temperature.

I had a problem with Water going down "hard" to. I bought the mini water bottle with the squirt sport tops and it helped a lot. I guess just squirting it in my mouth gives me better sized sips and way less air. So far it has helped tremendously.

Love your title! It could be my daily anthem....
I've started using a straw which has helped...for some reason it goes down easier and quicker....
Where is the location of your hike? Looks like a beautiful area..

So regardless of how obese I am or have been I have always been in sports and loved running. now that I am 50 lbs down from highest and 30 from surgery I feel like I can become more serious about being active in these ways. The gym today was great, its always hard getting myself there but once I am I enjoy it. I love laying in the sauna relaxing afterwards too! My goal is less about weight-loss with the gym (thats what my diet is for) its is more about building lean muscle, losing inches and getting tighter. I know the skin will be an issue at the end regardless but I want more lean muscle
