Thanks Shalee - you look fabulous too!

Hi everyone! It's been forever since I was on here, but I thought I'd check in. I tried to attach before & after pics, but I am so computer-dumb that I don't know if it will work! If it does work, the pic w/ white background is the morning of surgery (11/2/07) and the one with red background is 3/22/09. Hope everyone is doing great! Can't believe we are coming up on 2 years! Take care. Robin

Hello out there??... How the heck is everyone doing??? Robin

Hey, everyone! How's it going? Just wanted to wish my fellow Wisconsinites Happy Holidays! Robin

Hi Deb! Congratulations on the surgery. At 4 weeks out, the worst is behind you! This Sunday will be my 1-year "bandiversary". I consider it to be the one of the best things I've ever done. I was lucky and had no complications. The best part: I have lost 117 pounds. I'm even able to run 3 miles every other day! That's something I never dreamed I'd do. I can't say that I LOVE to do it, but I do it JUST BECAUSE I CAN!!!!! I also had Dr. Kemmerling. Don't you love Mary E.?! She's the best. Good luck to you! Please keep us updated on your progress. Also feel free to private message me anytime. Take care! Robin

Hey, Sorry I didn't notice your reply til now. I haven't been around much lately. Yep, I'm still losing. Sometimes I'm not quite sure how! I was hoping to be at my goal by my 1 year banding anniversary, but I'm afraid I probably won't make it. Especially since we are leaving tomorrow for a week at Disney World! I will be thinking of all my cold-weather frineds while I'm in Florida... Take care! Robin

Good morning friends! I just wanted to share that I have made it to Onderland! 199 pounds as of this morning. Thanks for listening and have a great day! Robin

That's awesome!

Thank you!

You can run 10K without stopping????????? You're my hero!

Thank you so much! It really does feel good to see a "1" at the start of my weight. I honestly don't have a secret. I wish I did! I started the Couch to 5K program a few weeks ago, so I think that has probably helped. Thanks again for your support. It means the world to me! Robin

Great job, WYD! Today I started my 4th week of Couch to 5K! Yay for us all! Robin

How is everyone doing these days??? Robin

thank you!!!!

Hi everyone, I haven't been around too much lately, but I wanted to share this with others who can appreciate: as of this morning (and according to MY scale anyway) I have lost 100 pounds since beginning my pre-op diet on Oct. 26, 2007. Have a wonderful day everyone! Robin

THANKS EVERYONE! I really appreciate the support. As of today I am down 102 pounds and am 3 pounds away from ONEDERLAND! Thanks again! Robin

My fellow Wisconsinites; 'Tis truly a sad day for Packer fans everywhere, with the retirement of Brett Favre. Let us all bow our heads in a moment of silence to acknowledge the passing of a great era... Robin :rolleyes2:

Well, Lizalee, I gotta' tell you that my opinion of Brett Favre has changed A LOT. I'm now glad he's gone and hopefully the media circus will end. Don't get me wrong - I was a big Favre fan, but I really think he acted like a princess through this whole thing. Most of you probably know that after his tearful retirement speech, a few weeks later he told the Packers he changed his mind and wanted to play. Awesome news. Right before the Packers were going to announce his return, he changed his mind AGAIN and "retired" AGAIN. After all that he seemed surprised and even angry that the Packers organization was not begging him on bended knee to come back! They had moved on, rightfully so, with Aaron Rodgers. And who could blame them? Brett Favre does not make the team's executive decisions. They have people to do that!! Anyway, I think the Packers are going to be just fine without him. Rodgers looked pretty good in the pre-season game last night. I wish Brett success as a Jet, but I have a funny feeling about how well he will do there... Robin
