Iam 40 yrs old, mother of 5 ( 4 boys 1 girl) I lost my oldest son to cancer 8 yrs ago and my youngest was diagnosed with cancer at the same time my oldest was battling his cancer, this is where my wieght gain came from, I was put on anti depressants because on top of all of that , my mother died 10 days before my oldest son died. I gained 70 lbs on paxil in 1.5 yrs, I was banded on April 6th 2004 by Dr. Ortiz

I had a pleasant journey I had one major comlication I had complete bowel obstruction in April of 2005 and had surgery by Dr. Ortiz to fix it. other then that my band did it's job.

I lost 105 lbs in 18 months then my band eroded in November of 2005 I had it removed on Nov 28th 2005. SInce then I have gained back 4 lbs UGGH!!!

I refuse to gain this weight back. I need a kick in the ass. Someone like all of you to keep me accountable and to report into every week.

So my starting weight as of tonight is 168

Can someone explain the big scarey scorecard to the newb?

I don't do it, and you don't have to. Some folks like the checking off the list every day. It helps you stay on track, then at the end of the month, whoever has the most points wins a "medal" to put in their sig. Cool! But it's too much for me.

You copy and paste the scorecard onto a post, then go in daily and edit, checking off your points as you go. You just gotta remember what page your scorecard is on so you can find it quick. Make sense?

Jeeze LaMadam.. *sighs* Woman, how are you still functioning? *big hugs*

Um.. wow.. what an inspiration you are. I'm thrilled you have joined us. So thrilled.

So um.. (wow.. youre one strong woman!) .. wow

I'm almost too speechless to say anything.. um. Ok.

Do you want your stats up there on the members' page? If so, I'll need your highest weight, your weight at surgery, the weight youre at now and your goal.

By the way.. you got me in the tanning beds this year, and I didnt burn at all. For the first time in my life, I have a tan! That sounds so shallow now. Hm.. wow.
