Back from Arizona now, weighed myself this morning. I am down 1.5 this week, was hoping to be down 2, but I'll take what I can get.

Things are going alright. The service was really nice. I gave the eulogy. That was hard, but I was glad to share some stories.

You're such a wonderful and brave woman! I bet the eulogy was beautiful. The ones done by family members are always extra special because we all know how difficult it is for that person to get up there in front of everyone during such a sad time. I think that is amazing of you.

Hold tight to those stories and those sweet memories. I believe they are gifts from above. Gifts that we will have in our hearts forever.

Bless you Marie!

Love,

dee~

Gang,

Do we have a red robin night for May? How is Monday the 11th for everybody?

Gang,

I'd love to be able to catch up with you all sometime. I'll be there the night of the 12th for a fill, any chance you could change the meeting to then?

Marie, it's so wonderful that you were able to give the eulogy. You will always be happy that you did it.

Deb, this has to be so tough right now with your mom. Hang in there and take care of yourself. I wouldn't spend much time worrying about your weight. There are more important things to do right now.

So today I am officially down 60 lbs from my preop weight! YAY! I decided it would be good to post before and present pics for myself.

Sunshine,

You look great. Getting an hourglass figure I see. Keep up the great job.

I can't do the 12th, but if that date is better for more people, I don't mind missing out.

[minidriver 0]

Marie, you look beautiful! You are so curvy . . .

I found out some really bad news today. My cousin is 28yo, married, mother of one, and 2 months pregnant with her 2nd child. During one of her exams, they found a growth. She found out on Monday that it's cancer. Cervical cancer, and they must terminate the pregnancy, immediately do a full hysterectomy, and get her started on chemo. They haven't yet tested to see if it has spread, or how far it has spread, to her other organs. She is in the process of going for a 2nd opinion, and I'm sure, a 3rd opinion. It's an extremely difficult time for our entire family.

I just can't understand why these kinds of things always happen to the people who least deserve it.

Oh, Jaime, that's just horrible. That poor woman. Well, hopefully they caught it early and it can be successfully treated. Wow, it seems like we've had more than our fair share of loved ones with cancer on this board lately.

[jmegirl 2]

I was thinking the same thing Mini. It's horrible just how much we've all been hit with so far this year.
