WOW there is alot of new faces. Of course i haven't posted in a long time though. For those who are new, I had my surgery almost 4 years ago I lost 180lbs and i still have 30lbs to go...I have been on a plateau but I broke that 2 months ago and lost 10lbs. Alot has changed in the past years I just got recently divorced as of 2 weeks ago. We were married for 14 years and been together for 16. We have 6 beautiful children together. I work here in on the slope and I currently live in Mobile, Alabama but moving to West Virginia this time when I get off work. I seen what happened with our marriage after I had the weight loss surgery. I never really had much of attention from men other then my exhusband, and after I had the surgery and started losing the weight I started to LOVE the attention! Don't get me wrong the surgery was the best thing I ever did. My health started to go down hill and I needed to something about it. I realized that his insecurity was really kicking in. Then I started working here on the slope and that made it worse and then almost 2 years ago I had plastic surgery done and that made it even more worse. So the past 2 years has been a journey for me. Now that I am single I am scared of dating again I wouldn't know what to do. So I decided that I am going to enjoy the single life and with my children as well. Even though we just got divorced me and my ex has a great relationship now then we ever had. Which is weird to me. Anyways enough about my personal life. I just started again on the protein shakes and taking vitamins. I have been trying to take care of myself alot more lately. I started working out again and of course here at work there is alot of stairs so I am always going up and down which is good. Started to eat more fruits and veggies again. The one thing that gets me while I am here at work is the pastries! So when I have that craving grab a piece of fruit or cheese. I would like to attend the Gala but everytime it happens I am here at work so hopefully this year it falls when I am off work. Well I know that I wrote a book I am sorry for the long post. Just been awhile since I posted here. For all you newbies welcome! I still some that posted when we had the surgery done HOW THE HECK ARE YOU? Well everyone take care and happy losing (weight that is)

Hi Helen good to hear from you. I hope the move to WV is a positive step for your family. Sometimes we just need to be single and get things worked out before getting involved with someone. I heard the gala is on the 23rd of Oct so hopefully you can make it. Much love to you.

Anyone know anything about this plastic surgeon? Dennis Lenhart .. in Wasilla. Seems that the military up here in Fairbanks is referring folks down to him. Can't find much online about him. Thanks!
