Hi Debbie:
I'm about your age, live in Illinois (am VERY happily married, so I don't want to sound like I am hitting on you!) but just wanted to welcome you as others have too. Alas, I have been so busy with so many other things that I have been terrible about keeping in touch with TT folks, and I am overwhelmed that there are like 20 pages of new posts. I have got to get my numbers updated and get some new pixs of myself taken. (Hope that doesn't sound too egotistical.) My doctor and his staff said I am months ahead of the goal of losing 100lbs in 12 months. I have hip replacement surgery scheduled for October and my wife and I pastor a church in the sw 'burbs of Chicago (Downers Grove). I wish you all the very best! GBS is one of the very best decisions I've ever made for myself--the weight's still coming off and I've already lost over 90 lbs since mid-April of this year. (Yeah, guys tend to lose quicker than women, but hey, whatever works...) Anyhow, welcome! It's great to see someone else from IL.
