Hello all, it has been a while since i have posted and i am feeling very bad for that...life has been a struggle in the past month and i just haven't had any words to type to anyone...the issues have nothing to do with surgery...but they have been bad. As for the surgery I am doing great...I hit 80lbs gone today in 4 months and 5 days...I am now almost in a size 11...from a 22 4 months ago...i feel wonderful and beautiful!! I have started a relationship with a guy...which also has not happened to me in years...so over all i can not complain too much....the issues I stated before have somewhat to do with surgery...because of surgery I missed alot of work, and now I am finding it very hard to catch up financially....and its very hard on me. To top it off my company i work for is going down the drain and i was just cut from 45+ hours a week down to 17 a week...so yup...lifes a little rough...but now that i have much more free time i plan on coming on here daily and catching back up on everyone elses journeys!!! I hope you all are doing well!

Amanda!
I've wondered about you!
I'm sorry about your work situation...can you take your new found confidence and energy, and find something else? or is your job specialized?

You are doing great, your new avvie is just beautiful!
I'm glad we'll be seeing you around more!
