If anyone is in the neighborhood on that date, come to Dr. R's meeting. I'm going to tell my story, and it'll be complete with pictures and some pieces of my old wardrobe for "show and tell". HA!

I am not a great public speaker, but this is the way I'm going to give back since I never did a letter.

Dr. R. does a podcast (or whatever it's called), so turn in to the meeting those who live too far away!

Chris Wenger, who has now lost 150 lbs. since 1/7/09 !!!!!!!!!!

I just had to crow.

I've lost 100 lbs. ONE HUNDRED!!

My MGB was on January 7th of this year.

I am wearing clothes that I never thought I'd ever wear-clothes that I've saved and just couldn't part with.

It was just something that Mom decided she had to do. Sh… Continue

Today (3/29/2009), I hit the closet and dug out two green Rubbermaid bins that contained clothes that I could never part with, no matter what.

I'm talking clothes from my honeymoon almost twenty-seven years ago.

I'm taking about white painter pants that I remember wearing at my first camp on Lake Ontario. Pants that remind me of fun filled, younger days and thinner days when I could walk the beach for miles and miles....

I pulled out those white painter pants and tried them on...no go! They w… Continue

I can't believe that it's been two months on March 7th (yesterday!). I've lost 45 lbs. to date.

It's getting s-l-o-w....and there are times when I wonder if I did the right thing. And times when I know absolutely that I did do the right thing.

It's hard eating so slow that everything gets cold. I hate that "heart-attack" feeling in the middle of my chest when I'm not being careful. I miss coffee and tea. And more.

I need those estradiol patches...constantly. Now if they'd only stay on and not… Continue
