Las Vegas, Nevada & Orlando Florida, Get The Mini-Gastric Bypass for Life!!
I am in Onederland!!
Since I haven't posted anything in a while this will be a mishmash of stuff. First off, the MGB Retreat in Florida was awesome - met some great people and had a wonderful time. The clothing exchange was a lot of fun and I came home with some nice things. The bonfire was so much fun and the smores were delicious!!
Travelling with Ellen was a very pleasant experience - we both seemed very easy going so it was great!!
Next, last Saturday we had a SWO support group meeting in Vaughan. It was a small group but we had a nice lunch and enjoyed each other's stories and before pictures, except for Bev who has promised to bring hers to the next meeting (to be determined). We talked about our "gassy" issues and it was nice to have Ruth there, who is 2&1/2 years out to hear that our stories are somewhat similar. It was good to see Bev, Debbie, Cathy and Ellen (who finally arrived due to some travel issues). Kelty was there briefly but unfortunatley had to leave so we didn't get to have a good visit, but we will get together again soon.
People keep telling me that I don't need to lose any more weight - and that I should do something to stop the weight loss!! I can't believe it. I just tell them that when my body is comfortable with the weight it will stop. I weight myself usually every 2 weeks when I go to a specific gym. Well I weighed myself on Friday morning before my class and I was 198.8!!! I couldn't believe it - finally below 200. I can't remember the last time I was below 200 - what a great feeling!!
I am suffering right now with a terrible cold so I am sleeping a lot and my poor nose is so sore and I am tired now so heading off to bed!!

Mary MAry, you are a stunning woman!!! I know you look so good from seeing you in person! It is odd eh? I get the comments all the time too telling me to stop already. They say that if I lose the 50 more lbs I'd like to lose that there will be nothing left to me. I tell them, yeah there will 140 lbs worth! hahaha.
Missed you so much, wish I could have stayed, catch up soon, I'm sick too. Must be the stupid weather. <3 U! K-L~

Although I am still at the same weight as the Retreat I think my body is changing. I have people tell me that anyways. My daughter said my butt is getting smaller and to that I say good. I suffer from to much butt anyways. I went to a party Sat night and my husbands co-worker hadn't seen me since about 7 or 8 mos. out. They suffer from old men hearing so they were talking loud enough for me to hear from across the porch. He said Carol looks great and her face is beautiful. Needless to say I didn't have to ask where my hubby was the rest of the night. Right by my side. Anyways it made this girl that has been in plateau-ville for a long time feel pretty good. Carol

Mary, congratulations on reaching Onderland!! I have just arrived there myself, weighing in at 198 and it feels great!
I'm sorry that I missed the last SWO lunch, I guess I'm not on the site often enough to know what's happening, hopefully I can make it to the next one.
It's interesting how different people react to the weight loss isn't it? My sister has yet to tell me that I am looking good or ask how I am doing and my grandma thinks I should be done now, lol. I just try to take it all in stride and explain as you have that my body will find it's own leveling off point when it is ready, I'm just providing it with nutritious fuel for the journey and enjoying every day.
Sorry to hear that you have a cold, take care of yourself and get lots of rest and fluids.
