November already? Updates!

David & I just returned from a trip to Portland where we had a housewarming party for Molly & Chris and their new home. Pictured here with Dexter dog. We also went to the Oregon Coast and met up with one of my Weight Watcher on-line friends. Ellie & Jim are full-time RVers and were spending some time in Oregon. Ellie and I are pictured in the 2nd photo above. Prior to that my sister, mon & I went to Florida for my dear aunt Alice's 95th birthday celebration. It's been a busy fall but now we are headed into winter and will stay home for several months.

60th birthday Alaskan cruise, August 9-16

It's been a very eventful time since my last update. David & I celebrated our 22nd wedding anniversary on July 18. We went out for dinner with family and had a great evening. July 21 was my 1 year surgery anniversary and I am pleased with my 125 lb weight loss! August 9 David & I, Molly & Chris, mom, Peggy, Diane and Carol departed from Seattle for our long awaitied Alaskan Inside Passage cruise to celebrate my 60th birthday. What a wonderful week it was too. We did miles and miles of walking. Peggy treated me to a spa pass for the week so I did lots of soaking in the therapeutic mineral pool. I am a very lucky woman! I am grateful for my health, my family, my wonderful husband and my renewed energy. Mary Pat

June 28, attended wedding in San Diego

A few pics from the wedding I just attended in San Diego, Molly and her dear friend Danniell and me. Beautiful wedding, beautiful bride and I was so happy to be able to be there.

April/May updates

Haven't updated in a while. The picture to the left is my two nephews, Nicholas & Cameron on Easter Sunday. Above left is Molly & I in Portland on their deck this past Monday. Above right is mom on Mohter's day.

My weightloss has slowed down but then I have not been as diligent about going to Curves. Got to get moving again. I am down 117 lbs though so not complaining. I feel WONDERFUL. That is when I am not sleep deprived from working night shift!

HAPPY ST. PATRICK'S DAY

Hello everyone,

Here is my nephew the Leprechaun and herself at a fun party Saturday night. We are all so anxious for spring. My weight loss has slowed way down but I am at 106 pounds gone forever.

Our celebratory dinner at Red Lobster tonight

This is a red letter day for me! 100 pounds lost forever, never to be found again! I feel great. Had my 6 month post-op visit recently and my labs are all perfect. The surgeon called me a "poster child" for bariatric surgery! David & I are going to Red Lobster tonight to celebrate!
