misschrissie,

I know what you mean about having a life!! Now that I dont feel tired all the time, and CAN run, and CAN bike, and CAN do lots of stuff, I WANT to, whereas I never wanted to before, even if I could have...I was too tired all the time. Now I am scuba certified, I am going to go skydiving, and learn how to rollerskate(grew up in INOLA, dirt roads, never had the chance to learn), I am going to go down to Dallas to the Six Flags hurricane harbor, and try my hand at surfing. Geesh, its SO much better to fit in, and not be afraid of failing in front of people, 'cause I am not so different now. Just a bit overweight, not a hog. I love what the LAP-BAND® has done for me. I have lost 62 ish lbs now, and I can't wait to get to my goal, I may even surpass it. My original goal was 150, but hey, who knows?

I don't know who is willing to drive, or for how long, but the riverwalk in tulsa has a great atmosphere with live bands every fri, sat, and sunday, we could all share appetizers, or just eat the chips...LOL. We could stroll along the river too. Its nice cause its way up right now, we actually have water!!! Woo Hoo! I think it would be a nice rendevous place for us to meet, but I am willing to drive, also. So lets discuss meeting somewhere and sometime!!

Kristi
