Re: [MGB] My Durham Experience #2 & THEN SOME

[Guest guest]

GOOD EVENING LADIES,

MY NAME IS DORY, AND I INTEND TO BREAK-DOWN AND

SELF PAY MYSELF ASWELL. I'VE BEEN WORKING ON QUALIFING

FOR THE MGB FOR OVER A YEAR NOW. I'M TOLD I'M TOO

''THIN'' FOR IT. SOOO, I'VE BEEN TRYING TO GAIN THE

LAST 20 LBS TO HIT 260. WHO KNEW I WOULD HAVE SUCH A

HARD ''GAINING'' WEIGHT. LOL. I'M 5'6'' AND AT 241

NOW, WITH A BMI OF 38.5 I'M ALSO COVERED BY TRICARE

SO THAT IS YET ANOTHER HURDLE I'M FORCED TO JUMP.

HOPEFULLY, I'LL GET TO USE DR R. BUT I'M NOT SURE.

I'M IN GERMANY, SO MAY HAVE TO GO THROUGH THE DOC'S

HERE, 'IF' TRICARE EVENTUALLY APPROVES ME. I'V BEEN

TRYING TO KEEP UP WITH ALL THE HAPPENINGS HERE, AND AM

VERY IMPRESSED WITH THE LEVEL OF FRIENDSHIPS I'VE

NOTICED. I MOST DEFINATELY COMMEND EVERY ONE OF YOU!!

THIS IS AN IMPORTANT DECISION TO MAKE, SO ALL THE

INPUT REALLY HELPS. I HOPE I HAVE SOME INFO TO ADD

TO ALL OF YOURS BEFORE TOO LONG.

I WISH ALL OF YOU THE VERY BEST OF SUCCESS AND

HAPPINESS IN YOUR QUESTS TO LIVE YOUR LIVES.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME.

**** DORY ****
