Guest guest Posted November 12, 2001 Report Share Posted November 12, 2001 Do you have another word processing program like WordPerfect?? There my be a Word " viewer " available. Someone who has downloaded and saved those files may also be able to convert them for you to a readable format. I wondered why someone didn't just take a few extra minutes to convert those Word files to HTML. I'd volunteer to convert it if someone else will upload them. Kathie << I will also try to wade through Hull's stuff but have found that my computer is really having trouble opening programs. I have somehow lost or never had programs that read many of what you all write your comments in. I think I need to get Microsoft Office or ??? to be able to really download these documents. Any other suggestions. >> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted July 17, 2006 Report Share Posted July 17, 2006 Yeah Barbara! Congratulations on no longer being obese! I'm looking forward to the day I can say that too. Ron Update Hi all, I know I havent posted in a while, I've been swamped with work and pretty much just lurking, but I wanted to share with everyone my newest accomplishment. As of today, I am officially only overweight - no longer obese. I still have 22.5 lbs to go to get me into "normal" but at about 7 months out I am about at the goal that Dr. Fisher set for me. I am so excited. Hope everyone is doing well and for those of your still working toward surgery, keep going, it's the best thing that ever happened to me. Barbara (LTLJSMOM) Dr. Fisher Orientation: 284.5 (7/5/05) Surgery: 250 (12/12/05) Today: 159 Goal: 150 (until plastics) 125.5 lbs gone but not forgotten!!!

Guest guest Posted July 17, 2006 Report Share Posted July 17, 2006 Barbara: You would have ever thought that being " over weight " would be an accomplishment?! I'm so happy for you. Aren't we lucky to have this space where we all know that getting down to being " over weight " is an occasion to share joy? Woo hoo for you!

Guest guest Posted July 17, 2006 Report Share Posted July 17, 2006 Wow, Barbara, I remember when we were posting about your surgery. What great news! Keep up the good work - you're an inspiration to all of us still struggling to get to that surgery date!

Guest guest Posted July 18, 2006 Report Share Posted July 18, 2006 Sigh, unfortunately due to my lack of height, I may never get to normal according to the charts. Even at my lowest of 150 I was still considered obese. I would have to get to 125 to be considered normal. > > > > Hi all, > > > > I know I havent posted in a while, I've been swamped with work and > > pretty much just lurking, but I wanted to share with everyone my > newest > > accomplishment.

Guest guest Posted February 3, 2010 Report Share Posted February 3, 2010 PC still having issues. My balance is greatly improved. Memory is still tore up. Still fighting depression. O good news almost a year nicotine free. I am weaning off Prednisone the med I love to hate. Through diet I have lost almost 70 lbs of the 100 lbs I gained in the Hospital. adding more cardio but is is hard the combo of Humira, Imuran, and Prednisone sure saps my energy level down. Sorry I have not been on much. I am fightinf to get this PC working properly. May need to save up and buy a new one. I hope to see my North Texas Sarc friends at the Support Group meeting on Feb 6. I hope and pray all my friends out there will be blessed with health and wellness. Greg aka Krumdawg " Now where did I bury that Bone....mmmm??
