vnderachiever 3 Report post Posted June 8, 2012 Dropped 54 lbs in just over 5 months, started at 303 and this AM i'm under 250. i've only played hockey twice in the past 5 months, one time being last friday, and it's ridiculous how much more energy I have out there. the next 30-40 lbs are gonna be the hard part!

sharks25 9 Report post Posted June 17, 2012 I was able to go to the US Open today for free. The people that took us even had a luxury tent right on the 16th fairway with unlimited free food and drinks. Complete with TVs so that you could watch if while you rested. Awesome day :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

chippa13 1844 Report post Posted June 20, 2012 It is a weird feeling when you think about the time you have stolen. I'm 3 1/2 years past being hit with the paddles on the table of the cardiac cath lab. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sdcopp 1 Report post Posted July 2, 2012 Feeling really blessed today living in Colorado Springs. The community has really come together after having so many people lose homes here in the wildfire last week. I was able to provide some kid items and money for a co-worker who has lost his home which has really made it a good day. Anyone who works in emergency services, thank you for everything you do to keep your communities safe Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JSK81 400 Report post Posted July 13, 2012 Depends what you're riding to the moon. As to the price - ouch!Hope to see you there.There were cheaper flights available, but they would've involved changing airports from JFK to LGA between flights. Also the total travel time would've been several hours longer. Considering the distance, I don't think it's such a bad price for a roundtrip.I'm really excited to see all of you too! This is also my first time visiting the US. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This is also my first time visiting the US.Good move. Going from LGA to JFK is punishment for shoplifting in New York. Not having to do that is worth a whole lot of Euros. Safe travels, hope it's a great trip. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
