I went on a special diet that only allow me 1500 calories a day and change my eating habits working with a dietitian who help set up what I could eat. Was hard to do, but it was nice to finally get it off.

Well done Ray.

Good for you Ray ! I need that will power.

I've got to work on the weight loss myself ,good job Ray.

You got some new additions to your family that seem to keep you motivated flash. By the way, how was the holiday for the boys ?

The holidays with the boys was great with one exception .One of the boys has pulled away from us and has'nt been here the last two weeks. He is going thru some hard times and we dont know how to help him.I think he is afraid of getting too close to us and getting hurt again but I dont really know. I'm going to continue calling him and inviting him over with the others and just hope and pray he can work thru his problems. We miss him a lot but dont want to push him farther away from us.

Suggestion flash. Send him a card/letter and tell him that you are concerned about him and that you are there for him. Include an addressed envelope and a piece of paper so that he may write back to you. Sometimes it is easier for kids to write things down, and not do things face to face. Good Luck.

Thanks for the suggestion Ms Grumpy as I had not thought of that .I really want him to come back to us as we miss him terribly and he was doing so much better.
