88 POUNDS DOWN AND COUNTING.....

HOW MUCH DIFFERENCE CAN THOSE 88 POUNDS MAKE? WELL LET ME TELL YOU..A LOTTTTT. I'M OFFICIALLY OFF MY HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE MEDICATION AND THAT'S A REAL VICTORY FOR ME. I'M WATCHING WHAT I EAT AND TRY TO DO THE RIGHT THING. I HAVE BEEN READING ABOUT PEOPLE WHO ARE WORRIED ABOUT GAINING WEIGHT BACK BUT I BELIEVE THAT IF YOU DO YOUR PART THE SURGERY WILL DO ITS PART AND WE WILL BE OK, JUST OK. SO TAKE IT EASY AND KEEP ON DREAMING, A BRIGHTER FUTURE IS WAITING FOR US. GOD BLESS YOU ALL HUGS****CELINES

Great job meltin I also down 83 and I am loving life now. The energy is great and I can finally keep up with my kids. This is awesome !! I am glad you are doing well - keep up the great job. Dawn

AwesomeI'm glad you can do activities with your children and that you are feeling so much better. There is this guy in my local support group that said once tha he can finally play basketball with his teenage boys, he made me cry because being obese keep you from doing so many things. I don't have children but I do have two nieces who are always around and now I can feel confident enough to go out and run and play with them. A big hug for all of us....WOOOOOOHOOOOO
