Julie, what a great way to start your New Year. In a few months, we'll be talking about how much better physically and mentally you feel, and how it was hard in the beginning but you're so glad you did this!..You are not alone, welcome to your extended "family"! There are thousands of us who care what happens to you..I pray you have a very quick recovery in the hospital. I cant wait to get on the website near the end of the week and read that you are home, you are okay, and on your way to better health!!! Donna

WTG!

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year All. I hope you all have a blessed 2005. Never forget where we were at 12:16 am 2004 and how far we've come. Yet with all of out successes we have to be happy about, the journey has really just begun. I can never begin to express how much I have appreciated reading all of your words of wisdom and encouragment. I hope this site stays busy forever. I don't say much but read almost every day, You have never failed to inspire me. Thank you all, and again I hope you have a wonderful, prosperous, safe and healthy 2005.

I have lost about 103. My doctor thinks this is not enough and yelled at me on my last visit. I would like to loose about 35 more and work out about 3 nights a week. She thinks I will not lose enough. I will not go back to her because she made me feel so awful. I have gone from a size 26 to a size 16. I think this is great and am so happy with myself. My family is proud also. I feel I am just a slow looser, but my dr. has made me feel like real looser. Reading this board I feel I am just about average. Thanks for your support.
