This time last year

Hello everyone, Well this time last year we were all getting ready for our surgeries in Jan. It is so hard to believe that on Sunday, Dec. 25, I will be 11 months out. I remember this time last year on Christmas Day thinking that I only had one more month to start my new life. It has been such a ride with good and bad days. I am so happy with where I am at right now with my weightloss, down 115.5 pounds. I know that the folks on the Jan. Board have done such an amazing job and I am so proud of all of you!! What a difference 11 months makes!!!!! Just wanted to share! Also I loved doing our family pics this year to send out to family!! Take care, Becky P. 271/155.5 (below dr.'s goal of 160)

Hi Becky!!! I agree with you that all the January Board have done such an awesome job and I too am so proud of everyone!!! I can't believe it too, that on December 10, I was 11 months post op. I have lost 110 pounds. My whole life has changed especially my health. I no longer have high blood pressure, high cholestrol, and I am no longer diabetic. I have enough energy to do all the many things that I've wanted to do for years but was unable to because of my obesity. I'm still about 20-25 pounds from my goal. My doctor's goal is 140 pounds, but because I'm only 5 feet tall, I really want to get down to 125 pounds. Don't get me wrong I'm completely happy with my results!!! Congratulations on your success Becky!!! Have a wonderful and blessed Holiday Season!!! Take care and God Bless you and yours. Aloha, Pat 261/150/125

Pat, THANKS!! You will get to your goal in no time!! It is wonderful to be able to do things now that was so hard for us this time last year. Keep up the good work!! Happy Holidays!! Becky P.

congrats to YOU, becky! you look wonderful! i, too, am amazed by what a change has occurred in me in just 11 months! i've still got a ways to go, but i'm so much happier now than i've been in many, many years. life is a delight these days. hope you and your family have a wonderful holiday season. deb -212

Deb, Thank you!! It is nice to be happier!! You have done such an amazing job with the 212 pound weightloss!! You should be so proud! Happy Holidays! Becky P.

SO true Becky. Man what a difference life is from last year this time to this year. Instead of just always getting PJs as presents I am looking forward to some fantastic things. When I moved to Ok this last summer from Germany, ppl here never knew the old me, and it is fun. Well take care and have a blessed Christmas! Kimberly

Kimberly, Thanks for posting! I am looking forward to any type of clothes this year. It is good to be someplace where people don't know the "big" us. We moved to a new house this past August, even though it is only about 30 min. from where we used to live, and people here don't know the old me and it is great!! Take care and Happy Holidays!!
