Good News!

Hello my Texas Friends!!! I don't post much, but have some good news to share! I just returned from 10 days in London with my ex-sister-in-law and got on the scale this morning to see what damage I might have done, with wine-drinking and carb-consuming. I actually lost 4.5# (guess all the walking must have helped) and am now a CENTURY CLUB member with a loss of 101.5# since my surgery on 2/20/04. I will take a new picture soon and get it to the OH volunteers to be posted. One of the biggest comments I get is that I don't even look like myself anymore. Just before my trip I went to a church festival and saw loads of people that I have known for the last 15 years and had several tell me that they wouldn't have recognized me if I hadn't been with someone that they know I socialize with a lot. I am now 22-27 pounds away from my goal weight (I won't make that decision until I get closer.) I NEVER thought I'd be this close. In actuality, I could probably be happy if I didn't lose any more. I am wearing size 12 clothes and the smallest I have EVER been as an adult was in a 10. I have stamina, flexibility, and am more comforable with myself than I have been in years and years and years and.... Guess I don't need to tell y'all! You're the guys who have been where I have and you're the ones that understand!!! Good luck to everyone!!! I may not be talking, but I am watching and reading!!! Charlotte

Charlotte, Congratulations!!!! Isn't it amazing that we can go on vacation and either maintain or lose weight!!!! Oh the years we would just gain. The trend has now been reversed. Definitely can have a great time, eat well, and lose. Mary

That is good news!! Congrats on the century club, and here's to your continued success! Linn
