Today is 1 yr. since sugery! Yeah!!!!

Thank you to all that have been such a help to me personally this past year. I may not have always posted but I never missed a day with out my friends. You all have kept me going and blessed me so much. This last year has been full of changes in my emotions, weight, family and friends. I still can not believe I am 127 lbs. and someone told me I was so tiny, I had to look behind me to see if they were talking about some else. Yep, they were talking about me. I've had many WoW moments this past yr. I plan on having many more. My BMI is 22. So everyone is happy and I can stop losing weight. I am feeling little scaried about maintaining - that was my past problem..I know I can do this - I have the best tools in the world to get me through this, to be normal and enjoy life as so many of my friends do. I have to thank God for helping me the most - because He is always there - sometimes you just need to talk to someone and it may be 2:00 a.m. I have the pleasure of helping my husband through his journey of weight loss. Jan 24th, 06 he had his surgery. He is doing very well - he has lost 34 lbs. so far. Take care and congrads to all that have made it to goal and to those who are getting there.

Deb, you've done marvelous, congratulations on a fantastic year. It definitely has been a wild one full of emotions. I wish you the best on continued success, I to fear the thoughts of gaining weight, but you are right we do have the tool, it's keeping our head on straight from here on out. Congratulations to your husband, I hope he continues to feel well and achieves the success you have this year. Best wishes, Dana

Thank you Joe...it has been such an exciting year. I look forward to maintaning my weight. That will be a first. As I went to your site - I read that you went to Bowling Green Unv. I have a son that is attending his first year there. He will be an art teacher when he is done with school, he really loves the area and is considereing going to school there year round...we like to visit the campus and our son. Take care and good luck - you can keep the weight off, you are doing all the right things. Take care. Deb K
