How would you celebrate?

Hi all, I'm celebrating my 6 month anniversary tomorrow (Wednesday 9/28). I've lost 110 lbs and thanking God every minute for this very surreal experience. I want to make tomorrow special for myself, but I just haven't decided what to do. I have very little money. Going out to eat is an option, but would love to do something non-food related. I've gone walking with my dogs for a mile the past two nights and finally don't hurt when I'm done. I'm alone and would love to celebrate with someone! So, you're all invited to help me celebrate! Hugggs and blessings, Heidi

YEAH HEIDI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Get a manicure...or even better a pedicure!!!!!!!! Wish I lived close cause I would celebrate with you!!!!! HUGS, Michelle www.active.com/donate/tntwpawv/michelleuschock

I have very little money as well, I have only lost 90lbs (19 to goal!) but I also have been trying to think of ways to celebrate. First of all...I will have my picture taken so I can put it next to my "night before WLS" pic to remind me of how far I have come. I really love to garden and do things around the house and since it is fall I was thinking about spending a little bit on a tree or plant to put in so come spring when it blooms it will remind me of how I have bloomed. I packed up all my 20W, 18W, 16W, 16, 14 and size 12 clothes and donated them to Katrina victims-this left me without too many clothing choices but I still have a place to live, so I figure they need them more. I wrote a list of things I can do now and things I want to do before my surgery...some of them I have already accomplished. One of the things I wanted to learn was roller blading-so this weekend I will borrow my son's blades and practice in the driveway. (If nothing else it will amuse the neighboors.) I don't know really. I am trying to think of something good, going out to eat just really doesn't sound like a celebration anymore to me. Good luck! Becky

I say manicure or pedicure also.Where I go to school at we do other people and it's very good price's I think a manicure is 5 $ and a ped is 10 $ or some thing like that.That would be the place to go if you have a Cosmetology School.Best of luck to you.. Shelly -130

Hello Surgery Date Sister! You are doing so great! CONGRATULATIONS!! Wish I lived closer because I would have LOVED to celebrate with you! This is late now, but what did you end up doing to celebrate? xoxoxo Kathy

Thanks for all your suggestions and encouragement everybody. I ended up posting on our local WLS yahoo group "let's do lunch" and got 6 people to go to lunch with me and then someone else went to dinner with me. It was fun being with people even though it was around food. Hugggs and blessings, Heidi
