40 and Fabulous!!!

Hey all! Just tooting my own horn again. Yesterday was my 40th birthday. One of the main reasons I pushed to have my surgery when I did was because I didn't want to go into my 40's sick and out of shape. Check that goal off the list. I'm 40, 139lbs, no co-morbids, a runner and a fitness trainer. My life sooooo far exceeds expectations. I have a great husband, wonderful kids and a ton of family and friends who give me so much love. I had a blow out party last night...several of the 50 people that attended were people that I met through obesity help. I have been so blessed to find this site. Here's a link to one of my 40th bday pics. I'll be posting more later. http://pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/tirzahquigley/detail?.dir=/d73f&.dnm=c6aa.jpg&.src=ph

Happy Birthday Rachel! I too wanted a big change going into 40 - I turned 40 in October and have not felt this good in YEARS! Toni Bowen Open DS - 20 April 2004 285/140/125

Hey youngster! Happy belated birthday. Isn't it great to feel in control of our health and our lives! Thanks for the kind words. Rachel

Happy birthday Rachel. You are so fantastic - what success and what a radiant woman and a happy life. Of course, you were absolutely beautiful before your surgery but the increase in health and activity is such a bonus. Glad you had a great day. Hugs, Ruth
