OMG! Who are those people? Are you sure they are you? I can't wait until I have my moment like that...right now I am at a weight I have been before so I still see the same old me...can't wait until I get to a new me. Thanks for the peek into the future!

My re-birthday is on Friday and I will be out of town so I am updating today. I have to say that April 29, 2004 was the first day of the best part of my life. I would never have guessed all the changes, excluding the weight, that could happen after surgery. I am so much more energetic and happy. I never would have thought that I would actually enjoy exercising. NEVER! Well I do. And I love not being winded when I go up and down the stairs or run around the yard with the kids. I didn't hit the -100 mark but I have "gained" so much more. I will keep working at it as I want to lose another 25-30 lbs. but I know I can do it! I can squeeze into some 14 pants from a size 26 a year ago. Who would have thunk! This has truly been a wild ride, sometimes hard, but worth it all! And I want to thank everyone here for their support and encouragement. It really means alot! Too many more years of health and happiness! Dawn 287/191/265

Wwwwooooooowwwwww! You are two new people! There is no way anyone who hasn't seen you since pre-op would ever recognize you. You can be incognito! You both look great! I don't even know what else to say it is so shocking! Dawn

Thanks, Sue! Beth 'How puzzling all these changes are,' said Alice. 'I'm never sure what I am going to be from one minute to another. However, I've got back to my right size: the next thing is to get into that beautiful garden.' HW- 313 SW- 298 CW- 143 GW- 130 http://meltingmama.blogspot.com/
