Congrats to you. Keep up the good work. I had someone say the same about me, but i still have a LONG way to go. I am 6 months post-op as of yesterday, and down 118lbs. i started out at 420lbs though, so i do have more to lose. Its great when people start to notice isnt it?

Anita and all... Thank you all for the kind words.... they mean so much ! I wish the best for all..... hey Tom have fun when you do the family pic, I do not take to many pictures..lol If it had not been for my older son's girlfriend back in Calif, I would not have a picture on here it is a nice feeling when people tell you you look nice and mean it. Well you all have a great week-end and yes Tom I read about your bath...lol hugs, Anna

Anna, Isn't those comments from people AWESOME? I know I have been gettng more and more of them lately too. It makes me feel so good inside. Its been years since I have had a postive comment. Infact I go to the mall and do the mall walk a couple times per week and just the other mornin I was walking with a group of people and this one person I have been walking with and have not seen for a couple weeks came up to me and said, "Wow your looking good, your moving so much faster now!" I said Yep wanta race... LOL! Oh it feels soo good. Oh and last week I was with my father and he said look at that you don't have that third chin no more, and he notice I buckled my seat belt in the pickup.. Its been years since I have done that.. I surprised myself even... LOL Oh Life is just getting that much Sweeter... Infact my folks have plans of being in there holiday pictures this year. Its been soo long since I have been offered to be in them... OMG! Well I have to run and catch my bus to the mall so I can get in my walking.. Its getting kinda cold her to do it now.. Darn winter.. LOL. Take care, Tom 536/384/250 -150lbs.

Holy Cow Anna! I just checked out your profile, you are doing an amazing job! Keep up the good work! Brenda

Just when you think teenage boys are self absorbed they say the sweetest things don't they? I have a 16 yr old son and yesterday he noticed i had new jeans and said " WOW mom those look like jeans the girls at school wear...they're pretty cool!" lol I reminded him I was 35....not 16 and he just laughed and said "they fit ya, go for it!" LOL Then one of my 11 yr old twins told me "Pleeeeease don't wear that sweatshirt where people can see you....it's HUGE on you mom and ya need to get a skinnier sweatshirt!" lol Funny thing was it was the sweatshirt I wore all last winter!
