Checking in to wish you all a Happy New Year!!!

Hi May WLS buddies! I will be updating my profile soon and submitting some new pictures. I just wanted to wish everyone a happy, healthy, safe & successful New Year! Weight lost update: Started out = 285 lbs - As of last Saturday = 147lbs - I continue to loose each month - but this is also due to a lot of work on my part - I go to the gym everyday and have done so since Feb 05. I should get released from Dr. Bolar this month with a referral to the plastic surgeon I'm very excited and hope to have my insurance help me out with a TT and Breast lift! I do my measurements every 3 months at the gym and the results astound me - I still see the same old me in the mirror, but the compliments just pour in...even from people who don't know I used to weigh 285 - men seem to notice the new me and a few let me know how "hot" I'm looking Can give a girl a big head! The support I found here was a life preserver and I'm very thankful! May God bless your families and keep you safe as we enter 2006. Best wishes - and check out my profile in a week or so - hopefully my new pictures will be posted ;) Hugs, Michelle
