You Guys Are The Best!!!!

Thanks so much for your support and encouragement for me to do the commercial. I am going to do it! My only problem is, that they called me and said I need to plan on 5 to 6 hours for the shoot. I only have 3.5 hours because I have an mandatory budget and finance class that afternoon, so I hope it still works out. They said they would try to finish up with me in time. It will be shot on Thursday. It is just so flipping weird to me to do this when I still have so much to lose...oh well, I just have to keep remembering, as a 45 year old breast cancer survivor, former SMO, that has had tons of health problems in the past can now walk 5 miles a day, plus go to the gym! I'm no swimsuit model, but, a whole lot healthier.... Anyway, I wish I could literally hug each of you! But, cyber hugs will have to do! Love, Lori 384/242/168

Lro you are a true inspiration. My surgeon told us the story of his most successful WLS patient ever. She weighs 250 lbs after surgery. She started at 500 and now is amazingly fit any healthy. You are doing so well and I could only hope to be as active as you are. Congrats on the commercial and keep up the great work!!! Hugs, Stef

Stefanie, Thanks so much for posting this. I guess because I'm still pretty far away from being under 200 lbs (I'm 242) it is hard to think of myself as fit...but, dangit, I just got back from a 90 minute walk which was just over 5 miles...I couldn't have dreamed of doing this before! Thanks so much for your encouragement! Lori 384/242/168(or at least 199)

All I know is that you are a great inspiration to each and every one of us and it'll be nice to see you be able to inspire a larger audience. Kathy

Thanks Kathy!!!!
