Today Is MY day........im so excited

Thank you all for all that you do for me! This journey has been so incredible because as i've lost my weight i've gained so many friends. On the whole I have to tell you that this has been a great journey, I really couldn't ask for more (unless i was at goal in which case you'd be hearing the squeal from where you are!). The friendships have meant the most, the ongoing support has been super and will continue. I'm going away this weekend to an indoor water park and oh the fun we'll have. ANDI

Happy one year!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! mine was this week and I was so happy when I reached 4 lbs until I'm "normal BMI" about 18 until my goal, but still so very happy for all of us. Grateful for small things like going to a water park, or shoping in a regular store and being helped...LOL I hope you have a great day!!!!!!!!!!

thank y ou so much for your beautiful well wishes. Have i mentioned that my scale broke last week and it won't fix even when i change the batteries (that's my limited knowledge of when t hings don't work....change the batteries) so i have no idea how i'm diong but i'll assume i'm fine as my clothes still fit! Hugs, ANDI

Good grief Andi & Jean - you are both early birds today I'm late logging on as I'm not at work, but was still hoping to be on before you all to say it's Andi's day! ha ha Glad you are having a good day. You didn't mention about your scales - are you going to replace them or go by your clothes (which although i don't think I could do, also think it is MUCH more healthy to go by that). Anyway, I digress - WOOHOO it's Andi's turn. WOW what a difference a day makes (your WLS day). It truley has changed your life. Andi, you are a fantastic friend, and I want you to know how much I appreciate ALL you have given both here and on our emails. Have a great day and weekend. Us snailoritas will get to be normal (well bmi at least anyway hee hee) soon

ok so i put in another package of batteries because the scale was always saying LO so i assumed either i had lost all the weight i needed to and then some and it was telling me to eat cracker jack (secretly in code, you know how sneaky scales are) or the new batteries just weren't fresh! If the scale is correct, which i'm not sure about i've lost 3. something pounds. It seems like i only lose the week after my period then bounce around the whole rest of the month. Don't get me wrong, i'll take it, but it's odd how that works. I'm about 15 pounds from my surgeons goal, not a bad gig so i'll take it and i'm about 28-30 away from my own goal which could very well be unattainable, we'll see what life brings us in the future. ANDI

sleep! what is sleep...LOL

HAPPY ONE YEAR SURGERY ANIVERSARY!! You are one great person and you are doing so great on your weight loss!! Sure wish I could say the same!! Have a great day!!!

What is stopping you from saying the same karen? What will it take for you to join me tomorrow in a week of healthy eating, i'm not saying a lifetime i'm talking about one week only? What changes would you have to make? I think the beauty of our "tool" is that we can rework it when necessary. I ate like i had a snout and a curly tail this weekend, but today i'm planning on curbing my carb intake (such a weakness for me) and eating meals only no grazing! Hugs, ANDI

Woo hoo Andi!!! You go girl ... celebrate, celebrate, celebrate! Buy yourself something totally frivilous!!! Congratulations to you, my friend! Deanna
