Thanks to all for all their supporting words over the last year....AND for all that come in the future!!! Love and Hugs, Holly

Congrats! You have done fantastic.

Holly, congratulations! No recriminations, no "what ifs" (I also did not get to my goal on my surgiversary) this is your day to celebrate taking charge of your life and chooosing to be healthy. And not only that, to celebrate it in a way that doesn't depend on food (not saying we can't celebrate by having something special, though, we should take pride on the celebration not revolving around food as it has done for so many of us in our past.) The heck with "Dr. C"; you should be d*&! proud of where you are and how hard you worked to get here! Cyndi
