Hello to my extended family! Today I was thinking about when we all came here to the June board, yes we lost a ton of original posters that I wish would come back and let us know how they are! but we have also gained a lot of new people and continue to do so,which is totally awesome! I remember before our Journeys began how we all were,so discusted with ourselves and how much we could not wait for our Big day to arrive,it is now around the 4- 5 month mark (depending on date) since our surgery and I am totally blown away at the progress we have all made! Not only physically but mentally! even though this journey is everything but easy,I can see such a huge differnce in us all,and everyone is working so hard to acheive their goals! We are all working on our healthy bodies making the correct food decisions, excercise,taking our supplements.We are what we all dreamed of being! who would have ever thought we would be this far and this happy at 4-5 months out? I can't wait to see us on our anniversary dates! With everything being said,I want to say congratulations to each and every one of you for your accomplishments so far, I am so proud of all of you,you all look fabulous! and I am so happy to see everyone being happy. and I do want to thank all of you for your continued support in helping me though my journey as well. Much love to all of you! Nancy 296-150-185
