Topic: Re-Birthday!
Today is my re-birth day. What a year. I know from reading the posts in this forum that this has not been a breeze for anyone. We all have had our struggles and obstacles to overcome on this journey, but I wouldn't change a minute of it. Coming to grips with my bad habits returning and dealing with plateaus have been my main issues to deal with. I know that I am so close that I am determined to reach my goal and not let these things interfere with my success. I still have 28 pounds to get to goal, but it seems attainable to me now, not just a dream.
Topic: 1/2 the person I used to be!!!!!!!

Happy Birthday girl. I need to get more exercise in...I've gotten into the trampolene and jumped away the pounds. I've got my bike out and have the greatest time on it. I am walking more, but I really don't do the workouts like I should. I am down about 145 lbs. I am wearing size 8-10, sometimes 12s with some styles. I've actually gotten into a size 13-14 juniors..my daughter in laws pants...WOW!

Happy Birthday to you...happy birthday to you! It is so wonderful, this new life. Friday is my surgiversary. I wish I could say I was 1/2 the size I was but I am down 145 lbs so I'm not complaining. I'm down from 312 (recorded highest weight, not highest weight) to 170ish.
Sorry about the marriage, but some things really aren't what we think they are. I'm fortunate that my hubby has been SSSSSSSSSSSOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO supportive.
Love always, Cyndi

Topic: RE: 1st June
It's awesome. June 1st was my actual surgery date. One year later, I am planning my panni for early August. I wonder how long I can plan surgeries for the summer months--it's my new vacation plan. 
Congrats to everyone, we've sure come a long way.

Lori Topic: One year ago today.....
Just wanted to stop in and give a little update. Today is my re-birthday. At this time last year I was being wheeled into the holding area to get my IV started. I cannot even begin to list all the changes that occured over the last year as I am sure most of you have had many changes as well. The biggest and most important two changes I would have to say would be the weight and divorce. I am exactly half the woman I used to be, the morning of surgery I was 288 and this morning I was 144. I am in a size 8, I cant ever remember buying single digit clothing and here I am at 30 healthier and happier than I was at 20.
Unfortunately my marriage couldnt withstand all the changes. My husband became very jealous and controlling and repeatedly tried sabatoging my success. Well I guess over the alst year I learned to love myself more than loving soemone else. SO i guess I lost more baggage than I thought I had.
I hope everyone else is enjoying their new lives as much as I am. I wish everyone a happy rebirthday and good luck in continuing on this amazing journey!!!

Just to be in such a quiet and peaceful area away from all the noise and the crime!
It will be a bit hectic yet for a few weeks until we settle in,I will try to stop by when I can!
Much love to you all and congratulations on a great year and only better to come!!!
