an awesome experience!

Hi all, Just wanted to share how this past weekend I went snow tubbing and skiing for the first time in my life and it was AWESOME!!!!! The first time down the bunny slope on skiis, I wept like a baby, because I truly realized how my obesity has held me back for sooo many years. Well, I'm down approximately 88lbs and feeling like there's nothing I cannot do! Maryellen PS I really need to update these pics soon

Isn't it great!?!?! I know exactly what you mean. I think the only drawback I have found so far is that I just get my clothes 'broken in' and then they get too baggy to wear. Congratulations Maryellen. I am doing the happydance for you (and exercising for me). ~Diana~

Thanks Diana, Maryellen

That is WONDERFUL!! I am so happy for you!! I feel the same way!! LIFE IS GOOD!!!!!! Hugs, Heather

Thanks Heather, You know what they say...better late than never! Life at 42 (in a few weeks) is better than I ever remember! Maryellen

Hi Maryellen, Me too!!! I went tubing for the first time with my two sons and hubby - it was great! My bottom actually fit in the tube not on it!! And I could find clothes that fit well that kept me warm in all the snow. It is a great feeling trying something new and active and not having to worry about all that weight related stuff - it's freeing. I'm glad you had a great day! And the best things in life can start at 42 -43 huh?!?!? Take care and wishes to you for many more new adventures!!! Sue

Thanks Sue and congrats to you as well! Maryellen

How exciting Maryellen! It truly is amazing where this journey has taken us isn't it? Everyday that I wake up I'm just in total amazement with just, well, everything! Congrats to you on your progress thus far...you are doing wonderfully! ~~~T C.~~~

How exciting Maryellen!!! I used to love to do that as a kid ... haven't been in what feels like 100 years! Jan
