Its the best thing you can do for yourself!!!!! Take care everyone!!! sheree 285/210/145

Happy New Years to you and everyone as well! I wholeheartedly agree with having the surgery. Since the 1st was my anniversary date here are my stats: 95lbs and 64.25" gone! I've gone from a size 24/26 to a 12/14 and have less than 30 lbs to go!! I feel great, look great (I'm starting to get the comment of - "Oh no, you'll be skin & bones if you lose that much more." - of which I'm ignoring), and am still doing things I've never done before. I hope everyone is bringing in the 2006 year with the same joy I am. Oh... my surgery group is having their annual extravaganza in a couple of weeks and I think the theme can be latched on to by all of us: You are the star of your own journey. Dawn 258/162/135

Hi Dawn, Thanks for sharing that saying! I'm going to add it to my daily devotions because: "I am the star of my own journey!!" Thanks, Lori 293/233.5/135
