It always seems, at this time of year, I like to reflect back over the year. The good, the bad, what I would & wouldn't change. For the first time in MANY MANY YEARS I can honestly say that this has been one of the BEST years of my life. I have continued successfully with my WLS & have maintained sooooo much friendship & support from all of you. I have rekindled an old friendship that blossoms more & more each day. Most importantly my health & the health of my children is TOP NOTCH!!!! I'm so thankful for all the blessing that I have received this year. Both myself & my husbands place of employment is still going strong (which is a MAJOR blessing with the way the economy is), my wonderful girls are doing great in school academically, with sports & are all very healthy, happy, girls. We've purchased to new vehicles & are looking at a house to buy. I just can't express the appreciation I have for all of you. Without your support, I could never had made it through . I know that my time on here has been limited, but I'm trying really hard to make time for ME & will focus more on that in the New Year. Back to basics...eating right, exercising, water, vitamins...POSTING ON OH..etc etc etc..... HEARS TO A YEAR OF HEALTH, HAPPINESS & CONTINUES SUCCESS FOR ALL ((((HUGS)))) & Tammy

Just wanted to make sure your present didn't break in it's travels.... Let me know Happy Holidays Tammy

Hi Diana, I love getting all the cards as well. I've never had so many and they're covering my kitchen wall. I hope your surgery goes smoothly. Merry Christmas!! Dawn

I wanted to wish you all a Wonderful Holiday Season, Thank you for all the wonderful cards I have enjoyed them all and will cheerish them as I do not throw them away. I keep them and will read through them next year. I wish you all the very best in the coming year. For me I am really going to lose another 10 to 15 lbs. and really firm up my body. I will be having surgery again on 12/26 and this one will keep me from working out. I will resume exercising and back to the basics of eating since I have been eating junk this past week. I too want to get ready for Plastic Surgery but not until I get my body in tip top shape. Since I am sure I will have to pay for it all.... Diana 263/148/135 to 130 5'8"

Hi Adrienne, Welcome!! Hope you have a great holdiay season. I'm in the same boat as you, but I know that I am doing a bit of cheating these days. I think that if we both get back to the basics, we'll see that scale move again. I've lost 110 so far and my goal is 150. I have about 34 to go. So here is to keeping each other accountable at the start of the new year. Lori 293/183/150
