It's my 1 year anniversary...

I didn't realize it was my one year anniversary until I signed on to the computer today and got a happy anniversary note from this website. What a great surprise! I had to weigh myself immediately. Last year I was 278 and MISERABLE. I ached, smoked, and felt horrible most of the time. Today, I'm smoke-free, sugar-free, 162 pounds and still losing. Thank God for a fabulous surgeon, and supportive family and friends. I received a "you're looking hot" comment from a co-worker today! God, was that encouraging. I haven't heard that since I was 16, which is way too many years ago! I am completely amazed that the loss of weight would do so much for my morale, and my energy level. Life is going well when the world weighs a lot less. Hope all you other September babies are as happy. HAPPY ANNIVERSARY and welcome to the new lighter world. Best Wishes, Christina
