One year excitement!

Hello everyone! I wanted to post this before my "month" anniversary expires tomorrow. My surgery was on 11/16/04. I had lap-rny. All went beautifully! My highest weight was 410, day of surgery was 380, current weight is 237, goal weight is 149 (below 150) pounds. I am amazed with the results this last year has brought. I have lost 173 pounds so far! WA-HOO! I have lost over 120 inches total over my entire body. WOW!!! I have had my moments of depression and discouragement, but the support I give myself and receive from those around me keep me both boosted and grounded at the same time. Thank you for your support and advice and encouragement. I love logging in for fellowship and support. Needed to share today! My almost nine year old son keeps track of how much weight I lose based on how much he weighs. I have lost two "Charlie's" and am working on a third.
