One Year Ago Today!

First off Happy ReBirthday to Molly and Melissa today and if I am missing anyone else my apologies! I cannot believe it has been a year! Thank you to each of you for being so supportive of me and my journey on this board. I love this board and though I have been quite busy I do try to come around as often as I can. Thanks for keeping it real ladies and gentleman.. the december board rocks!!! Here is a copy and paste of my post from the RNY/Main board. For some reason the pictures get lost if I try to do it any other way when I am posting on the dec board. http://www.obesityhelp.com/forums/amos/board_id,4856/cat_id,4456/topic_id,3466255/a,messag eboard/action,post/post_id,27062591/?pkid=3466255&refPg=%2Fforums%2Famos%2Fa%2Cmessageboar d%2Faction%2Creplies%2Fboard_id%2C4852Fcat_id%2C4456%2Ftopic_id%2C3466255%2F&key=9b8672058 69def572637bab799d6bd7e

Melissa I am so proud of you I will be a year next week and I had HOPED to have lost 120 and I am not going to make it. You are such a insperation to me. I am so happy for you and I know I can make it to my goal someday too. I love your hair color. It is a BIG WOW!!!!!! Hugs Diana

You are doing so well Diana, I am so proud of you.. you will make all your goals.. remember it isn't a race to the finish line.. its just getting there period and I know you will, I have no doubts! Thanks, I am loving my hair also!!

Besides being an incredible, sweet, giving person you are such a hottie too!!! CONGRATULATIONS (!!!) on your one year rebirthday. You have been there for so many people, me included, here on OH and have given so unselfishly of yourself. Thank you for all your love and support, you will probably never know how many people you have helped. Your new photos are so cute and I love your hair! You go, girl! Molly

Aw Molly.. you are too kind. You truly are my personal inspiration and I just have loved watching your progress.. I wanna thank you for helping with getting this december board going.. I remember a few months ago recruiting people off the main board and the RNY board hoping it would take off as it was real slow go.. look at it now.. amazing.. You also give so much of yourself.. thats what friends do and I am glad we can do that for eachother on this board. I feel a real sense of friendship with you and the others on the december board, its too bad we can't have a real life party to celebrate all of our success! Thanks for the compliments on my hair.. I went today and told her "give me funky" and that is what I got.. it really isn't a striped as it looks in this photo, it turned out JUST how I wanted it too.. so happy. I found this girl in my little town, I have been struggling finding a stylist up till now so I am just HAPPY! Today was a great day in so many ways! *hugs* and Happpppppy Anniversary!!!!!!!

HAPPY SURGERIVERSARY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You have done so amazingly well this past year. I wish you many more years of health and happiness!! ~ Terisa

Thanks so much Terisa.. you have been so motivating for me on this board and I want to thank you for that.. I really appreciate your friendship and positive support you provide.. you really have no idea how much it means to all of us. Thanks so much! Love ya!

Congratulations!!!!!!!! Thank you for being always there for all the Dec Babies, you are an inspiration and leader for us. Beatriz

Aw thanks Beatriz.. funny to be called a "leader".. I think this board is so awesomely supportive of each other and I just love having this "safe" place to come where I can share with you how I feel and not feel as if I am going to be judged.. I just feel love and a sense of belonging.. that you cannot put a price on. Thank you for being such a strong part of this board Beatriz, you are beautiful inside and out. *hugs*
