Brandy, Congratulations on your weightloss. I'm sorry to hear about your Grandmother. My weight loss has slowed down as well, but I am still losing. I have 30 lbs to go and then I am going to see about plastics. I'm glad to hear you are doing well. Randi

You have done terrific Brandy. We are all very proud of you. I know you will lose the rest. Just remember though the scale numbers are not near as important as the fact that you are healthy now and that is the most thing. You have added a lot of years onto your life because of losing so much weight. I am very sorry about your loss of your grandma. Takes a while to get over the loss of a loved one. She is in a better place than we are. Keep up the good work and hope to see u at next meeting, I just had foot surgery Friday afternoon so not exactly out doing any jogging rite now but am able to get around with my walker or crutches. I should be healed up in a few weeks. Enjoy your weekend. Mike Mobile, Phoenix, AZ
