Birthday

Hi all! Well, today is my birthday. I've made it to 55 years young. I say young because I feel the best I have in 25 years! I've lost 85 pounds since May. I still have about 50 to go to reach my final goal, but I'm almost at the weight I was when I got pregnant with my 25 year old son! It's really a happy, happy, day for me! I have a new life that I'm really enjoying. Food and eating has a new meaning for me - I eat to live instead of live to eat... I'm so blessed to have so many good friends, family, and my support folks like all of you. Thank you for making this a special birthday! Jean

Happy Birthday and many,many more!!!! Isn't losing the weight the best? Keep up the great work! Lisa

Hi Jean, I would like to wish you a very very happy Birthday And way to go on your weight loss of 85 lbs I have noticed that birthdays after surgery are much happier and enjoyed!!! So enjoy your special day. Take care, Dana

Hey Jean, I see my wife is working hard today, too! Anyway Happy Birthday.

Jean, Happy Birthday!!!!! I have to tell you. I turned 51 last November and went to the cardializist shortly afterwards. Mind you he is very short and weights about 110 lbs. His first comment to me was " Oh you just had a birthday. I'm surpised you lived that long. " He had sugested Gastric Bypass to me about a year before that and I was against it. Told him I could do it on my own and that's when he broke out my records and showed me my yoyo dieting that he said was killing me. I took his advise after that visit and my new journey began. I can't wait to go back this year to see him. At my last visit he said he a had a weight problem for he gained 10 lbs in a year. My comment was I wish I had your problem!!!! Anyway I know how you feel for I really feel my life has really just begun at 51. I always said before life begins at 50. I think we are proof of that. Life is really good !! Have a wonderful day!!! By the way my baby will be 25 next month too. See you lighter. Joanne

Happy belated Birthday, Jean.
