Today I turned 50!!

Brenda, Happy Birthday!! I just turned 50 on 9/24 while I was in the hospital with my first (and hopefully, last) gall bladder attack. I TOTALLY understand your feelings but keep in mind you're already on the losing side (I'm pre-op & waiting on insurance approval). You're probably healthier & more active than you've been thoughout your life so take advanage of it - get out and meet some folks. Try some activites you've always wanted to do but felt too embarrassed by your weight to try. Don't let regrets of the past ruin the future!! As my mother said, "The forties are patch, patch, patch, but the 50's are fabulous!" I'm sure going to try to prove she's right!! Vickie J.

Happy 50th Birthday Brenda! Congratulations in your weightloss, that is an achievement you should be proud of.

Brenda, I will celebrate #55 in February -- age is what you make it! I have never felt better! Happy Birthday to You! Great weight loss! LuvitsunnyV@goal
