Aloha neighbor......I don't come into the Hawaii forum very often, but decided to pop in today, and got such a big happy chuckle out of your post. It brought back such wonderful memories of being exactly where you are....how thrilled I was to be only OBESE!

In my case, I started out (almost 3 years ago now) at 319 where I was very clumsy, slow and easily tired. Now, at half of that weight, I am free in my body....can fit into any chair, can fly on plane with room in my seat to spare, can run up stairs, etc. etc. It is a miracle.

Enjoy every minute of this journey...and thanks for making my Maui morning!!

Aloha nui loa,

Karen

Aloha Karen!
Isn't it funny the things that make us happy along this journey?  I remember being super morbidly obese just a few months ago and hated those words!

You're such an inspiration to me!  You were near exactly where I started my journey.  Knowing that you could do it and keep the weight off gives me such great hope for a weight free struggle life!!!!

Congrats on your huge success!!!
