Hello Wonderful People ~ It's been awhile......

Weekend Greetings To You All! I have been on such a busy schedule here lately that I simply have not been on the messageboards even to read and keep up on you all! I m doing great! I am a year out now and down 132/134 pounds...my scale keeps jumping! I look in the mirror and am so thrilled with the wonder these pounds have made. My knees are sooooo much better and I am really having a ball with the new wardrobe! Jon and I are planning our usual May trip to Vegas and I got some really awesome weasle wear! I am loving the size XL!! I have a whole new set of stores and catalogs opened up to me now that I am in a size 16/18/20 ~ XL. I bought 2 new swimsuits in a size 18 and they look stunning! I could have gotten in a 16 I think but am thrilled for the 18! I am actually just where I wanted to be sizewise and Doc says I will probably drop another 30 to 40 this next year so....I will take it where it leads me. Our office had an Employee Appreciation dinner in February...My best friend Kay, gave me the most Drop Dead Gorgeous dress she bought from Victoria Secret Catalog a couple of years ago and had never worn. It was MAGIC! I put this midnight blue velvet dress on and I felt like a Princess! It was just made for me and I spent the night receiving so many wonderful compliments! Some of the people come with their spouse once a year and had not seen me so it was such a rush for me. I changed me picture on here to one that was taken at the party. I want you all to know that even as I am not on here as often thesedays I keep you all in my thoughts and prayers. You have been a wonderful support family to me and I credit you with the success I have made with this surgery. I am so thrilled for Carmen and her upcoming plastic surgery this week. I am looking into having plastics later this year and am really excited to hear from anyone who has gone thru it already. I wish you all a fabulous weekend and remember spring is close... Hugs to you! Marianne 397/265/250~Healthy Goddess!
