I just wanted to THANK YOU ALL!!!!!
I just wanted to stop in and thank each and every one of you. I am 18 months out and have lost a whoppin 164 pounds. I ONLY have 13 pounds to I have reached my goal! If it were not for all of you in the last 18 months, I do not know where I would have been. You all give good advice and I have read it and takin it as it has applied to me.
I love to hear about everyone's trials and tribulations. It makes me so much stronger in my journey. I do not post much because I feel that what I have to say is not always worthy or that good of advice. But I sure to read a lot of the posts.
Thank you again, and I plan to continue to keep all of you on my daily plan of information that I need.

The beauty of a woman is not seen through what she wears. It is seen through how she carries herself and the way she doesn’t allow herself to settle. Don’t ever let anyone take for granted the beauty that is within you. Stand firm and know that you’re a wonderful person. Always remember your value and respect yourself. I’m so blessed to have you in my life. Sometimes we all need to be reminded how special we really are!

Alta, its good to hear from you, too, my other Chicago roomie, along with Leigh Ann. So happy to hear about your incredible weight loss and being off all your diabetic meds has to be really awesome to you.
God is an awesome God and I hope he brings us all back together again soon.

Leigh Ann!! You are a rockstar. You did all the work, but it is definately great to have somewhere to turn when things seem to be too much! I'm sure you'll get those last 13 pounds off.

Leigh Ann, Congrats on being 13# from your goal. You have done so fantastic. And don't sell yourself so short on what you have to offer others about weight loss. You are well on your way to being a certified OH support group leader, aren't you? Even if you changed your mind on that venture, you still have much to offer all of us.
