I feel like my name should be Alice because I finally made it to Onederland. My surgery was on May 10th and I have lost 55 lbs. I feel great even though my dr. said that I had to increase my iron intake. While I had hoped I would have lost more than 55 lbs., I am really ecstatic about the weight loss. I feel so good, and that's what it's all about, right?!? Also, thanks to everybody for your continued support for me and others. Maryland really does have one of the best boards around. Thanks for sharing in my first goal! ~~ Trish

Thanks for sharing your goal with us! You are doing great. Hugs, Mo

Comparison is the thief of joy!

If we spend our time comparing our life/weight loss/body to others, we totally miss what WE have accomplished. Keep in mind how far you have come and what you can do now that you couldn't do weeks/months/years ago. I hate the expression " It's all good", but in this case it fits! Wherever you are in your journey ... It's ALL good!!!

I am so happy for you and this life altering "WOW" moment. I does feel good, doesn't it? Keep on working the tool and let us know about the many WOW moments to come. TraciL
