HAPPY SURGAVERSARY TO ME!!!!!

Hi everyone, I have not been on the site much lately and haven't posted in forever but as Moe always calls me "lurker".  Seems when the weight comes off the life gets busier.  If hubby and I aren't running the roads buying stuff (new clothes for me) were tackling jobs here at home that I was to big and lazy to tackle before.  I had flowers in my yard and planted in flower boxes on  my deck for the first time in many years.  I am ONE YEAR out today and I'm down 158 lbs.  I'm alittle disapointed that I'm still have 3 lbs before I'm in the ones but really I should not complain.  I think I have done wonderfully.  I am no longer considered diabetic, my blood pressure is almost completely under control and I feel great.  I have gone from a size 30/32 to a 12/14.  Girls this is mind boggling to me.   I don't want to take up to much of you guys time I know your busy too, I just wanted to check in, let everyone know I'm healthy and happy and miss all of you.  I'm going to try to check in here more often.  Good Luck to all the Newbies and I hope everyone is doing great.   Hugs, MargieB

Margie That has to feel wonderful, that is great!  Just think about the wonderful job you have done.  You have to feel healthy at this point and feel good about what you have done! Congrats! Hug Kristen aka Newbie and loving it!

You are an inspiration to us all. Congratulations. Jo

Happy Surgiversary!!  What you have accomplished through WLS is remarkable.  Keep up the good work, and never apologize for living life to the fullest.  Something we have not been able to do in years, as we sat on the sidelines.  Good to see you! TraciL

Thank you and your right I shouldn't appologize for living it's just all so new.  I did sit on the side lines for years and years and thought I was having a good time.   Things have changed so much.  We miss seeing you.  How is the group you go to now.  Tell me about it.   MargieB

Haven't been able to get to one due to getting back from work so late in the day.  Thinking about starting one down south, but not quite sure yet.  Just playing with the idea.  Would still like to get to the one in Waldorf.  We'll see.  Take it easy! TraciL

Happy Day to you Margie!!! You are doing so well!!! It is amazing where we are a year later!!!

Happy surgiversary to one of my dear Losers. I am so happy for you and you look wonderful. I am so bleesed to have you as a friend and you are an insperation to us all. Keep up the good work and those 3 lbs will come off in no time Love ya Kelly

If I've said it once I have said it 1,000 times how blessed I am to have found you girls and our support group.  You have all inspired me to be all I can be, not to lose hope and to enjoy the new life that has been given me.  I do not know where I would be without all of you.  I am thankful everyday for so many things and the number one on my list is your friendship.  As of this morning I have only one more lb to lose so I'm on the road to another goal met.  It's because you guys are behind me that I've come this far. Hugs, MargieB
