been away awhile

Just dropping in to say hello to everyone.  Sorry I haven't been about in so long :(  Unfortunately real life often roars.  This hasn't been a good year for me, lost my dad and brother 8 weeks apart to cancer, had 5 surgeries myself in 4 months and now my mom is critically ill.  I do wish to participate in the Christmas card exchange like I did before if you all will have me. 
Dec 1st will be my 3 yr anniversary and I am so glad I did this for me :) Still down 146 lbs from my highest weight. I wish you all the best and a wonderful holiday season. I will try and drop in when I am able.

Hugs and thanks to you all,
Cherryl

I did search and NOW I remember!!!  Of course we'll have you!!!

Like I said, you come here if/when you're able - we're not going anywhere.

Hugs, good thoughts and prayers,

Tia

Sorry this has not been a good year. I hope 2010 is better for you. My Mom is also very ill so I can relate. My sympathy goes out to you and your family with the loss of your Dad and Brother. That is a very huge loss in such a short time frame. I hope you are feeling better from your own surgeries. I hope you have a nice holiday season as well and I wish you peace.  Take care and know that we are all here for you.

Hi Cheryl,
My thoughts and prayers are with you, what a tragic year you have had. You must be a extremely strong gal to have weathered your storm.
What a wonderful WL journey you have had. It must have been so difficult to go through this past year, and not turn to food for comfort. Job well done! You certainly are a inspiration to me, and I will think of you often as I continue on   my journey                            
Take care and keep us posted, Leslie:)

hello Cheryl. 

I'm sorry to hear you had such a rough year.  

I'm glad to hear that even with the year from hell you had that you have maintained your loss.  that's very encouraging news for us newbies....
