I am THANKFUL for my OH FAMILY

With Thanksgiving tomorrow I thought it only appropriate for me to say how very THANKFUL I AM to have my OH FAMILY!!!!! I have met some of the most AMAZING people I have ever known in my life right here on this Maryland Board. These are people I will call my friends for LIFE!! You all have touched my life in so many ways and I am sooo BLESSED to have you be a part of my JOURNEY!!! Last Thanksgiving I was SCARED TO DEATH of my pending surgery in December and many of you gave me the BOOST I needed to get through it. And now almost a year later and 150 pounds GONE FOR LIFE.............I feel AMAZING and BLESSED that I didnt let my fears get the best of me. This surgery saved my life and for that I am thankful to my AMAZING surgeon Dr Mark Kligman. I see him in 2 weeks and he is so getting a big KISS from me! He saved my life. ;o) But so did so many of YOU on this board. And that is why I will always be a force on this board for others to come to..............because I will always give back what so many of you have GIVEN TO ME!!! I LOVE YOU ALL!! 
IM SO BLESSED TO HAVE MY O.H FAMILY!!!!!

And we are THANKFUL for YOU!!!!!

(((Hugs))))

i am very happy to have found so many friends and am lucky to keep meeting new people. I've learned alot about myself through the process of losing weight and bringing new people into my life. 9 years ago I had no life, no friends and no energy. I have come so far and continue to move forward, even though sometimes I fall on my face. But you guys are there to help me dust myself off and keep trying.

love everyone!

Nic you have done so so much and you have come so far YOU SHOULD BE PROUD OF YOU!!

I know you will continue to do GREAT!!! Love you girl. Happy Thanksgiving!!!!!

Thank YOU Jilly for keeping me going with your encouragement and for making me feel so included here on OH! I'm still pre-op, so ocming on here means a lot to me as I am able to gather strength and encouragement to push throught towards my goal.

Thank you so much - this was a really sweet message!

Happy Thanksgiving sweetie. (((Hugs)))

Jilly Thanks so much for supporting me. Between my stress with my Mom and nerves my plans have been side tracked so many times. I hope the year 2010 will be my year. I am scared as heck and at the same time worried about my health. I have learned so much here and at the meetings I have attended. I have had ups and downs on the board but I continue to think positive and try to encourage and support all people here that I can.  I am thankful that I have meet and had some nice people to help me try to sort out things and who always listen. Thanks so much I am thankful for you all.

Have a great holiday.
