It's been 8 years

 Today is my 8 yr anniversary.  I'm at 180 from 368. My life is better and I'd do it again. My bp is up, my sleep apnea might be back, my teeth are awful and my thyroid levels are bad.  But I'm happy, can walk and move again and I love my life.   I have had a lot of bumps in the road but I'd do it all over!  I welcome all of u to read my profile and take from it what u can.  
To all u newbies all I wanna say is research and don't give up.   The new life is so worth it all!

 Just to let you all know, I still drink my protein and take my vitamins to be able to keep my levels normal

 Congratulations!!!  You look great.  I'm almost 4 years out.  The vitamins are important.  I drink my protein still when I make bad choices and don't get enough protein during the day.

 Thanks susan!  Protein and vitamins are important. Glad to see you're doing do good.  Keep up the good work!

Congratulations!

Thank You for posting for us.

When going through your list of positives. you forgot to mention that you look fantastic

 Tank you Judy!   I also forgot to mention the confidence to do anything and the self esteem to know just how great you do look.   
Thanks again Judy!   Nice seeing you. 

 Hey, nice to see you posting, glad to know you are doing well.  I remember being amazed that you were able to stay healthy working in a restaurant.  

I look in from time to time but seldom have much to say.  I hit six years with some bad habits to break.  Blood pressure still down, diabetes still resolved but I had to buy larger clothes.  This is stopping now!  A regain of 18% of the original loss still isn't too shabby.

Say hi to Stacy for me, I checked facebook but couldn't tell which one she was.  Ever hear from K.P.?

 I see kp post a lot on Facebook.  Find me on Facebook id love to keep up with ya.     It's either under Linda ton or jaderss.   Great talking to ya!
