Hello everyone!

I just wanted to take a minute to say THANKS to all of you for being here and sharing AWESOME information, it is a huge part of my success.

I had 2 milestones today that I would like to share with you and maybe brag a little!

1.  I woke up to a wonderful scale day - I hit my 100 pound loss, what a great feeling!!    Since February 15th, I lost 80 lbs before surgery, and in the last 26 days since surgery, lost 20 more.

2.  Today was the ASMBS "Walk From Obesity" in St. Louis and we had a great time.  3.7 mile walk, which is not a major distance, but the most I have walked in as long as I can remember!  I am proud to say I was in the top fundraisers and we raised almost $10,000 for obesity support and research.  Our "Heart of America Bariatrics" team recruited 50 walkers!!! 

Thanks for allowing me a minute to toot my horn a bit , and I hope you all have a happy healthy weekend!!!!!!

John

John,

A great big congrats!!! on the 100 lb weight loss! That's fantastic!

You speaking of walking sure brought back memories of then I first walked around my "country mile" block...really 4 miles.  I felt such a sense of accomplishment... now it's all in a days work... ~tee hee

You just go right on ahead and "BLOW" that horn.. this is not an easy thing we have all undertaken and we all need all the positive encouragement we can get however we get it!  You are right this board is just full good folks!

Keep right on up with the good work and you will soon be posting more an more successes!
