I DID IT!

I've now officially joined the century club! As of yesterday, 5 months and 10 days after surgery, I've lost 104 lbs! WOOOO HOOOOO! I don't think I could be any happier! I feel great and everyone keeps telling me that I look better every day. I never thought this would happen until this surgery and now it is happening to me EVERY DAY! Can life be any better?

That's fantastic! Reaching 100lbs lost is quite an accomplishment. But to answer your question, YES! Life DOES get better. The more you lose, the more normal you feel. So onward toward the future! Pamela 352/241/150

Yahoo, Marion!!! Way to go, girl!!! What an accomplishment! You got there ahead of me, but I'm right behind you ... 96 lbs today ... just 4 more and Century Club here I come! BTW ... remember that down-in-the-dumps-I've-ruined-my-life goose that you comforted in the hospital? Gone! Disappeared! Left the building! And many many undying thanks go to you for your help that day. I didn't know it then, but it helped me turn a corner ... and I haven't looked back since. So again, THANKS THANKS THANKS!!! All good wishes to you, friend ... Myra 442/430/346/150 hw/sw/cw/gw

I'm soooo glad I was able to help you. I think you just needed to know that the road was now going to go in the right direction and if I helped to point that out and share some of my positive feelings with you, that makes me VERY happy. You're doing great on your weight loss too! Keep it up and call me anytime you feel like talking and sharing some of your positive thoughts! I hope you can get up to St. Louis sometime soon. If you do, let me know and we can get together! Miss you!

Proud of ya Myrna.....Bobby

Holy Cow, Bobby! Now you know ALL my secrets! (aside to the Group: This is a former co-worker whose wife had WLS surgery a few weeks ago) I hope Peggy's doing great ... keep Kim informed on how she's doing, ok? Hi Peggy! And THANK YOU, friend, for the nice message ... I appreciate it more than you know. Hang in! Myra

MARION, I AM SO VERY PROUD OF YOU. I STILL REMEMBER JUST HOW MUCH YOU HELPED MY SISTER DAWN D. DURING HER STAY IN THE HOSPITAL. SOUNDS LIKE YOU BOTH ARE DOING WELL..............OH BY THE WAY..LOL , LOOKS LIKE JUST MAYBE WITH ALOT OF PRAYERS IM ALSO ON MY WAY TO SURGERY AFTER 1 YEAR OF TRYING. THANKS FOR TELLING ME MARION TO NEVER GIVE UP! MARLA
