I was just thinking about the 74 pounds that are gone.  If I didn't lose another pound it would have been so worth it.  I feel so much better.  I am told that I look and sound better.  I don't take 12 medications any more and I can move anyway anyhow that I want to.   The last 5 months have been magical.  I have made so many great friends through OH.  WOW what a fantastic year this has been.    Thanks everyone for being part of the magic!

Paula -

Congratulations on every success! Congratulations on every one of those 74 pounds, but also feeling so much better, being active, and not being on a dozen medications.

Congratulations on enjoying the journey and making it with new friends.

I feel honored to have you on this journey.
