It's a beautiful day... and... drum roll please...

Now THAT'S what I want to hear!  A six year anniversary and still under 200 lbs.!! Incredible!  Congratulations and I'm so happy for you.  Hopefully I will someday be able to say the same thing.

You'll get there!  I never thought I would either, but here I am.  I'm working on this extra 20lbs though. 

Sheryl

That is truly awesome - you are a statistic that we all like to hear...  because this is scary - can I do it and keep it off...  Thanks for sharing.
And congratulations on your engagement !

Hugs back to ya

Thank you!  I can truly say that this has been the best decision of my life!  I try very hard not to go back to my old habits, some have returned but I have to keep them at bay. 

Oh, thanks for the congrats on my engagement too!!!  I can't believe I'm getting married for the first time at my age (45, well I'll be 46 by then.. lol). 

Have a great night!

OMG Sheryl...what an inspiration your post is for me.  You are living proof that this surgery does work in the long run.  Thank you for sharing things that you can now do since your new beginning...Congratulations to you

Thanks Donna, I can't believe it myself sometimes.  If you (or anyone else) has ANY doubts, then just read some of these profiles.  There are a lot of them much much more inspirational than mine for sure.  I'll share all my experiences if you have any questions.  The best thing I think is to have a positive attitude and just know everything is going to work out. 

Sheryl

Congrats Sheryl,  I know you must be happy.  You have done a fantastic job...

Thanks Rahsheeda, you're doing a great job yourself!  Do that happy dance!!!!! 


Sheryl

Congratulations!!  It is so awesome to know that not only can we lose the weight but we can keep if off as well.  I know what you mean about doing things you've never been able to do before.  My four year old daughter's soccer season starts today and I'm her new coach.... me... the fat girl who could barely walk up a flight of stairs 7 months ago... it is so amazing.  The best part is how excited my little one is that I'm her coach.  Without this surgery I might how lived to see her grow up but I would never have been able to really fully participate in her life/activies.  Like you, I LOVE my RNY!!!

Take Care,
Christy

Christy,

Too cool that you're able to be your Daughter's soccor coach!  Enjoy your time with her as a young'n, it goes very fast!!!  Have a great weekend!
