While reading the supportive replies to my post last night, I remembered (for the umpteenth time) how wonderful the people on this board are.  You all are so supportive, in good times and not so good times. 

So please accept this post as a thank you to each of you, not only from myself but from all the rest of us on the board, too.  YOU make this place so safe and uplifting; YOU are directly responsible for someone working their plan one more day, doing one more step, leg lift, crunch; YOU are the one who makes that next person find the right weight loss plan which saves their life.  YOU, yes YOU!  Go look in the mirror right now (unless you're driving in which case you shouldn't be reading this!   )   But really, go look in the mirror and say "I made a difference in someone's life"   and then give yourself a big hug.  And accept my profound thanks for your willingness to be in my life.
God bless,
Robin

Thank You Robin! I am a firm believer that people are put into our lives for a reason and at the mnoments when we need them as well! I find this board to be a place where I can come to find peace and comfort. I get huge support from people here and I have come to know some truly amazing people! One of my biggest pet peeves is that people who I have come to "know" often leave and then I sit back and wonder what happened to them. Even here in the cyber world we can develop relationships with people and come to feel as we know them and all. It saddens me when they disappear. I do know they are out there living life but I still wonder and hope they are well and happy!

I appreciate the post and I think we all need to look in our mirrors everyday and tell ourselves how wonderful we all truly are. We so often forget to "love" oursleves!

Take care and have a great one!

P.S. I love the new avie. I had to scroll down to your last post and see if that was you! Fantastic job you are doing!!!!!!

Unfortunately, I had to delete this post due to privacy concerns.

Got a lap band in 2008. Tried hard, but didn't lose much weight & developed swallowing problems. Fought my insurance company for almost a year & finally had a band to DS revision on 5/11/12. Have now lost 125 pounds. Yay!
