LATE-BREAKING NEWS!

3 weeks ago while on vacation is Israel.......... I MADE THE CENTURY CLUB!!!!! I'm now down 110 pound and just 7 months post-op! My only regret??? I wish I had done this when I was a 20 or 30-something. But I have to stop the "shoulda-woulda-coulda" and be grateful for the new life I have now. This surgery saved me. I was dying...not just physically but also emotionally. I never left the house other than to go to work. Walking was almost impossible. I did nothing but work, eat (ok, binge), and sleep. I am now doing things I never thought I'd do...like going to the gym at 5:30am BEFORE work!!! Is that me?!? Hugs to all...and to all the Newbies: You are giving yourself a life-saving 2nd chance...use it properly...and never forget: it's just a tool! Hugs, Karen

Congrats Karen that must be an amazing feeling. Wow 110lbs in 7 months thats amazing!!!! Take care!!! Nicole

You , my friend, are such an inspiration. I am sooooooo very happy for you. Have a wonderful day and CONGRATULATIONS.

Yes Karen that is AWSOME! What an amazing job you are doing. Keep up the great work and I cant wait to get together again really soon! LisaMarie

Thanks, LisaMarie! When is everyone getting together? Christmas was fun! Hugs, Karen

Hiya Karen, I can't wait to see you again! Please update your pictures soon! You are doing great! Let's get together again soon. Maybe we should post a location and date and time and all meet for dinner, anybody interested? Somewhere they won't kick us out where we can hang around and chat after dinner for a few hours....any suggestions? Maryellen

Maryellen, The dinner is an AWESOME idea!!! At the very least, you and I will be there! Yeah, I need to update my pictures and my profile. Britt sent me a Century CLub card...I need to add it. Let's all put on our Restaurant thinking caps....I think dinners are good about people sitting and talking but a dinner has NO atmosphere and the food is not always great. Also good are the Chinese buffets but they make lots of money on us!!!! Hugs, Karen

Karen Congrats lady love! You are amazing and exquisite! Thanks for the support too!

It's great!!!!! It sure makes it easier to exercise and do things we havn't done in a long time.Keep up the good work!!!Yea I wish I"shoulda-woulda-coulda" too!But now it's time to put ourselfs first!Congratulations on your weightloss and that emotional baggage loss!Darlene

Hi Karen! Congratulations on making it to the century club! You must feel great! You need one of those Century Club cards for your profile! Yes I agree this is just a tool, I say that to myself every single day! Marilyn
