Well, it's official!!!

Jim, Thank you!! It is a great feeling & something I had wished for for many years!!! I guess it is true after all... dreams can come true!!! (cue the Disney music...) Keep up the great work - you are doing an awesome job too!!!  Cece

Dearest Cece, I am SO happy for you.  You are doing great and deserve all the success in the world.  Your amazing weight loss certainly didn't happen by itself; you're doing the legwork! hugs,

Karen, Thanks!! I know I am busting my butt some days to really stay on track!! It's sure ain't easy, as they say!!! Speaking of which... I had dinner with a friend last night who made a reference to another friend of her's who was considering the lapband a few yrs ago & she said something about it being the "easy way" out! Now, I know what she meant by that & it referred to that particular person & her inability to follow any diet plan & just give up without giving it the right amount of effort however, I did clarify that comment pretty darn quick... there isn't anything easy about it at all!!! I guess she talked that friend out of the surgery & now she is still suffering!! Some people should really leave that up to the professionals!! I am sure her surgeon/psych would have known she was missing something to make it work!! UGH - people, I know some mean well but geez...!! Cece

Cece, congrats on getting into Twoderville!!  I know exactly how you feel, I haven't been there long myself and I remember  crying when I saw that number on the scale.  You are doing phenomenal and are an inspiration to all of us!!! Flo

Thanks Flo!! Who'd ever think that weighing in the 200s would be something to celebrate, huh? I am sure celebrating!!! On to the 100s... oh good lord, you'll hear me crying from here!!! Keep up the awesome work!!! You're doing great!! Cece
