Thank you all for your wonderful comments and words of support~ This board continues to just be such a wonderful WLS family for me and I don't know what I'd do without y'all!  Thanks again~ *hugs to all*

I think you hit on it right here...The board is a strong support system through all the years of this journey. I admire that about you. You didn't leave the board once you had your surgery and reached your goals...You continue to be here to encourage others and that is paying it back...
You are still encouraging others with this picture of hope for all of us. Thank you so much for sharing it with us. You look wonderful!!

You look mahvelous!!!

you look awesome!! and hot if i may say so!! i just hope i can look as good as you do!! i need to buy a swimsuit for this summer but mentally i'm not prepared!! keep up the good work and you are an inspiration to me!!

When I first started coming to OH, it was after my fertility Dr. suggested that I have WLS.  I have PCOS and I've been trying to get pregnant for many years.  I came to OH looking for info and answers.  

You were one of the first profiles I stumbled upon and I was so impressed with you.  You were the success story I wanted to see.  Correction, needed to see. 

I am so impressed about how open you are and how willing to share your story with others.  You are my inspiration and you're one Hot Momma!  Thanks for being our cheerleader!

Renae,
Your one of the first people here to welcome me with open arms and be a shoulder to cry on, and an ear to listen through these months of agrivation for me. I will never be able to thank you enough for being such a good friend and supporter during this time in my life. I feel blessed that we share a surgeon and live close enough that we can occasionally get together! I know that your about to face a tough time, and I want you to know from the bottom of my heart that anytime you need me, i'm here for you. Maybe by next summer I can join you in my bikini and we can take the kids to the beach!! You look awesome and continue to impress me!! Love ya! Text me later.

You have come so far and you are looking so good!  Congrats to you!!! 

Wow, look at you...one hot mama!!!  I'm so impressed and have been amazed by your story from day one of my journey.  You've been a cheerleader to all of us and have paved the way for us.  I LOVE reading your posts and know tht we can continue to maintain after our goals are met!  We've heard so many horror stories lately about folks eating around it all and I know it happens but we also needed to see that it DOES NOT HAVE TO!!!  Thanks for sharing!!

I will be praying for you and your family and especially that your husband will be safe while he is deployed.  I so appreciate what he does for me and my Country!!!  We should never take our freedom forgranted and know that freedom is not free!!!  Thanks again.

(((hugs)))
