I feel so incredibly grateful to have been given this tool. I feel like my whole life has changed, for the better.
I am so glad I didn't wait longer to finally admit, and be honest with myself in needing help.
Its been 20 plus years of dieting, sabotaging, torturing myself, and doing awfully unhealthy things in an attempt to lose weight.
And now that's all history. I finally feel in control. 63 lbs in 10 weeks. Just amazing. I'm a tad emotional this eve, but I just feel so grateful!
I am so grateful for your sharing along the way. I am still waiting.....have a couple more meetings then they will move me on to the surgeon....It is so hard waiting but when I read your posts I see the end result and it motivates me to try harder and keep going. I am glad you are doing so well and your accomplishments are amazing.

Yay! It feels amazing, doesn't it? Good to hear you're in high spirits! I know for me, the first 5 weeks were pretty tough, but by week 7-8, I was feeling amazing, and still am. Keep it up, and thank you for the kind words.
