Thank you! I'm using the cheapest digital camera I could find because my good one was stolen. I am saving to get a new camera, one that does a better job with zooming and videos.

Wow Kathy I loved reading about your extraordinary journey of transformation. What a blessing to be able to be so active, and live life to the fullest. You are an inspiration to others who are at different stages of the process.

Thank you for sharing the beautiful pictures.

Thank you, Terry Lynn!

It is a real blessing to be able to be active, especially since it was so hard before. I could walk for 10 minutes then needed to sit and rest, take my ventolin, then walk for another 10 minutes, sit and rest. Now I can go for hours and hours; it's incredible. Such a gift, and I appreciate it every day.

Hey Kathy!

I loved reading your update. You are doing fantastic!

I know you had some difficulties in the beginning, but wow it sounds definitely worth it to where you are now.

I commend you on how active you are. I definitely could not keep up with you lol I need to work on that part of my journey...

Beautiful pictures. I know you live up north somewhere, but that scenery would be nice to be around daily.

Keep up the awesome job you are doing...and congrats getting to onederland and beyond!!!

Take care.
