Exactly 6 months ago...

I would have never thought that 6 months ago i would be where i am today... 6 months ago I weighed in at 286lbs and went under the knife to change that all. It was by far the best thing i have ever done in my life! Today, my weight is no longer in the 200's. YIPPIE!! I am now 197.5, making that  a total of 88.5lbs lost... I couldn't have given myself a better Christmas gift!

Of course, i could not have done this without some help. I want to thank my families, my family by blood and my chosen family, you guys. Thank you so much for all of your support! I would not have made it this far if it weren't for all of you. I love you all immensely and words are just not enough!

With that said... Merry Christmas! We have all come so far in the past year so i think we all deserve a little present for ourselves... maybe some new clothes, lol

Love Always,

Meredith

Hey Mer!

Happy six month anniversary! Happy six month birthday to your pouchy!

You are doing so well! You really are! I'm proud of all of my friends and newfound family here but I have to admit that you, my darlin', have not ceased to amaze me!

Here you are, 20 (almost 21) years old, away from home, at college, lots of peer pressure, no real physical support system and YOU ARE DOING IT!!! I can't say I would be able to do the same if it were me! You really are a wonderful, amazing young woman!

So, your birthday is coming up in a couple days.....I can not wait to hear all about it!

I had my first alcoholic beverage(s) on Christmas day. Definitely try it at home first, k? Whoop! I'm tellin' ya!!! hee hee, what a trip!!! I don't recommend trying it for the first time while you're out celebrating your 21st beeday!

Love ya kiddo!
