hi all...

i just wanted to write and share the joy of my first anniversary with all of you.
i cant believe the time has passed, and i was sitting here a yr ago thinking, i am about to change my life for good...
it has been the best thing i could've done for myself.
there were some hurdles in the beginning, but if that's all i had to do to obtain what i have now... i tell everyone..i would do the surgery again in a heartbeat!

i have lost a total of 130 pounds to date... i went from a size 24 to a 4  my starting weight was 272 pounds which now i am the proud owner of a 140 pound body....
but most of all... it not about what i have lost, ironically it's what i have gained!!!!!!!!!!
a new life!!!!!!!!   for me!!!!!!!

i thank all of you who have encouraged me and supported me along the way...without that it makes the journey harder....

for all those who have reached their goal congrats to you!!!!
and for those who are working on it... you will get there...i know it!

take good care, and be well!!!

wow Linda!  Thats awesome!!  Congratulations my dear friend!  I am sooo proud of you and your success!  You really are an inspiration to us all.  You are so right, though.  You may have lost the weight, but what you gain is soooo amazing and wonderous!  I feel the same way.  Congrats again and go out and celebrate!  Do something fun that was difficult to do a year ago!   Love ya!  Eldy

thank you eldy... (my angel)

i have been doing things right along that i couldn't do before..and what a feeling it is to accomplish those goals!!!

i must say, although i have reached my goal, it is a continuing journey from here on in, to make the right decisions, and to stick with it...however, it maybe a bit different now that i have changed my "lifestyle"...
i hope all is well with you...

take good care
