Rose, you never have to compare yourself to any other sleever because YOU are in the very elite class of losers of over 100 lbs. WOW.  An achievement to never be underestimated.  Length of time is not the measure... loss of weight and the comorbidities are all that matter!!  You rock.

Thank you!  This is why I shared what has helped me and what I'm still working on so you can know how I managed to lose this weight.  You can do it!

congrats Rose on ur success so far, 150 pds in 9 mos is truly an accomplishment to say the least! you truly are an inspiration, i enjoy reading ur responses to posts.. they are always filled with lots of wisdom, factual & thoroughly researched info, and most importantly a calm & caring nature, which is what i enjoy most abt them!

once again, thank you soo much for being that warm & welcoming person that you are to us newer folks & for providing your insight and experiences! i will look forward to reading more of ur kind & gentle advice in the future (i have to add even ur Avatar is a soothing picture to see while reading ur posts)! so IMHO i think at 9 mos out, you hv advanced yourself on a 'fast-track' to Vet status on OH, so keep up the great posts & responses!

Continued success to you hon.. i hv no doubt in my mind that u are well on your way to attaining your weightloss goals very soon, you've got this all figured out so well, so success will be your only outcome!

Happy Mother's Day to you.. & Hugssssss!
