Very inspirational.  My biggest challenge is the mental part and your post is proof that a positive attitude is the key to success!  Thanks and continued good luck and health.

You are amazing.

Oh my gosh, I have tears. Thank you for the inspiration. Most importantly: congratulations on your many successes.  Such tenacity.  I am I awe! 

Congrats on your anniversary! What a year you have had!!! Here is to you being healthy and more compete hugs from your daughter!

Your post made me cry some tears of happiness, Red .  Congrats on not just surviving but THRIVING this last year!  You constantly amaze me with your true awesomeness.  

Hi Sister! I haven't been on here for awhile, but I had to post a 1 year update and pics.  And---I had to check up on you! You have done amazingly, especially with all of the other stress you and your body have been through.  Looks like we are both about the same weight now.  3/7/14 must've been a good day to have surgery!

Keep it up...I will make sure to keep checking up on you because you are inspiring.
