Thank you so much for everything you write. Quite an inspiration for me! Congratulations on your success. ?

You are an inspiration to those of us yet to reach maintenance.  Thanks for posting.

Thanks for your post! You're always a big contributor on OH and it's great to see your success and encouragement! Keep it up! 

Hi Carol,

Congratulations on everything you've accomplished!  Your posts have always been extremely helpful and motivating for me. I will be six months post-op on 1/21 and have 18 more pounds to lose before reaching goal weight.  The sharing of your experience and advice has helped more than you know.  I am afraid of maintenance, having regained so many times in the past, but I am committed to this plan.  I know I will continue to come to this board to seek out the wisdom of long-time contributors like yourself when I'm struggling.  Thanks for all you do!

Carol, you already know what I think about you and your accomplishments !!!

Congrats on 3 !!!!

To the noobs and vets alike..... Go to school on Cappy! If you want what she has done...... study her !!!

Hi Carol!  You are a year ahead of me, and I remember when I first joined OH, you were already inspiring me!  You have done such a great job, and what you say rings so true to me - maintenance is hard, and you have to continue to make good choices.  I am so happy for you that you are doing so well going into year 3 and following plan.  Congratulations!!!

I love love love hearing success stories.  They put good energy into the universe.  I am past 6 years and regained about 5 pounds but i was down to bmi of about 20.  I am about 22 now and thats cool.

Here's to wishing you many more years of healthy weight.  visit the vsg maintenance group for inspiration.   diane s.
