Thank you! I am so thankful for this site, it's been one of my biggest tools.
Congratulations on your first anniversary. What an achievement in your weightloss and your health! You have done so well and to be honest, you are one of the nicest people on OH.
You have every reason to be super proud of what you have achieved and to all the people coming up behind you ... THIS is how it's done!
Don't be a stranger, ongoing support and remaining plugged in is one of the main factors in long term success!

Aw, thank you for such a lovely compliment! I definitely agree though, these forums have been invaluable. I wish I had time to post every day like I did before I started work, but even though I can't I still browse it every day just about.
