Hi BAF Family!!

Finally, I've hit one of my mini-goals..............I'm down 77 pounds as of Monday morning.

Just want to thank you all for your encouraging words, kicking my butt into gear and giving me constant laughs throughout the day! I couldn't do this without y'all. I am dedicated to making this tool work for me! I can honestly see the light at the end of the tunnel.............better is the end of a thing than the beginning therof.

I've had a few wow moments but today I'm overwhelmed with the results. I feel like going on. It's getting a little harder but thank God my hubby has decided to add an additional bonus once I hit the 100 pound mark! He keeps me motivated ~ gotta love that man.

I realize this is just the beginning of my journey but I know I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me!

God Bless!!

Keep working that tool.  You're looking good!

Hi Faith!  Im actually wonderful!  The first 5 days or so were really hard and I was cursing myself for voluntarily climbing on a table to be cut.  Sleeve was tight as hell and couldnt get anything to go down w/o hurting and was having a very difficult time with nausea.

Saturday I force-fed myself a few teaspoons of greek yogurt, and things have been getting better since.  I seem to have the nausea under control, and was able to drink my first protein shake w/o intense pain last night!  :-)

I saw a few of your recent pics, you look fab dawlin'.  Glad to know that you are pleased with things this go round.

I dont really say much on the BAF boards, but want to sincerely thank the few wonderful friends/supporters that I have developed a relationship with.  Thanks, Faith
