THANK YOU OH... AND THANKS FOR ALLOWING ME TO SHARE!!!! After all I got to walk a runway over 50 and minus 203 pounds 5 years and 8 months post gastric bypass surgery ... what an awesome way to celebrate my monthly surgery anniversary on 10/5/2012 ..WOOT .. I had a BLAST!!!

 I sooo enjoyed meeting you and MSW you two ladies are my hope. I admire your spirit and I now really feel apart of the OH family. It was an awesome experience and it motivated me to get back on track. I pray that  you and MSW had a safe trip home. Maybe we can meet up at the next conference. Thank you both for the hugs because you ladies just don't know what it meant to me at that moment.

 It was such a pleasure and a honor meeting you Nieceb ... both you and your friend are just AWESOME and lovely ladies ... your friend is a hoot! she had me in stitches ... and laughter is soooooooooo good.... 

 We were talking about how you and MSW have such beautiful spirits and outer beauty. Seeing the both of you gives me hope. We was talking about what Dr. Mascik said to me about maybe 253 lbs. is where I am going to be and how it mad so many of the people upset and how they supported me and encouraged me not to accept what he said. After seeing you and MSW, I have a renewed hope that I can lose more and get more healthier. I also learned that being apart of a support system is very important and thank you ladies for allowing me to participate in this group.

I was so hapy to run in to you!  I tried to find you again but got lost in the shuffle.  Hope we meet again.  It meant a lot to me too.  Much luv.    

 It was like you disappeared into thin air. I thought I would see you at the fashion show. I am just overwhelmed that I got to actually hug you ladies. I have a lot of respect for you ladies and admiration you are my hope along with MS Lee. Muv luv, hopefully we'll see each other at the next one

I looked for you at the show too and assumed you did not come, damn.  Sorry we missed each other in the same damned room, lol.  Next time for sure! 

 Girl I was on stage in the show. LOL. Do you know if they posted the pictures from the conference

Your dedication to picture journaling is amazing.  Awesome pics as always! 

It was a fantastic weekend.  I'm already looking forward to the next time.     

Love! love! love the pics
