wow. time flies!

I'm training now for a 5K run that my brother-in-law challenged me to. We're running together. I've never run before in my life. can't wait.

I've lost 111lbs. I've never lost 11lbs before. I'd never joined weigh****chers, Jenny craig, or tried south beach, atkins... you name it, I DIDN'T do it. I just never thought I could. Here I am, free of diabetes wearing size 14 pants that are nearly falling off my butt they are so big.

To anyone *****ads this - YOU CAN DO IT. Let your tool help you, and commit as best you can to following the rules. Seek advice of your surgeon, your WLS friends and support group.

I'm so grateful!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Happy surgiversary - today is my 9 month surgiversary and I am down 90 lbs. I am also in 14 pants, but they are bagging in the waist.

Congratulations and good luck on the run!
