An Awesome Experience!!!

Hi all, Just wanted to share how this past weekend I went snow tubbing and skiing for the first time in my life and it was AWESOME!!!!! The first time down the bunny slope on skiis, I wept like a baby, because I truly realized how my obesity has held me back for sooo many years. Well, I'm down approximately 88lbs and feeling like there's nothing I cannot do! Maryellen PS I really need to update these pics soon.

MaryEllen, Congrats on your weight loss. Your post is so inspirational for me, because it makes the end result so real. I hope to be joining the loser bench soon. Who knows, maybe I'll see ya on the slopes someday! Janet

Thanks Janet, Congrats to you on researching WLS! I can say it is by far the best decsion I have ever made! I take it day by day, but have had very few issues...and I THANK GOD for that daily!!! I truly feel as though this is my second chance in life. WLS is a tool, follow your doctors rules for afterwards and it will all be great! Keep in touch! Maryellen

Whoo hoo! Go girl go!!! Hugs, Amy

GRAZIE AMY!!! Maryellen
