Kathy you've done so well!! Just over 130lbs gone from a year ago....AMAZING!!!
I know for myself, I can't believe I will be a year out in a couple months. In some ways it doesn't seem that long ago, I was anxiously awaiting my surgery.
Reading your posts through out the year, not only have you done well weight wise, you have gotten really active and I really admire you for that.
Keep up the hard work, and you'll get out of the 170s before you know it.
The pictures of the snow are nice and scenic; however the snow and super cold temperatures can take a hike now lol
Take care.

Thank you so much, Amanda.
I'm with you; it seems like yesterday i was terrified of but eagerly awaiting surgery, and now here it is almost a full year later and it went by so fast.
I hate the super cold temps where I can't even walk outside. Luckily we've been getting more normal winter temps for about a week so I can get out. It's still below freezing and I have to bundle but it's not crazy cold like when we had that week of -25 to -40. That was nuts.
I wish I lived in a place where I could ride my bike year round. The stationary bike just isn't the same, lol.
