Woohoo!
I am a happy cat.
Today, I entered onederland - I am now the lightest I have ever been in my adult life. I've lost 115 pounds from my highest weight and 87 since surgery. I feel fantastic! I can do things again that I only dreamed of - I ran! I actually ran up a hill no less!
I just wanted to share this amazing feeling with the forum gang - for those of you starting your journey, it is so amazingly wonderfully worth it! For the vets, thank you so much for sticking around and sharing your experience and wisdom - it has made all the difference.
WOOHOO!
It is great isn't it! Congratulations!
