Wow judy you look so good  too, you look like a total different person. you have done a great job keep it up.  You will be seeing me around more so till then take care of you. Hugs Melody

Melody...How wonderful to hear from you again. I have wondered what was happening with you many times. I hope things are better with you and your husband. Weight loss does change things, many times it empowers us to make the changes we have needed to make. 202 POUNDS...that is amazing, but even more amazing is the ABILITY to run a 5K.  Could you even imagine that a few years ago? Working in a pre-school sounds perfect for you. Next time you are in "nine months of hell" don't be a stranger to us...we love you and we need you. I am glad you have your son around you now....and of course your grandbabies. Love, Marti

Hello Marti your words have always touched my heart. You are just to sweet. I have missed you too. My life has changed so much for the better, BUT I had to hit rock bottom mentally, I don't know if I should say poor me or poor hubby,  In my mind I thought my hubby was having an affair on me cause I was fat, I never could find a thing just a few #s. I was digging and digging to find something out and there was nothing oh my. I gave it up to god he is in control not me. So I am back to normal. thank you for the warm welcome back. Hugs to you, Melody

Aloha darling, beautiful Melody....YOU were one of the first OFFers I came to cherish....long time ago, and I have missed you tremendously. I am so glad that you are back! I, too, have been MIA somewhat lately. I answer so many posts IN MY MIND....but don't have the time or energy to type them out and hit "enter." Ha!

You are I seem destined to have grandsons!! My third was just born May 13th, another little doll boy who is precious and lovable beyond words to describe. I KNOW you know what Im talking about!

Your success on this WLS journey is nothing short of miraculous, and I hope you give yourself the credit where credit is due. You have lost a LARGE PERSON!!! You no longer are carrying around a BIG MAN or woman on your back!! Run, baby, run! Run for all of us who can't run, but can rejoice in YOUR running.

Welcome back!! Don't go away again for so long, please! You are such an important part off this wonderful little family!

Aloha nui loa,

Maui Karen

Welcome home Melody!  Glad you are feeling better and ready to live life to the fullest! Hugs, Lora
