Tee hee!  Me with pompoms?!?  Never in this lifetime, but I get the sentiment!

I can't wait to meet you, face-to-face, too!  We'll make it a goal for 2012, okay?

Mag,

Congrats, I remember all too well that happy moment when I was below 200 lbs. . .   Savor the feeling you have today!

Hugs, Laureen

Laureen,
    It's been one heck of a year. Some people think I should stop losing now, but I'm not ready to do that. It's still not a healthy weight for me. I'm 5 foot 3 and 1/2 inches. I cheat and say 5' 4".     Thanks for being here for me.    Mag

Laureen,
   Hi again. As I wrote more and more replies, I realized how special you and so many others on OFF have been. Helping, teaching, encouraging. You are so kind to me. Have been since I first came to OFF. I have a difficult time "talking" to people I don't know and didn't write much in the beginning. You really did make me feel welcome and comfortable. Hopefully, I will be able to do the same as newbies come to the forum. 
    Hugs,  Mag

Mags,

You are a dear and I hope one day to meet you in person. 

I was made to feel welcome here and so I try, to the best of my ability, to treat all the way I was and how I would want to be treated since arriving here back at the end of July 2007. 

I miss many of the oldtimers who because, I like to believe, that they have just gotten so busy living they no longer are on here, but I will always remember those early days when I was a pre-op hoping that what was going on in their lives with losing weight, was going to happen for me too and when I hit those forever stalls, their words of encouragement kept me going, which is why I totally can say (and we all can) how it feels to slip into onderland!!!

Glad you proved that silly doctor wrong and better still, I hope you get wherever your dreams take you!!!

Hugs, Laureen

Connie,
    Thanks for all your help and encouragement this past 10 months. (I didn't find OFF until a few months out of surgery. Boy, I'm so glad I did.)    I keep you and so many others close to my heart.    Mag

Connie,
    I'm back. Again. I know you have been through a rough time this year. I think you are a very special person and pray for you. Like I said, "I keep you in my heart." Let me say that I pray the new year will bring you a plethora of blessings. Don't know how to spell it, but it means a VERY LARGE amount of blessings. Keep your nose clean. (A saying that my dear father used to encourage us to keep on tract.)   Mag

Hi Margaret,   
    Yes, it's been so incredible. Ever thought I would lose this much this quick. Only 49 pounds to go. I feel like I'm dreaming. Somebody pinch me!!! lol          Mag        Oh, I lost 33 pounds pre-op and the rest post-op.
