Excited!

I had been fluctuating and with all the traveling I have been doing in the last four months, I just KNEW I was going to put on weight...but I am actually losing again.  As of this morning I am 146.4.  That is a total of 161 pounds lost so far.  I realize that you have to like yourself fat or slim and I did/do...but dammit, I feel like a HUMAN BEING again and that is a wonderful feeling! Melanie

Way To Go Melanie. Ellen

Thank you!  Hope that elbow is getting better, sweetie...

 Hi Mel,    My wrist has improved 100% in the past couple days. I am using it a lot more. My elbow still want straighten but over all, use of my arm is improving every couple days. I have 3 weeks before I go back to Vandy. Maybe by then all will be normal.    Did I tell you Nicole said she faxed all my paperwork to the insurance again. I doubt she got everything right. lol Will let you know if/when I hear anything. Hugs Ellen

Way to go Melanie. You have done a wonderful job.

I am 2 weeks ahead of you and I find that I am still losing too. I know what you mean about feeling like a human being again. I LOVE this feeling!

It is something that people who have never been morbidly obese can understand.  As much as I like LOOKING better, it is the FEELING better means more.

We are all just some fabulously foxy chicks...but we always were!

Wow !  What an inspiration you are to those of us just beginning the journey!  Thanks for posting your success! Freddie

Thank you!  And it is obvious that you are well on your way too!  I am proud of you!

Congrats Melanie, That is so awesome, I know it is easy to gain when you travel so give yourself a pat on the back from me. You go girl. Darlene

Thanks, chickie!  I appreciate that!  Now withthe start of the semester looming, I am going to have to STAY focused!
