Wishing Everyone a Blessed Thanksgiving

I'm feeling especially blessed this year. My marriage was healed. I was able to get weight loss surgery. I have my health back. I'm very grateful for these things. I know there are several of you here who have suffered great loss during this year. Holidays are especially hard when there are empty places at the table. I want you all to know that I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers tomorrow. Especially Marilyn and her family and Susan and her family and Baboo. You all have been through so much and I just wanted to let you know that we havent forgotten you.

Blessings,
Karen

Thank you for sharing your heart, Karen.  I had a wonderful Thanksgiving, and life is most wonderful as well.  I have my health, my family which I am utmost thankful for, people and friends (many I met through wls and here on this board) who love me, and I am able to reciprocate that love back to them.  

Indeed, many of our loved ones have suffered major losses this year.  I pray that they be comforted through the next few weeks and months as the holidays are a difficult time of year for people to endure.  

Hope you had a blessed day with your family.  Hugs, my friend.

Karen, I haven't been on here much lately, but I just wanted to tell you how good you look!  i am slowing down some.  Weight loss is kind of slow now and I'm about down to one or two pounds a month.  Don't know why, really but it is still coming off and I am still happy.  I'm at a size 12 and between 172 and 173 from 297.  I can't fuss about that.  I feel like a different person!  I know you do too. 

Just wanted to touch base with you and tell you have very proud I am of you!  Happy Holiday season to you too.  (I missed Thanksgiving, so I'll just tell you "happy" for the whole season. LOL.

Bye now.

Thanks, Cathy. You are looking great too. My loss has slowed down too. I still have almost 30 pounds to get to my goal. I will lose several pounds in a few days and then stall for a couple of weeks. It is getting frustrating. Sometimes I'm sure I'm done losing and then I will lose a pounds or two and get excited and then stall again. Part of this is my own fault. During the last couple of months I've lightened up on my plan a bit. Need to get back on track and be strict with myself until I get to goal.

You hang in there and so will I! Happy Holidays to you too.

Karen
