Ms. Shell, you must know by now, I LOVE you too. I credit so much of my success to you, Lizanne, and other veterans who were here to support me through this process.

Well thank you Elina...I strive to give back as much if not more then I was given.  You have aided in reinspiring me!!

Hi Elina,

I haven't been on the boards in some time... busy getting on with life :)

Your picture is WONDERFUL... You look beautiful!!!!  Way to go!!!!

I am still losing but it has certainly slowed down.  I have gone from a size 22 to a size 12 (new Easter Dress I just bought). 

I agree with you... everyone that ask me if I would do this again I tell them absolutely... without a moments hesitation... "Absolutely nothing tastes as good as thin feels".

It's good to see you again.  I am glad you are checking in.  Looks like you are doing great!  Size 12 is fantastic.  It does slow down toward the end.  That is when I had to tighten things up a bit to get all the way to goal.  Stick around, share your success with the newbies, you know how much they appreciate it.  I don't know if you know, but there is a VSG maintenance group now.  If you haven't checked it out, you should.  It is a great group of people that is very supportive of each other.  They help keep me in line, when I need it, and I return the favor.

Lizanne, thank you.  Yes, we went dancing, and my husband was the only guy on the dance floor.  Let me tell you, he gets a few looks from the ladies when we dance.  He loves to dance as much as I do and he is a musician (hobby), so live music is big love in his life.  There is a local bar that caters to the 40-60 crowd.  It is very upscale and the bands are terrific.  The music is more our era and they almost always have a great horn section.  It is a great place to people watch, enjoy the great music and dance the night away.  Whenever we can, we get a babysitter to come in after we put the kids to bed, and go dancing
