VA WLS-LIFESTARTS PERSON OF THE MONTH

SWEET Tink

For the month of March I am proud to announce that Steve Whitmer is our featured Person of the Month.

I met Steve in January, 2005. He was attending my WLS Conference . The Snow Ball .
I remember seeing this very tall handsome man , who I so wanted to dance with . But for some reason I did not have the courage to do so . And for the first time , I am admitting here , and Kristen knows this already .. so this is not new to her ...
I had a terrible crush on him .  But that inner person of mine was to scared to talk to him .. for fear he would think I was ugly and not his type .
I feel we did become friends after that and have remained friends since .

Steve is a man that I think everyone would want in their circle . He has always been upfront, honest and always encouraging.
When I was in the hospital sick , he sent me flowers and candy . He always has encouraging words for me .

In Atlanta , I was so excited to see him . He was the first person that I seen as I walked through the doors to the pool . He picked me up , I straddled him with my legs and kissed and hugged on him . It felt really good to see him again . And we had a great time .
I am pleased now to know that he and Kristen are together . One of my closest BFF's and Steve .. what more could you ask for .
I wish him and Kristen nothing but pure sweet love , as they continue on with their relationship.

Steve's weight loss journey is very inspiring . I hope that you all take time to go to the site
(

Steve has been a member here on SBAAWLS for at least 5 years , and has proven to be someone who cares about this board and is someone as I said .. to have in your circle .

Thank you Steve for always being a good true friend to me . I love you dearly ! And I wish you nothing but the very best in your life today and for always,

Always,
Your .. Tink !!

May I be the second to thank Steve for being such a wonderful friend and strong shoulder to lean on when struggling along the way.  Words can't express the gratitude I have for him.  He was there for me when I was facing band removal and when my RNY went sour, he was there when I needed to reach out.  He was there when I needed cheering up!  Thank you Steve!!

We love you Steve!!!
