One Year Anniversary TODAY!!!

I had to share my news!!  I can officially say I lost 123 lbs. in a year!!  I am almost out of the 'obese' BMI range as well.  I have lost 40% of my total body weight, I have gone from a size 26/28-30/32 to a size 16!  Also, my rings were resized last week, and I went from a 6 1/2 and a 7 to both of my wedding rings now being a 4 1/2.  I am so unbelievably proud at how far I have come!  Yesterday I was out playing in the snow, this summer walking and hiking.  Who is this girl?  And the best part, at my appt. they gave me my 'before' photo, which I had never seen until today.  When I held it next to my 'after' photo they took today, I couldnt believe it was me.  When I started to thank my surgeon for giving me my life back, I broke down.  I was overcome with emotion, looking at that sad, depressed, and defeated girl in the before picture.  I wanted to pinch myself to make sure I wasnt dreaming.  Is life perfect now?  No....but it is so much fun living!!!  Have a blessed day, and thanks for all the support!  So glad I found this group!  :)

That is awesome! Wow you have tiny little fingers.

Congratulations, you have done an amazing job working your tool.  You are an incentive to others to see your success.  Enjoy your new life.
