Great post Dawnita! I am so proud of you! How fun is it to be able

to do the things you do now! And to shock and amaze so many! I made

flyers and have been handing them out to people who ask me what my

weight loss secret is! I bet you have had/are having fun shopping

for clothes now too!

Glad to hear from you,

Penny

> Wow...what a ride this has been. I am 12 lbs from goal and I can't

hardly believe I am even the same person! I just got back from a

church campmeeting and you would not BELIEVE the number of people who

thought (a) that my husband had gotten divorced and remarried, or (

I was my younger sister, or © I was someone else entirely. I got

blank stares when I said hello to people I have known ALL OF MY

LIFE...but had not seen in a couple of years. I had to introduce

myself to family members. My husband DID introduce me to a couple of

people as his " new " wife, Dawnita...and then told them how I lost

almost half of myself. I wouldn't be surprised if several of them

don't get the lapband for themselves now! What a blessing Dr A has

been in my life!! I handed out 10 of the fridge magnets I picked up

at the booth at the Seattle bash that have been hanging on my fridge

in my camper for months. I am now saving to get a tummy tuck...I

REALLY need one....it isn't just about the way it looks...but how it

FEELS to wear a " skin skirt " . I find it affects my posture and makes

my back hurt, and the heat rash I sometimes get UNDER it is

miserable...BUT I wouldn't trade for my old body for ANYHING! I now

have the energy to play with my grandkids (got a new granddaughter

the 2nd of July) and am training a Peruvian horse on my OWN for the

first time. I can even " stick " when he has a little bronco buckaroo

attack...something I could not do previous to losing the

weight....his momma tossed me more than once!

> I still try to read the list every day, even tho I rarely post

anymore...it is so good to see so many of you succeeding at regaining

your health...being " skinny " was never my goal...being HEALTHY was

IT! But it is looking like skinny might be in my forecast

now....who'd of thunk it???
