This is great news! Wow, you'll be having your surgery before you

know it. I know that when I got to the point that you're at now, it

all seemed to move so quickly. It seemed like a blur!

Take some time to reflect on how wonderful you've done. And take

pictures and measurements NOW. You'll want that info to compare your

success later on.

Happy dance for you!

You are all so good to me. I really needed it, thanks. I got on the

scale at my daughter's doctor today and was 253. Wow. At orientation

I was 276. I sure hope there isn't a 20 lb difference between scales.

I AM ON FIRE HERE. I guess the goal is right.

I also had 3 people come up to me today and inform me the pants I was

wearing are maybe a bit too big. Oh come on, 20 lbs you can't tell

when you are this big, right? I guess I was wrong.

Sorry a bit of an exciting day for me.

I am so glad to have you all to share in it with me.
