Slow and steady!
FINALLY - I am no longer obese! Sheesh. That was a long 20 years!
I have lost 120 pounds as of today, since starting this journey (thats 93 since surgery) and though it is slower than many, it still feels damn good. I am only overweight! I can't believe it...
and 24 pounds from my personal goal. Will I make it? Maybe...it has been harder than I thought. The truth is, I look SOOOOO much better and feel 1000 times better than I have - well - ever!
Thank you all for your support every step of the way. It has been my lifeline.
Thank you all for being part of my chosen family!!

You make my life better
Seriously--my life's a better place to be 'cause you're in it. Nobody deserves to get there more--nobody works harder.
