I am the friend!!...hi Patty!!!

Thanks everyone for being so supportive to Patty. I just had to share that I am the friend who loves this site so much, that I encouraged Patty to sign up!!

It is true that I love you all so much and could not have done this with out you and this site. But if it wasn't for Patty, I would not have had the surgery at all. She has been such an inspiration. My inspiration!!

Even though she lives in Ohio, and me in Cal. we have been friends for over 15 years and remain close dispite the distance. (she used to live in Ca.)

She is an amazing woman and if she lived closer, I know you all would adore her as much as I do.

She really needs all your words and I want to say thanks for proving me right. This is the best site on the web, with the best people ever!!!

Love Ya!
Rain

What a sweet note Rain! We have been friends for a looooong time and have had so many discussions about our struggles with weight over the years. This is by far the best thing we both could have done and even though I am struggling now, I know that things will get better soon. I have my life back and I do not want to forget where I came from. This surgery was a tremendous blessing and I would always encourage people to check it out. I am so proud of Lorraine! She looks awesome!

boy do I miss being able to see you and chat.. This is definitely the next best thing. We have always been each others support! What a blessing that we have each other. I bought a Bow Flex Ultimate and hopefully we will have it put together soon! Then, I can go to my basement and exercise daily without worrying about the kids - or having to go somewhere - which is totally impossible with my life right now. This will be great, because I love to exercise when I'm motivated.... Love Ya! Come see me soon!

I love this website! Every time I'm on line I am so excited to see who has replied! It sure is an easy way to keep in touch. I finally have my Bowflex set up as of last night. Now I just have to figure out how to use it ...... I'm encouraged to think that this will be a great asset to me. When I excercised regularly, I wasn't as stressed and didn't have the urge to eat as often.
