Hi Guys,

I just wanted to share a major milestone with you all. This morning I jumped on the scale to find that I weigh 145 lbs!! At 5'4" tall that puts me at a NORMAL BMI!!!!!!! ACK!!!!! I never thought this day would come and here it is and it feels GREAT!!! I called Stuart in to tell him the news and couldn't stop jumping up and down with excitement. I'm Normal.. I am NORMAL!!!!! Well only as far as the BMI goes.. everything else has yet to be determined..

Thanks for the kudo's.. it's been one heck of a year, but I would do it over and over again if I had to. When is the East County Meeting? I don't know if I can get to it or not. I have mid-terms on Wednesday so I will be a busy bee until then. Argh!!!

I will let everyone know how my test results come out when I get them. From the Neurologist, Plastic Surgeon, and the GI Doc. Wow I am seeing a lot of specialists right now.. I thought that was supposed to stop when you have surgery.. Just kidding..

Well you all take care and have a wonderful day.. I know I am going to!!! I am on top of the world..

Thanks Tricia,

I feel incredible. This journey has been so wonderful all in all. This is the best thing I have ever done for myself and I would do it again every year if I had to.

"People will argue with you that getting what you want in life isn’t something you can learn, if you’re destined to be one of the worlds winners as opposed to one of its perpetual whiners, its because you have been born with the right talents and temperament and have a big dose of self-esteem, ambition, and good judgment."
