Thank you Jane. It means a lot to me to know that my story and words have and can be a help to others. Extending a hand to all that are traveling this journey is truly one of my greatest desires...so please know I'm here for anyone reading my words...even the lurkers. I honestly always welcome any questions that people may have and I never mind getting pm's asking me questions. I know that I don't know it all and that I am still learning, myself but I am always willing to share what I do know.

Oh thank you so much. You all are so sweet! I still can't believe I finally made it. I worked and worked at trying to get those last 10 pounds off and it just wouldn't budge...I go and get that silly gallbladder out and the weight just dropped off like crazy and I wasn't even trying to lose the weight then!!
Yep, Sherry dropped 2 more pounds in 2 days and now I seem to be holding steady. I'm happy right where I am now so not really looking to lose any more. I figure if I can maintain between 145-150 I will be VERY happy!
