Hi all. This might get a little long. I am officially at 6 months today. I have gone from 240 to 170. Size 22-24 to 16. I am finally realizing how much my weight was a problem and how much it affected me. I am crying tears of joy at how much I have lost and accomplished. I exercise, eat right and spend quality time with my kids. I didn't realize until this morning how I felt about myself. Dr. Potts has given me a new lease on life as they say and I am forever greatful. The support you guys have given me is priceless and I thank you all for being here. For the first time in a long while, I am crying tears of joy!!! Thanks for listening.

"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."
