Cool Hey Ms. Readytobehealthy!!!

I just wanted to give a shout out to you on this special day of yours!

Ever since I came across this great group of people in this forum, I've watched your countdown with each message of support you've given throughout these threads.

Well today is your last visit with your Nutritionist...the last 't' you had to cross in all those hoops we have to jump through on the way to the goal--the beginning of the rest of it all

Hope your day is a great one--you deserve it, girl!

--Beth

Default Thank you!!!!!!!!

Beth and all my TT family -

Yes, I finally reached my last weigh in today and I'm excited and proud, but I realize I couldn't have done it without all of you. I want to thank each of you for your support and patience. I hope you all know how much I appreciated all the encouragement. It's because of you that I was able to get through this.

Special thanks to the "oldies" for sharing all your experiences and who motivated me to start (and finish!). Also special thanks to the "newbies" for your encouragement and willing to want to keep on.

This has really touched me today and it will forever be with me. EVERYONE made me feel like home since I have been on this board. Please continue to keep me in your prayers that I hear something real soon from the insurance company and I will continue to keep EVERYONE in mines.

GOD BLESS everyone and yes it is a GREAT day for me!!!!

Meg thank you for your kind words!!!! I wish you well during your journey Meg and I know you will come out on top. I want to pass this quote on to you that was passed on to me back when I started this journey in January:

"There are two choices really.
You can either surrender to the pressures of life and the struggles of this particular battle.....
or you continue to fight.....and do so with even more vengence and determination to reach your goals then you did before.
I choose the fight.....I know what it will get me"

GOOD LUCK Meg and I will KEEP you in my prayers!!!!

Thanks Clark and I have to be honest, the waiting is more harder than the 6 month journey. I have been keeping busy and keeping my EYEZ on the prize. Hopefully I will hear something soon!!!
