WOW! Congratulations and thank you for sharing your pics and progress...such an inspiration!! I am only about 7 weeks out and you give me hope! I can't wait till I am a year out to where I can do things with my son. I am like you were, Just go home after work and sit...it's really depressing. So happy that you have found the new you and will live your life to the fullest!!

YOU LOOK AWESOME.  So proud of you.  I hope to be sleeved sometime this summer.  I am just in the beginning stages of the process.   But I am pumped and reading about your journey and dedication and lifestyle change, that just encourages me more.  We are raising a 7 yr old granddaughter so I need more energy and want to do things with her that I cannot do now.  So thank you for sharing.  This motivates me even more!
