Hi friends I must apologize for taking so long on the update. As everyone else knows time just seems to be flying by. I am down to 208 lbs. from 270 that's a total of 62 lbs and it feels great!! I have started getting on my treadmill more frequently and at my last two minutes I am running. People tell me quite often how good I look and how skinny I am getting but of course I don't see that part yet I started out in a size 22/24 and now I am getting into a size 16 and heading into a size 14. I haven't had any complications (Praise God) I am still eating very little at a time and yes I do cheat and have chocolate and it doesn't bother me. The blessing in all of this is that it is easier for me to get back on track not being able to eat the large portions now reminds me to get my protein in first and my water I drink alot of water, I mean cases. Losing the weight has definitely got me more in the social realm I want to talk and do more things now I also be wanting to try different things which feels really good so until next time thank you OH family for the support and encouragement because it truly helps.Love you all and enjoy life because we only have this one to live.

Michele
