You are such an asset to all of us in the CR & a very good friend! We all love you & will miss you dearly so please do hurry back to us! Remember all that you have learned & now advise others to do as well. Walk....Walk.....Walk.....& use your Spirometer as these are Sooooooo very important in the recovery as you know. This is a lifestyle change that you are about to undergo as you know. You will soon be a Postie & a Big Loser in life & it is so exciting to watch someone lose their wt & then get to their goal of being not only slender, but most importantly, healthy! Good Luck to you my friend! You will do just awesome!!!!!Lynnie
