I can't believe a whole year has passed since that wonderful day. We were going out to meet friends that we haven't seen in ten years tonight, when I realized what day it is. Everything has gone so great I can't begin to say how it has been for me. There have been times when it seemed the weight just wouldn't come off fast enough and then other times it dropped so quick. I lost hair at four months but luckily had a thick mane to start. After increasing my protein it stopped in about a month and has leveled off. I FEEL SO GOOD I CAN'T TELL YOU!!!! I CAN WALK WITHOUT GETTING OUT OF BREATHE. I CAN GO UP AND DOWN MY STAIRS AS MANY TIMES A DAY AS I WANT AND I DON'T GET TIRED OR HAVE TO HOLD ON TO PULL MYSELF UP. MY KNEES AND BACK ARE REALLY STARTING TO NOT HURT. NO MORE SNORING OR PROBLEMS SLEEPING. I CAN RUN AND PLAY WITH MY GRANDSON AND LIKE HE TELLS ME, "GRAMMY, NOW I CAN SIT IN THE LAP YOU DIDN'T USED TO HAVE." MY SON BRAGS TO HIS FRIENDS HOW PRETTY I LOOK AND THAT I HAVE A SPARKLE IN MY EYES THAT HE HASN'T SEEN FOR A LONG TIME. I'm down 135# and have gone from a tight 26/28 to a size medium. I still have trouble remembering I can shop in the regular sizes instead of the +sizes and am always picking things that are too big. I still have 30# I'd like to loose but that will take more time. When you get to my age the old elastic in the skin is not as effective so I will have to have some reconstructive surgery. Until then I'm not crazy about the look of my naked body. Maybe someday. I only know I am healthy now and that is what I'm most proud of!
