Happy one year surgiversary to you too, Cyndi and to all of us Maysters! (I officially celebrate tomorrow!) Just think where we were a year ago this time - can you believe it? Whether we lost more than we expected, or more slowly, the important thing is that we made a significant change and comittment to living a better life for ourselves (first) and for our families. It hasn't been easy, even for those of us who had few complications, and the hard work, continued loss and/or maintenance of our new lifestyle is yet to come. But I know I wouldn't have been able to do it without the support I found here , so, I'm taking some time off from obsessing about those last few pounds I want to lose and taking time to celebrate!!!

Well, kids, we made it! One year ago today our little family was starting our new lives! I don't know about all of you, but this year has flown! I won't celebrate until the 25th but this is going to be the longest rebirth and birthday celebration I've ever had! And, this year, I'm having birthday cake on May 29th! LOL I haven't been on too much lately. Honestly, I've felt like SH*T and was at the ER for a wasted 6 hours last Friday. I'll bounce back but there's been a lot of drama in real life. And, on top of that, my beloved computer died. Thankfully I put all my important stuff on my Book external drive. But, I've been without email (goodness forbid he tell me my Verizon password) so that's been the worst. I'm on my new laptop that I hate so I'll be in and out. Happy One Year to you all!!! I know I wouldn't have been as successful without my May 2007 family. I love you all!!!!! * Cyndi *

You go, Woman!!

Has anyone seen www.WeightLossSurgeryCLub.com ?

I just wanted to let everyone know...I finally made it!!! I made it to onederland! I weighed myself yesterday afternoon and I was 199.4...but I didn't post because I figured I'd get up today and be back up over 200. But, I got up this morning...and I was 197.2!! So I really did make it! I'm so excited! I started out pushing 400 lbs...I was at 367 lbs on the day of surgery. I've lost 170 lbs in a little more than 11 months. I had set a goal to be to onederland by my one year surgiversary May 17th...so I made it a few weeks early! Hopefully this has given me the confidence boost I needed to stay on the band wagon! Just wanted to share! Oh yeah, I put up my 11 month pics today too! Check em out =) Courtney
