CONGRATS!!! xxxBecca

Well, tomorrow is my six monthiversary! My surgery was on August 2nd, 2007. I've had lots of setbacks and situations that have not been pleasant. Would I do it all over again for the loss I've had and the improvement in health I've had? YOU BET I WOULD!! I have had many "WOW" moments-- too many to tell all. All I can say is, I've begun a new life, a new look, and a new me has emerged with excitement for life!! I've lost 90+ pounds and still losing. I won't give up until I reach my goal weight. I'm still making up my mind exactly what that weight will be. My ideal weight according to doctors and charts, etc is 130. I want to be 120, at least for awhile. I've always said, "for just ONE DAY I'd like to be too skinny!" Well, it all depends on how I look and feel as I near that 130 lb mark. If I look emaciated I won't lose further. I didn't have surgery to make myself look sickly. I want health. The wonderful way we look after all is said and done is only an added bonus in my opinion. But mannnnn does it feel good to look good again! LOL! God bless you ALL for your efforts and for the support of each other! Brenda

THAT IS SO AWESOME!!!!!!!!!! WHAT AN AMAZING FEELING THAT MUST BE. BEST WISHES ON YOUR WAY TO YOUR NEXT GOAL!!!!
