re: Double milestone

Congrats and HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You really are doing great.And it is such a wonderful feeling when you go shopping hoping to fit into one size and walk out 2 sizes down from that. I went shopping with my daughter today and after arguing with her about sizes finally gave in and tried on a size 9 in JRs and a small top and just about flipped when they were a perfect fit. I hope you had a lovely day. Cathy

Elissa, Happy belated birthday! And double congats on losing that 200 tag. I'll see you on Saturday as long as I get finished the cycling session in the morning. I'm thinking of getting the lap band so it should be an interesting session. I wonder if they make rubber bands small enough to go around my new stomach. Won't be able to join you for lunch since I am going to start my Body Pump trainer course Saturday afternoon, but it sounds like you might not need a chaperone at Bare Essentials anyway. Two cheers from your best bud, Rob

Happy (belated) Birthday dear angel! Funny when I heard you say it was your B-day I am so used to us referring to our surgery date as our "Birthday" and thought what is she talking about...her surgery was in January. Anyhow I came to my senses, (Ok, that's debatable!), and wanted to wish you all the best because you deserve the best! Hope your family treated you well and that you had a fun day. And about that other milestone (< 200)! So cool, I am so happy for you. Again, if anyone deserves success it is you; you have inspired so many of us gain our own successes. You looked mah-vel-lous the last time I saw you! Kitty-Lisa-Kitty

Elissa, A very belated birthday to you. and congratulations on going under 200. I am envious. I think I need to go back to square one and start over....you know, a few days of clear liquids, then pureed. I've even cut back on the anaerobic workout and almost doubled the aerobics. Well, even if I don't loose another pound, Im still SSOOOOOOO much better than I was before. Hope to see you...and everyone else, soon! Ken

Happy Belated birthday and congrats on all of your wonderful successes You rock
