What I have learned after loosing 100lbs!
I have had so many wow moments lately! 
I am just so excited to be down 100lbs. I thought I was going to be stuck for a long time after the last 2 months. I have been really working my tool the last 2 weeks. I think I am scared to go into my 6 month visit and have the dr scold me.
Here are a few wow moments:
I walked the whole trail around gooseberry falls without stopping to rest at the end of September. We usually go to Duluth for our anniversary and that was my goal when we went this year.
I tried on a large t-shirt at swapkins! It fit just was a wee bit tight in the shoulders.
It feels great to be able to sit in any restaruant booth I want to. I even request a booth now, it is more intimite.
I bought a wii fit and I tried it out today for 45 minutes and love it!
I walk the dog and she is tired before me now!
I am freezing all the time...this may not be a wow but at least it means I am loosing my insulation.
I don't recognize myself. I saw some of the pictures from swapkins and I can just not believe that it is me.
I can wear my sister's clothes and never have been able to do that before.
I am at the lightest I have been since I met my husband. Pretty soon I will be able to wear his shirts!
The best WOW moment though is all my friends I have on here. All the support and love that I have received through this terrific journey. A year ago I would never have just gotten up at 6:30 in the morning to drive to the cities to have coffee just cause I knew I would be with some of the more wonderful people in the world!
So many of you that have been there for me through so many rough times. The past few months have been hard relationship wise and friendship wise. Neil and I have had our issues and so many of you have been there for me. I also lost a really close friendship because of a divorce that has been extremely hard. I will make it! I am finally coming out of my shell. Which is awesome!
I am really afraid of what the next year will bring. I know there possibly will be alot of ups and downs but I know I will make it.
My reward is another tattoo. I just need to call to schedule it and decide for sure what i am going to do.
Love to all!

Anita, your transformation has been nothing short of exciting! Inside AND out, you have changed so much as a result of this whole WLS journey! And although it isn't all easy, it's all good. I know you wouldn't want to go back.
Good to learn who you really are inside, not just who you thought you should be in order for people to like or accept you. We all played that game to some extent...
Good to realize that there is a world outside of Lane Bryant and Catherines!! And that it IS possible to fit in your husband's clothes, even tho you really don't want to wear any of it!
Good to know there are people out there who are capable of loving unconditionally, and learning that we are worthy of that love!
You are so fun, so sweet, and there is just a devilish quality to you that I can't wait to get know better! You know, 'cuz I'm such a church mouse...

Imperfect does not = unsuccessful
Anita- Nice to meet you the other weekend at B'ville coffee. 100LBS is so amazing and all of your fun wows. Hope you share what you decide on your tattoo once you figure it out, and maybe post a picture. Congrats, keep it up!

100 pounds at 6 months girl??? That's FRICKIN' AWESOME!!! I have thoroughly enjoyed watching your transformation...I'm shocked everytime I see you - one of these days' I'm not going to recognize you...oh wait that already happened at the last Burnsville coffee...I couldn't figure out who you were as you were walking in with Neil.
I'm so happy for you and proud of you!!! All you have to do is continue to BELIEVE that good things will happen and they will!!!
Love you my BELIEVE sister!
