Hi, Pattye.
How fun to get a letter from my fat cells! I love that. Yep, they're gone for good! And most of the rest are on their way OUT! Thanks for seeing ahead for me. :)

Congratulations to Mary!!
I think you are doing a fantastic job!!! You are an inspiration to many others! We Okies are proud to claim you as "one of our own" ! Stay warm! ~Lisa ~

Thanks, Lisa. I wasn't so sure I would be welcomed as an Okie, but y'all sure have. [Oops! My southern came out!] :)

You numbers are great to me. You didn't gain all that weight over night and it will not all go over night either. You are rocking your new tool and your body is losing at a great rate for YOU!

Thanks, Momma H.
I'm tempted to compare my loss with others who had surgery near my date, but I'm really trying not to do that. I know we're all different, and it's so true that the weight came on gradually, so it will go off the same. I am hoping for the losses to come more quickly, though. Just being honest. :)
Blessings,

Mary,

You are doing fantastic.  I also took my measurements at the beginning but have never gone back and remeasured.  Take it from someone who has been hanging around at the same weight for over 3 months, you should be proud of your progress.  Take care and stay warm.

Hi, Kim.
I've been wondering how you're doing. I can't imagine how hard this has all been for you. I know that once you're back to "working your tool" (as they say), the weight is going to drop off you.
Take your measurements, as it's encouraging, especially if you're in a stall (I mean, body adjustment). :)
There were 5 of us at our first Winfield LIGHT (Losing Inches, Getting Healthy Together) Support Group meeting. It was fun, and with the small number, everyone shared quite nicely. :) We do hope you will be able to come the 2nd Sat. in January, at 2:00 p.m. We had a couple from Nickerson, KS come, which was nice.
Thanks for your kind words.
Blessings,
Mary

It has definitely been challenging.  I'm still in the hospital waiting on a 3rd gallium scan to see if we can find the source of the infection that I keep getting.  They think it is my stomach, so if it is, I am curious to see what they are going to do about it.  I feel so much better and am eating way more than I have been able to so far.  I should be good to go for the January session, so I am going to plan on being there.
