No one who knows better said it would be easy.  6 years ago I had open RNY after weighing in at about 430.  Today I weighed in at 188.  I'm still losing albeit slow (I'll take what I can get).  I have long regarded Valleyfair as a measurement beyond the scale.  I love rides but went through almost half my life where I didn't fit on the best rides.  In a way Valleyfair was a motivational tool for me...so much so that the tatoo I got was symbolic of the journey.

I got to go to Valleyfair three times this year...the most I've ever gone in one season.  It's been a great "ride" and I hope that next year you will join me to celbrate my 7th year.  ASK FOR IT OFF NOW baby!!!!!!
