Reflecting on 2017
You are an inspiration to us all. Congrats on all your successes and I'm so glad to hear you are living life the way you deserve. New relationships are so fun and encouraging too. I am so looking forward to 2018 for many reasons. My surgery is booked and my life is changing. I plan on taking the reins and going for the ride of my lifetime and I'm sure I will be smiling the entire time!
Happy 2018 to all my new friends in this journey. May it be great for everyone!

It's amazing how life gets better when we decide to make things happen! One of my favourite quotes is "Nothing happens until you decide" It looks like you are making good decisions!! I am so happy for you. It was a great day when out paths crossed and it is so good to be apart of your journey. I may not check in here as often as I do the Facebook groups but I am so happy that you are always on the HOT list!
Congratulations! Keep doing what you are doing cause you are doing great!

Great post and good luck with the new relationship. 2017 was a year of immense change for me. I had surgery on January 12, moved to a new home (new to us) in June after 9 years at the old place, my company moved to a new building in another city- I?ve been there for 15 years and we got a new van after having the old one for 8 years. We still have it but feel very fortunate we can have 2 vehicles now. And I also started a 2nd career as a Pampered Chef consultant.
As of today I?m down 130 lbs and 30 lbs away from my goal. I can?t wait to see what 2018 holds out for me!
RNY Jan 12, 2017 Lost 137 lbs but regained 60.
77 lbs lost and counting!
Losing the regain! I got this!
