Yey, Dana! Keep fighting the good fight! The hardest thing about maintaining is learning to work through all the emotions, and stressful BS without turning to food. Hats off to a really strong woman! It's been fun playing in the "sandbox" with you!

Congratulations, Dana - you are an awesome role model and an inspiration to us all (especially since you are wearing a bra AND had a clean mirror) !

It doesn't seem like nine years, I remember when you first joined OH, all those years ago. Congratulations on your success and keeping up the good fight, it is all we can do until we declare the war over. Some day I will probably die fat, but not quite yet.
