Hello my friends! I want to thank all of you from the bottom of my heart, for just being here! Today I weighed myself. I am 100.6 lbs lost in 7 months and 4 days. I am so excited and scared all the same time. I don't understand why scared, I guess I can chalk it up to the extreme change in me. I have learned a lot about myself and others through my journey so far. To all of you new comers don't worry about if it is working, it is just have faith that the surgery is going to do what it is intended to do. You worry about all the other, eating right, exercise and keeping a level head.

I am going to treat myself to a new computer today! Yeah!
May you all know the peace, health and love!

Altheia: That's a really amazing accomplishment, and a new computer seems to me to be a suitably great reward. As far as scared goes....It's a little intimidating--our own greatness--when we first start to glimpse it--all the awesomeness that you've been hiding. Just keep faith that you're strong enough to handle it, and you have us to encourage you. Go girl!
