Kathy -

I pulled up the two pictures in two different windows on my computer and my mouth dropped open. You're a different person and you should be so proud of your accomplishments. I LOVE that you take your pictures in front of your mantel with what looks like your son's picture looking on. Your family must be so proud of you also.

Way to go!!

love the pics too!!

Keep it up!

I am in awe of all of the support I have received, I honestly could not do this alone and all of you give me a little peice of what I need to go forward with this journey.

We are on this road to healthy and thin together, although there are people ahead of us and behind us on the road, we all walk the same road and are heading to the same destination.

I truly consider you all great friends and have true affection for each and every one of you!!!

Thanks again!!!

HI Cathy,

Sorry that I didn't respond earlier, I was without a computer for a month.

Here is my response, "HURRAY" you look so different, where did the bottom of you face go? LOL.

I always like to read the encouragment that you give to others, it inspires me to hear what you tell them, you are losing the weight very quickly from the way I see it. Keep being kind to yourself and keep you a priority.

Hugs, Barb

Thanks Barb, you are such a sweetie!!

I must admit up to now, it's been easy. Feels like 60 lbs just dropped off...now the work starts to keep it going!!
