Default So excited to announce...

that between my pre-op and post-op weight losses, I have officially lost 101 lbs!!

I know some people wouldn't count the pre-op weight loss, but it's part of my journey and I think it should be counted.

I just want to thank you all for your support during this time. There were days I wanted to give up and then I'd get little messages etc and it made me want to keep going.

Umm can I say that that is amazing?? Your pre-op should totally count and it is pretty awesome for you as well! I too can't wait to see your before/after.

You go girl! That's awesome! Those pre-op pounds count just as much, if not MORE. You worked hard for those!

Wow, that is wonderful Paula! Can't wait to see your photos and I'm happy you are feeling better. 100 lbs is my goal, I just can't think beyond that, so it is super inspiring to know someone who has done it.
