Kris, Congratulations on reaching your goal!!!! That is so great--

you & your husband will have to find a special way to celebrate your

achieved goals--your weight & his sobriety---well, i guess

celebrating life is the best way to do it--because now you both have

a life!!! Wishing you both continued success in your journey.

down 60lbs as of 061201

> I hit the goal that Dr. Maguire determined was my " ideal " weight.

Yesterday I weighed in at 147 (136 pounds gone) and today at 146.

Kinda neat that it happened yesterday, as it was also 's (DH) 10

year anniversary of his sobriety. So, my smart a** brother said, oh

cool -- you guys can go out and celebrate each year with drinking

lotsa alcohol and eating lotsa food -- ha! ha! Really -- he's

thrilled for us!

Maguire for giving me my life back with very few complications. And,

thank you to all of my great friends who are with me on this

journey. I'm so happy . . . for all of us who are already switched,

praying for those who are still having a hard time with

complications, and so excited for those of us who will be switched

and wishing you the VERY best! Life is grand!!!!!

Kris,

That is fabulous news and must be a fantastic feeling! I just sit

here and shake my head thinking of ever weighing that low. I

think...hmmm, I weighed 132 in 5th grade...no way can I get to even

150 as an adult...but I sure hope I proove my doubts wrong!
