((((((((((Amy)))))))))) Its posts like yours that bring light to the

darkness that obesity hangs over us all. I am so absolutly thrilled that

you didnt have the RNY (that was providence!) and that you got your DS and

just look at your stats now! Wow......from 301 to 175 and fitting into

baggy size 16s! I can see life is grand for you now as it is for so many of

us.

Hugs, Judie

Amy-

WOW!!! You are doing so well- congrats in spades!!! I'm thrilled

that you're feeling good about yourself- isn't that the most important

thing? I'm glad you posted.. I've been lurking a lot lately, too.. my

life is a bit hectic, so even if I don't always post it, I'm cheering

for all the great " losers " on this list.. you folks inspire me, too

(I'm 14 lbs away from being -100, & I'm hoping to make it by the

30th.. suggestions, anyone?). I just felt I had to respond to your

letter, because I'm sooo glad for you!

BIG HAPPY HUGS,

Liane =)
