First thing you need to do . . . just take a deep breath and understand that some folks don't understand, they don't know where we are , and where we are coming from. I've discovered if I face the pain head on, then it doesn't hurt so much. I was walking my dog the other day and there were a few teenaged punks playing…

Congratulations! Just think of what you have done for your health! You have helped your body regain its natural ability to do what it is supposed to do . . .and that is awesome. Also, below 200 . . . that is something that I look forward to. Have a great day and congratulations, keep it up.

I think every five pounds would be a good idea. I would suggest pedicures, manicures, major milestones such as 25, 50 or making it below a certain number . . .something bigger, like a massage, night at a bed and breakfast, new hairstyle, etc. I think anything that makes you feel beautiful would be a great reward.

Hey, don't give up! Drink more water and find something to do, every little bit helps. Hope the kitties settle in well.

Wow! I thought just sticking to walking the dog was pretty impressive. It reminds me that I'm going to have to start kicking it up a notch to get results. Thanks for the reminder and enjoy your easy day.

Thank you all!

Thanks Chris

I just joined today and came across your story and I found it hilarious, yet so inspirational at the same time. You made such a wonderful point about by making one change another happened that made such a huge difference for your family. Thanks for making me laugh and making me cry . . . it gives me hope that I'll be doing…
