Hi Ellen,

I'm so sorry, I just saw that my response from before didn't post. I'm doing great, between 8-18 pounds away from my ideal weight for my height according to Dr. McVay, but if I choose I could lose more. So, that's exciting. I've lost 87 pounds so far. My birthday is coming up on the 23d so my parents are flying in for 2 weeks...they arrive this coming Wednesday, I can't wait!!

Thanks so much! It's never too late to start the pictures. They are GREAT for inspiration especially those weeks when the scale isn't showing much movement. I hope your holidays were great! have a very happy new year.

Thanks so much! I haven't had a moment to post any more pictures but I will. I hope your holidays were wonderful!!

That's great! Thanks, my christmas was wonderful. I got more than I could have ever asked for... in both gifts as well as the quality time with my family which I so very much wanted. I hope your holidays were wonderful. My mom says to say hi! She asks about you and wishes you well. I'm currently in Boston...freezing to death! Yesterday it was 5 degrees. Way too cold for me. I'm back in sunny (and slightly warmer) CA this weekend.

Thanks so much Ellen! Richard has been wonderful with taking my photos each week. I am so proud of myself, but it's not easy as you know. But I am so very happy!! How are you doing?

It was great seeing you today. Best of luck!!

Thanks! Actually my primary care cancelled my surgery the night before and Dr. Quilici rescheduled it for tomorrow (7/9). So I am headed to the hospital at 6am tomorrow. Yay!! How are you doing? Hope you are feeling well.

Hi Marissa,

Thanks for the note. Hope you have a great birthday! So sorry we'll miss each other again. I actually may not make it myself to tomorrow's meeting. I've got appointments booked all day. My surgery is next Tuesday, July 7th at 9:30am. I can't wait!! I had my nutrition class today...I was the only one with a date of the 7th. everyone else was scheduled further out - most were almost 2 weeks out.

Anyway, hope all is well. Talk to you soon.

Andrea
