One year ago today, I was given one year to live if I didn't get a lot of my extra weight off me in a hurry. It's only 6:40pm, but I'm hoping I'll live until Midnight.

Just thought I'd share that huge milestone with my family here. I'll Celebrate with an extra long workout tomorrow morning! And a cup of decaf coffee!!

Thank the god above for that ! U r such an amazing person who helps tonnes of us all day long!

That's amazing!!! The scare worked apparently! You are still here with us! YAY! Thanks for sharing

TJMom, You do what you can do where you're at right now. You will get out of that wheelchair permanently! Patience and perseverance are the keys. Please keep me up to date on your progress!

Frumpy, Thank you! But, everyone here helps me every day, too! It's a circle. The more I give, the more I get.

I am so happy for you! A bit harsh I think since we really can't predict one's demise...but if that chat got you thinking then it was worth it! Keep rocking that sleeve...you are definitely an inspiration to me!

Pip, I was already considering WLS, but that conversation made it something real instead of an abstract idea in my head. There's nothing like knowing you have to save your own life to make you do what you should, hmmm?

It's now 11:53 pm.

So glad to have you still here Lissa! I'm a newbie, and your posts have been so helpful and inspirational to me.
