And I wore a bathing suit! Lost 30 lbs total...what a difference that made! Still have 50 lbs to go...this is a blessing for all of us!

Yeah! That's great!

Good for you! I am writing this poolside as I have my own little NSV...feels good, doesn't it :-)

That's awesome! I haven't been to the beach since dinosaurs roamed the earth & I think I'm too old now to do so but I get happy hearing of other people experiencing joy!

I am pre-op and avoid the beach like the plague. Im really happy for you that you were able to go, and feel good in a bathing suit. I hope I follow in your footsteps:)

Go for it!!! Just started sketching a possible tattoo for myself that seems apropos here.

Excuse the lack of drawing talent...but think this is powerful, and a good reminder for us all that we only get one shot at this life thing...better to learn to live the challenge instead of waiting for clear skies :-)

So true! I doubt that any of us when our time is over will say "if only I had eaten one more Boston cream pie." We only get one shot at this life thing. I for one am ready to start making the most of it.

Just rode a waterslide over the weekend, was too afraid last time we went that I would look like shamu coming down and the splash that would follow, but down 35 pounds and feeling great!
