Just wanted to share the news. 52 pounds and 26 inches. It's been a couple of rough months with some highs mixed in. In April, my oldest brother was diagnoised with lung cancer, 9 to 12 months to live with treatment. On Easter Sunday, my first grandchild was born, a girl: Skylir. She is beautiful.
Slowly the weight comes off, some weeks it goes back on, and I don't let it worry me. I keep looking to the future and know, there will be ups and downs.
5 months later, my grandchild is thriving. Growing like a weed and when she smiles, my heart does flips. But on a sad note, 5 months later, my brother died. This past Sunday. We wake him tonight and bury him tomorrow.
Such large trial and errors, but yet I keep marching forward. The only way I know. I am bound and determined, now, more then ever, to get this weight off and life life to the fullest.
Thanks for letting me write. I still love this forum. It's here alot of us find all the right words, to make our decision a RIGHT one.
Hope everyone has a great day. Live each day to the MAX.
