Today was the BIG DAY! I am a looser...lol a 100 lb + looser

Today was my final Heart and Wellness Class for the program. I did step one and then step two. This has been on going since April 08 and now I am finished. I still have the once a month support group, and a weekly visit to info classes for 8 weeks for an hour and a half. It is bitter sweet. I feel like I lost my "blankie" and am going to be lost though I know I can do this without the program b/c I am determined. I have made this a healthy lifestyle change and will stick to this forever. I plan to drop more lbs and will see them for a follow up visit every six weeks. I still have a "lifeline so that makes me feel good. I got a graduation t-shirt and a pin that says I am a looser...lol then on the bottom it says 100+ lb club. I put it in my pink breast cancer bag and now can not locate it. I know I can get another one. I made a speech and talked about (holding back the tears) how much easier life is with 100lbs off the body. I won't go into it but I had 4 others who are early in the program come up to me and say they really feel modivated b/c of my positive attitude. This one gal said that when she would see me at the monthly support groups she thougth that I brightened up my group...That made me feel good. She asked to be with my group b/c she liked the way I was but she was not at that time frame so could not. I then met her at BABW and she was like oh u r from H and W and now I can see why you are such a joy...lol Her daughters still say to her lets go see that lady from ur group. She went Sunday and they were sad I was not there...; ( So I am now able to say I am a graduate of the H&W program....it was 8 long months but not really when you think about it. I am determined and I am off to the gym after this post...Yes I did do much exercise this morn but I gotta get some more in before I have to p/u Stephen from driving school and get Ry to Lax. Off I go to get those miles in on the treadmill to work up to the 20 a day that I will need for the breast cancer 3 day.....
