I am so glad you posted this video. I haven't been out here and a while and your words are so timely. I haven't had a loss in almost a month (new for me) which is causing a little anxiety. But you are absolutely right. Thanks for reminding me to enjoy where the new, smaller, healthier me is now! You are so awesome!
Dee this video is amazing. I had to keep looking and looking because you don't even look the same. Your voice doesn't even sound the same. Do we have fat on our voicebox? I love your joy in your newer vids. I'll be banded on 8/16 and I can so relate to you and everything you said.
My name is Dee too. I'm subscribing so keep posting vids.
Dee..this makes me cry!!! I am having surgery sometime after Dec ( 6mo. waiting period) I am gonna steal you idea...I am watching your videos and girl, you look fabulous!!! I am so proud of you, just beautiful, inside and out!
I am exactly a month pre-op now....this video truely hit home..it is so true. I have never ever ever ben able to loose more than 25 pounds on my own....so i will and absolutely am going to cherish and celebrate every pound more from then on,,,
Thank you so much for posting this video. I am 1 year 5 months out from surgery and feeling really down about my weight loss. I know that I need to refocus, but something always holds me back - back pain, then I recently fell and hurt my knees - something - like my self-sabotaging. I don't know you but I am so proud of you. Your videos really help. Thank you.
this was such a GREAT idea, I wish I had thought of doing something like this back then *sigh*
I'm definitely struggling with this "I'm not appreciating my progress" mentality. I'm down almost 100 lbs & I haven't really celebrated any of my losses because I feel like I still have SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO far to go.
I'm gonna BE HAPPY, because I've never lost 100 lbs or even 50 lbs on my own - I love it - thanks :o)
What an Awesome Idea! My daughter just brought this to my attention, about not being happy with the 88 lbs I have lost, and sulking because I have been stalled. Thisi s her perspective, & it really hit me & helped me rejoice in what I have accomplished & love where I am now, & focus on that. So, Thank you so much for putting in video form. You are an amazing person. My daughter is just starting her journey and is Rainydays16, having RNY on July 1st. I"ve e-mailed her to watch you videos!
Girl, that is one of the best videos EVER! Thank you! You were gorgeous even then and you are simply glowing now! Love your channel and I am thrilled that I am on this journey and less than 10 pounds from goal! Its hard to wrap my head around it sometimes! ~~ hugs~~ sherri

WOW! How amazing to see how far you've come. I'm so proud of you. How great that you can look at these with your new "thin" self - do you feel the pride? I can see a little of your bubbly personality here but you've really blossomed in your most recent videos! HUGS ~Ann-Marie
