Janie, you are one of the few people on our youtube community that brings me to tears in your videos. They hit me staight in the heart. I am one of the many who have gained weight back. Only 13 pounds but it feels like a million because I never reached goal. You give me courage and a wake up call to change up my life and think I might still be able to do this. Thank you so much for being here for us and being totally truthfull. Hugs.... Cindy
@thethinnerme Cindy.. its never ever too late for us. We can make whatever we want happen..we just have to know what it is that we really want. Regain happens, but that doesn't mean its the end of the story... Go get what you want, girl... I know you can do it...
Thanks for the fine gift of this video.I have been pondering the big change that happened to me last year as the anniversary comes in May. It is difficult not going to work. I am happy to have the opportunities life presented from the extended vacation in Europe with one more thing crossed off my bucket list! Joys continue to the most important; spending time with my dear aunt this year as she was approaching her end of life on this earth. Thursday all of the grandchildren will be with me. Linda
I just love you and am so grateful for your videos, honesty and strength. I cannot wait to meet you in Vegas :) You are such an inspiration and I really appreciate you sharing your life and journey with me and everyone else. OXOXOX
your videos are always so inspiring! i love them and you! i have been discouraged for a while but i hope i am back on track now that i can see a light at the end of the tunnel. thanks for the congrats on my surgery date! love you
Hi Jaine. Wonderful video. You certainly have changed your life. I'm still at the shy, hermit stage. I would love to not be so reserved. Your videos are wonderful.
@robinbirdslife, Hi, Robin! Nice to meet you! It was very hard for me in the beginning to come out of my shell, but the friends I made in the YT WLS community helped prepare me via the internet for the friendships I made in person. Its a long road to travel, with good and bad, but that's what life's about. I wish you all the best!
Aloha Jane! Good to see u! The emotional changes really are a struggle on this journey if not the hardest. Every day is a change and a roller coaster ride. The good, the bad and the stomach teasers...lol You're right though, embrace the change but sometimes change is scarey when these changes can affect your entire future. Another great video! Hope to see you in Vegas!! ~viki
@vkhele Hey girl! I would have to say we've both come a long way, baby! Although I think you've got me beat! lol! Thanks for stopping by! Vegas is right!
How wonderful to see you again!! so glad you have the support you need in this time of change...If we're not changing, than we're staying the same... kinda in a stagnant state, and that is not good! So proud of your success! I can totally relate as far as relationship goes and how my husband likes the change on one hand, but also has insecurities he has to deal with...its a tough situation.
I <3 you, Jane! I have prayed for you so many times. I am sorry you've had your struggles. You are a beautiful, in every way, and kind woman. You've helped me in so many ways. I can relate to you in so many ways. I wish I could make it out to Las Vegas, but my husband has been unemployed since August. So, money is very tight.
I'm so glad you made a video. I've missed you! take care - jenn
@YourWLBuddy Oh, definitely go! There are going to be so many great people there! I was going to go last year but was in the er for emergency surgery so i didn't get to make it so I really want to go this time.
be happy for all the experiences you are witnessing. There are 2 lives for all of us … the life we live and the “unlived” life within us--glad you are doing well and enjoying all the newness in life :)
@MissJanieHere yes!!! small world..defenitely! we were friends for awhile, cuz she moved in with me after I got separated, but then she moved back with her baby's father and I havent seen her since then.... So happy to see you updating, you look great!!
I love you so much my friend .... You will always mean so much to me! Change is a ROUGH road for sure but we are a not a rock. We change inside and out ... dealing with those changes are life adventures we must experience! Growing old without those rough roads before us would surely be so unfulfilling in the end. Live life ... enjoy life ... it is a gift. <3
@winelover215 Tom! I love you so much! From the moment that you did that get active video until now, you have been one of the strongest and most vibrant threads in my life's fabric. I appreciate your friendship more than I can tell you and I just have to thank you for being a constant source of joy.. as long as their is you, bacon and coffee, I know all is right with the world.. :D
I never really realized you were a hermit--I think of you as warm and gentle and deep- and grounded- most of all loved...people want to draw close to a warm acceptance in a cold world--- thank you for being authentic, transparent- and brave to open yourself to so many. I cannot wait to see you in Vegas--please come!
@cabernetqueen oh Sally...I was a hermit for years. Rarely left the house or saw anyone but my family. That is why this change of life has been so hard on everyone. They were not use to me going anywhere with anybody doing anything... its been very hard. All I can do is hold on tight and hope that once the ride is over, I'll still be whole at the end. I think I will. Its just that the rollercoaster ride isn't over for me yet, so its hard to imagine what it will be like when it stops.
Wonderful video Jane...gosh, I know what you are talking about regarding life after surgery...I'm coming up on 2 years post-op and the emotional changes have been never-ending...good and bad. So great to see your update! Take care...
@dawnmarie416 Dawn, that is so very true. It never occurred to me how emotional this journey would be nor the turns it could take us on... but that's life, right? See you soon!
I needed you today more than EVER............ I believe things happen for a reason and you ...today are my reason ! AGAIN .... thank you so much for making this video !
@BandClass101 Aw...so glad that it made a difference to you... I don't know if it helps anyone else, but sometimes, these videos do help me figure myself out... :D
Amazing ............. I have chills so bad ! I cant wait to see you ! The most amazing videos Ive ever seen anyone do ...... REALLY ! I will be thinking about the things you have said and holding your words as close to my heart as I can ..... what an AMAZING ending ! CHILLS .............................. xoxoxox Sheri Burton
@BandClass101 Aw, Sheri! I am so very glad you liked it! I didn't know if I was ever going to do a video again, but if it made a difference for you, then I am very grateful for that.
I have missed your videos SO. So glad to see you're back on here. This was such a beautiful video :) Know that your YT loves you so much. I only pray that your happy times only become brighter and your sad times diminish for you. Love and hugs.
Life is full of up's and downs and even turns my friend!!...my mama use to say that this world is round and life just go's around and around (she said this is spanish) I am sure you have herd it...but what it means that people from year to year live and grow with diff. styles and yet they are the same people (hope I made sense) changing just betters us good for you!!..love ya my friend..can't wait to give you a hug in vegas baby!!...love rosemary
Wow what a Beautiful Video You are just living Life my Friend i Believe Change is a Good Thing you look Amazing i am Sooo Happy for YOU i can't wait to see you again let be Vegas Baby !!!! have a great Weekend love connie :0)
