|  Victory times four !!!!
Ok, this valentine is indeed feeling victorious!  I've got 4 victories to share, they just all happened together: 1. I've finally lost 50 pounds!  2. I'm now over half way to my goal!  3. I'm off my blood pressure medication, and I now have a normal blood pressure! 
4. And finally ..... ONEDERLAND !!!!!!!!!!!!!! 
Well, all this happiness came at a price today . . . I saw my General Practitioner today for a bladder infection (MAJOR UGH!!) . . . and I've been feeling like hell for the past few days, no appetite, so I guess that's how the last few pounds finally came off (I hope they don't come back when my appetite does!). My doctor weighed me, 199, YES! Blood pressure was normal, YES! So I was feeling lousy and happy at the same time, lol.
Now that the medications have kicked in, the bladder spasms have slowed down, so I'm not having the horrible pain when I "pee" anymore. UGH I hate UTI's!  But once this agony is over, I can celebrate my victories! Still feeling a little lousy right now, gonna go celebrate with a nap. But I was excited enough to stop by and share my weight loss victories with my valentine family here! 
**Warm Hugs**

Congrats you two! That is so absolutely stupendous. Must be almost as good as winning the lottery.
Hope you start feeling better soon.

Thank-you everyone!  Ezma, I don't know if it's as good as winning the lottery, but it sure feels close. I'm honestly amazed I have come this far in this amount of time, it beats everything I'd hoped and dreamed for when I was still thinking of getting the band.  Quote:

GET IT GIRL! Go ahead do a dance for us, lol.
On the UTI front, keep drinking that water...drink it as though you could never have enough. Oddly enough, I found he alka seltzer helped me with the pain when having to tinkle.

Congrats on Onederland! What an accomplishment! I have 23 lbs to go and can hardly wait!
Hang in there and get plenty of rest to get over the UTI, glad the meds have kicked in.
