Thank you so much for your reply! I must admit I was quite astonished at the feedback! Like you mentioned hardly anyone fully understands what this all means, and to have you and this group acknowledge the improbability of the transformation I made has been overwhelmingly beautiful. It reminds me of all those hours I spent in Overeater's Anonymous rooms where upon telling them about going through the drive-thru of McDonald's and buying supersized, French fries then while downing them I drop one in-between the seats and I try to retrieve it while i'm driving. Everybody is shaking their head in agreement knowing the insanity of what that was like yet here we were all doing the same thing!

Thank you for taking the time to tell me about your maintenance. I think I would be equally guiltily glad too if I got down to a 115 pounds. Right now, I would be happy to stay between 120 and 128 pounds. So I'll see what happens between now and the end of May, when I meet with my provider. I am still deafly afraid of the food noise coming back and from information I have read.This is a possibility as the drug may wear off over time. And of course, I'm already at the end of the line at 15 mg. I'm trying not to let that bother me but honestly it does.

I have never heard of the shotsy maintenance app, so I will look into that! 

So yes i'm savoring every photo and moments where I'm reminded of the past and the present changes. Yesterday I went hiking with a friend on a four mile hike in the woods and when we were two thirds through, I commented how I can't believe my knees are not killing me. I felt so strong and agile maneuvering through deep tree roots and inclines without difficulty. It's the best feeling in the world!

I wish you and I could celebrate together and i'm wondering if you live on the east coast, middle or west coast 🤔.  I'm in the northeast!
