Oh my goodness! I can't believe I haven't posted to this thread -- I've looked at it several times, marveling over how good you look, Christi, and I was sure that I had told you that, but see that I haven't.
What a journey it's been, huh? But it's sure been worth it! You look fantastic, and you've done great things for your health as well as your appearance. You are truly an inspiration. Thank you for sharing so much about your recent surgery and all -- it's given me for one some things to think about.
Congratulations on your success, hon. You worked hard for it, and you deserve to enjoy it.
