Even if I'm not the first to say it, Happy second anniversary, Lori Bell, as you celebrate your third Fourth of July on plan.

Yep, you're in that infamous 5%.

May you have 39 more anniversaries...and then 39 more after that.

Thank you for posting this =)

First of all... CONGRATULATIONS! I can only imagine how proud you must be!

It really sends a jolt through me. I see you around the boards, living your life, doing your thing, and it's very ... I'm not sure I have the right words... comforting? I think "Look at Lori Bell, lost the weight, keeping it off daily just like everyone, and she's living it. Truly living it."

Thank you for sticking around And, again... CONGRATULATIONS!

You are a wonderful example of what a person can accomplish when they are determined to reach a goal. I am SO happy for you!

The other thing that happens when one loses that much weight is that one's character changes... a person realizes they have what it takes to reach a difficult goal. You have thrown away all the old rationalizations we all tend to use for not being able to lose weight and you stuck to your plan no matter what.

Enjoy the new YOU for the rest of your life!

Thanks again everyone! I'm so stoked today that I'm pretty sure I'll be able to pass up the smores tonight!

hehe, saef. I saw the Pharmacist a few days ago and thought of that!

We are taking our oldest son to NYC in a few weeks as a graduation gift...I'll wave to you from the Statue of Liberty!

Congratulations on your second anniversary Lori! You are amazing. You are truly living the life that many of us aspire to. And you have given me something to think about with the sugar thing.

To think that you lost more weight than most entire people; that's just extraordinary. To think that you're keeping it off is truly remarkable. Congratulations, and thanks for being such a shining example.
