I always enjoy reading your posts. Whenever I see a 3FC member's success, in some "kindred spirit" sort of way I feel like it's my success too. It really makes me happy to be part of this community. Keep on keepin' on

I feel blessed that I'm on the tall side so that even at my highest, I was told I carried my weight well.
My aunt's jaw dropped back in January when she found what my weight was; I was about 225 at the time and she thought for sure I had to be under 200 by then. And I don't plan on being over 200 for much longer regardless. 
I think I understand the sense of camaraderie you're mentioning, as I've always loved witnessing 3FC's success stories and feel a sense of pride for the members. I first became a member here back around 2004 under a different account and was not only in awe from watching the successes, I knew that I could be a part of it too!

And of course, be my guest on stealing the beads.
