And Ive never felt better! My hubby is loving the extra curves also:) Thank you all for your positive support! I know we all have our good days and our bad but we all have eachother to push through!

Hey pat were actually going to walt disneyworld in Florida. I've been to Disneyland in ca once and it was really cool. I'm the biggest kid in my family! I guess I like going because you can leave the cares of the world behind and just be a kid again for a few days! Lol. Looking forward to coming back though, I'll be a month clean when I get home. Woohoo! :)

Congratulations!! You sound so positive and uplifting, keep up that attitude and you will continue to beat this demon.  I too lost allot of weight, but i looked good, not my face but i was in shape, even in rehab i continued to lose weight, but now it came back on, and then some.. I tend to blame the dryer:-)  Keep up the good work, and be proud of yourself.

Hey Mama! Congrats on the 2 months, 6 days! That is a major accomplishment! Well, every day is, isn't it? I totally understand the weight thing! When I first started using, I needed to lose about 10 lbs. Well, I lost about 25 in the year and 1/2 that I was using! Then, during detox and withdrawals I lost nearly 10 more lbs! I looked awful! I found out that there is such a thing as being too thin! I'm doing better now, and I've put back on a few lbs, but I still could stand to gain a few more! I'm working on it, but I still don't have much of an appetite!

Best wishes to you! Keep moving forward!! Great job so far!
