Cathy, you are so pretty. And I commend you for losing the weight. I know several people who have done this with miracle stories like yours. I lost just 30 lbs a couple years ago with diet and a new exercise routine, and I know what you mean about the confidence booster. Way to go for you. And thanks for checking back in. I'm still plugging along with all the hardware!!!
I'm inspired that you report things have settled nicely for you. I hope I have the same type of results. Great to hear from you.

Hi Catgyrl,
You look great! Good to hear from you and Klobird again. You were two of the regulars when I was starting and I enjoyed following your posts.
It is great that getting braces also helped inspire you towards weight loss too. I could do with losing 15-20 pounds. I am scheduled to be debraced on 22 July. It would be great to think that I could get rid of my brace and my flab before my birthday in August.
