Here is to us - Raise your glasses

Hello All,

Can you believe that it is almost the end of year already? I have been on leave for a week now and have achieved more in the past two days then I did the past 7. I am not sure if I will be using my computer over Christmas. To be honest I use it all of the time and I am finding that sometimes I prefer to have it off especially at the moment. With that in mind I wanted to take this opportunity to thank you all very much. It has certainly been a wonderful year for me. I do have a small feeling though that next year has the potential to be even better.

I feel confident that everything I have relearned this year will put me in good stead for whatever happens next year. I do plan on continuing my blog but I think that next year it will have a different feel. You will have to wait and see what I am talking about.

I want to also thank you all for your undying support. It has really amazed me that so many people can come together and support someone that they didn’t know. To best honest it fees like the Big John Challenge was a lifetime ago. I never really hear from him anymore and I wonder what he is up to. If he ever reached the goals that he wanted to or even went down the surgery route as he was thinking of doing. Whatever he is doing though I do wish him and his family well.

Thank you for putting up with my whinging and whining and for laughing along with me.

If you could all please stand and raise your glasses (water of course), I would like to toast a great year and all of you for making it so!

Here is to us and "see" you all next year!

Merry Christmas!

What a year you have had - quite life changing in a number of ways I guess, but what a fantastic inspiration you have been.

I am proud to toast to you (in water of course) for the humour and amazing honesty you have shared with us of the trials and tribulations, and achievements in your incredible journey. I look forward to continuing to travel with you via your blog through what ever 2008 may bring you.

You are an amazing young woman Shell, doing amazing things. Keep up the good work, and please keep blogging.

Have a wonderful Christmas, and I know 2008 is going to be a special year for you.

Thank you Michelle for sharing with us, over the last year or so, and giving us a wonderful blog to read. Firstly with the challenge, and then with just being you and your thoughts on everyday issues. We look forward to your blog next year and anticipate what the new 'feel' to the blog may be. To you and your family have a wonderful Christmas and a happy and healthy New Year. May all your wishes come true.

Merry Christmas,
I have read your blogs since I heard you on Mix. I have been impressed by your honesty during the whole process. I hope you can continue your weight lose journey & look forward to reading about it. There are certainly times when it is difficult & easy to lose your way. But in the end it will be all worth it. Are you still going to Flames?
PS. Your kitten is very cute.
