I got a 2

I have a 2 in my weight I am finally (though barely) under 300lbs. Woo Hoo. I can weigh myself on the grocery store scale now. That is my silly little goal Jenn

RIGHT ON, JENN!!!!! Ain't it great. My surgeon came into my room late one night and I was watching the "biggest loser". He asked about the show and what it was all about - obviously, he doesn'****ch much TV - anyway, I explained it all to him and then he said with a bright smile -- Yeah, but you will be the longest loser! Sometimes I lose sight of the fact that this is NOT just another diet to conquer, win, lose and then regain - this is the "secret cure"! A tool for life! Gosh, I'm sooooo happy with my decision to finally have WLS -- aren't you?!? CONGRATULATIONS on the "2s", My Friend!!!! ((((skinny hugs)))) wendyb 302/257 -45

Jen, HONEY listen to me that is NOT A SILLY LITTLE GOAL! That is WONDERFUL! Hey, before surgery, I couldn't even be weighed (the nurse at my dr's office just would simply write OFF THE SCALES on my report...meaning I was over 350)...and NOW I can fit on personal scales at home...although mine aren't moving Anyway CONGRATS I am happy for you! That's a major accomplishment Beth

A goal reached (no matter how trivial it may seem to you or others) is still a goal reached. Therefore it is an accomplishment that should be celebrated! Conratulations girl!

Way to go................. I can't weight to go to my PCP and be able to be weight on there scale in the office. Congrats on the 2's look out 1's here she comes...................Peggy

Not a silly goal! Even my surgeon's scale didn't go above 350...talk about feeling bad about myself. I'm in the office of a *bariatric* surgeon and I'm still a whopping 49lbs more than his scales can hold. I wanted to crawl under a rock and die! Now I weigh at dd's biweekly asthma appointments, all on the same scale. It's a huge deal not to have to weigh on digital scales! Way to go - enjoy it! Melissa 399/307/180

Congratulations! You're doing great. And your goal is not silly. Everyone has something special that will be important to them. I wanted to be able to wear my wedding ring(already sized up once) and I'm wearing it tonight. It might be a little tight, but still..............works for me. I'm a slow loser, so my goals are going to take longer than I expected, but it's a start. And the goal you accomplished today is just one of many that you'll reach too. Dianne

Thanks everyone, it makes me feel great to have people who understand what these goals can mean to us. Jenn

I understand completely! I, too, am looking forward to seeing that "2" again. Congratz!!!!!
