Am I the only one?

well I will not say I am glad I am not the only one. But I am glad to see the support out there. It can be hard to be almost a year and still have a 2 in the #. But I think that by Jan 12 (my one year) I may be just under that 2 Jenn

Jenn, I started at 386 and I'm at 232 at my last "official" weigh in. I thought I was the only one still over 200 almost a year out! Thanks for posting this question. Now I don't feel alone. Rhonda -154

You are definately NOT the only one. So far I have lost 125 pounds but I am still in the 200s; 259 to be exact! I was beating myself up recently because someone who haven't seen me in a while said that there was something different about me and I enthusiatically stated that I had surgery. She said when a month or two ago and I said no, almost a year ago and she said, "oh". That made me feel really bad because to me I look great and feel even better but to other people I am still a "big fat pig." I had to make up in my mind that is there cross to bare; not mine. But I want to send you an encouraging word that the only one in this race is you. Wear your blinders and don't look around at others. Run your own race and in the end when you can look in the mirror and give yourself a wink you will be the real winner. Take care all of you losers and keep up the good work.

Well let me tell you, you look great. Your post made me feel better, I like you think I look great, but on occasion reality slaps me in the face and I have to accept that despite it all I am still obese. But you know what for the first time in my life, I do not care. I know I have a final destination and I am enjoying the trip to it. Even at 217 I feel sexy, cute, pretty, all the things I never did before. I guess thats what matters. And again let me say, you do look great. Jenn
