I'm "Overweight"!!!!

GOOOOOOOOOO, CYNDI!!!

Thanks April! Every morning when I get tired during the walk I remember my stalls and then I remember that I'm totally losing my butt. That's all the incentive I need! * Cyndi *

Congrats Cyndi! That is awesome! I can't wait to join you- I'm about 11lbs away. Just want to be there by November. Keep up the great work! Kathy

Thank you Kathy! I'm 5'8" so my top "normal" weight is 161. lol Less than 30 lbs. until I'm "normal". I don't quite see me as "normal" and I'm sure not going to stop at 161. I'm gonna celebrate and have TWO SF fudgsicles during GH tonight. Can't wait to celebrate with you!!!! Keep up the great work! * Cyndi *

Congrats Cyndi! It must be amazing to know that you're out of obesity, what a thought! Hope you got to see those 180's today I hit the overweight mark at 173 lbs. I hate being short

Thanks Chantal! I was 188.3 this morning. These 3.5 mile walks are finally starting to help. You'll get to "overweight" in no time! My family couldn't figure out why I was so happy until I showed them the BMI calculator. I'm happy I make them laugh at my weight-loss lunacy. * Cyndi *

Cyndi, I'm glad to hear that you are overweight. Read that sentence again...did you ever think that you would love to hear that from anyone in your life? If I had said that to you a year or two ago, you probably would have at least been tempted to slap me up good....LOL. Good job. John

I don't know John. After having all my diagnoses read "morbidly obese" even if I had bronchitis, hearing I'm overweight is just fine with me! lol But, then, I'm a little bit warped anyway. I emailed my skinny mom yesterday and she was so excited. I was even happier when my surgeon told me I'm ahead of his schedule. Woohoo! He told me if I decide to up my walks to 5 miles a day I have to get an okay from my orthopedic surgeon. LOL I've avoided my orthopedic surgeon because of my weight. Did you know that walking up and down stairs puts 3X your body weight on your knees? Crap, no wonder so many overweight people have knees that are shot!!! So, I really can't wait to see him because I'm not putting 795 pounds on them. I'm *just* putting 564 pounds on them now. LOL At least he can't give me the "you HAVE to lose weight!" speech now. * Cyndi *
