Happy Anniversary to Us!!!!

It's our birthday month everyone.......god can you believe the changes?? I reached the surgery Century Club today.....weighed in at 159.8, down from 260.7 the day of surgery, and 277, my highest weight. My little wow moment recently was on a flight home - I was in seat 8A, and had to walk to the back of the plane for the restroom. I didn't bump a single elbow! How cool/bizarre is that? What's your favorite wow moment of the year? --BT

I don't celebrate till the end of the month but will join in any party I have had some wow moments and they are all favorites ( cause they happened ! ) I guess I could say at this time is that I can cross my legs ! I am amazed every time I do it Sandy

My wow moment is everyone else realizing just how beautiful I am... I've known it all along ........ no just kidding... my wow moment is people mistaking me for my 13 year old daughter... (my mini me) which i dont see it but everyone says she looks just like me... But I think she is much more beautiful..

I almost can't believe the changes! I'm a little disappointed that I didn't make goal in 1 year, but then I wonder what the hell my hurry is. I was in the supermarket the other day and they have a tv monitor that shows everyone leaving. I looked up to see what I looked like and at first couldn't figure out why I wasn't on it. Then I realized I was, I just didn't recognize myself . Micha

Haha!!! That's funny! And you've got plenty of time to make goal. You're doing well so far, and I've seen some continue to lose on to 24 months out. Just have to make sure that you watch your behaviour, and make sure you're staying on track. I'm not at goal either - I still have another 30lbs or so to lose. Funny thing - every calculator shows my goal weight as 118, but if you go to the BMI calculator, I think it's like 128-132 puts me at a BMI of 25, so I'm not sure what my goal weight should be. I'm aiming for 130 as pre-plastics (so 29.8 pounds to go). If I lose at the same rate I've lost the last six months, that will take another six, and I'm really not in any hurry to get there.......as replacing my entire wardrobe several times over has gotten expensive. I'm ready to lounge in the same clothes for a month or two. --BT

BT, You look so great !!!!! Just checking out your profile. You look so young and so attractive Keep up the great weight loss Barb

Hey Bt = those airline flights are a real eye opener aren't they!! Congratulations on your awesome weight loss and your success!! We've all come such a long way, been though lots of trials, tears, tummy achs, and triumphs!! We've, some of us, still have a ways to go, and we will get there. We all support each other, have been there done that, or will do it!! It was good to see your post, I've missed you! love donna

Hmmm, my favorite wow moment? There are lots of little ones I never posted cuz well with this surgury doesn't everyone have them? I guess my favorite is still fitting into that size 20 dress becouse that is when it finally sank in "This realy IS going to work it's not another one of those lose n gain games we have all plaid so many times before. I couldn't have made it through this year without each and every one of you , even the ones who don't post but lurk and e-mail. We have such a wonderful family here, Miss Donna , who is like everyones mom and keeps us in line when we need it, pats us on the back when we earn it, give us strenghth with her kind words. And so many other wonderful members. I haven't been on a plane since I was 15. Hugs, Shel
