Tanya, I would have to say there are many best. Bests so far, hearing people say"Oh my God is that really you, you look fabulous!", Seeing their expressions on their faces when they first see me. Being able to fit into a size 8 jeans, I would have never thought it possible. Being able to jog for 1 mile. Best, Best is no longer being diabetic or having morbid obesity health related issues. Worst is sometimes fearing this will come to an end and I will wake up from this wonderful dream come true. Blessings to all of you on your journey

Hi Michele, I'd be interested in attenting your group....I'm in Murrieta so just next door let me know Deb

best: having my blood pressure taken at doctor's office with a "normal" size cuff and it being normal pressure best #2: being able to wear regular misses size clothes instead of plus sizes worst: people that I told about surgery still not commenting on my weight loss after having lost 84 lbs. worst #2: my mind still thinks I can eat a lot more than I do, at times I still cook and shop for the old me and through out a lot of food. Thanks for the thought provoking question. Carol Beck

Lady A.. Don't get discouraged. We will get there.. I started at a very high weight too. 362 I finally made it to the 100 lb loss mark just this month. We all lose at a different speed. But I believe if we just keep doing what we are suppose to be doing the weight will come off in time. I am now at 263 and I still have over 100 more lbs to lose before I get to my goal. But.. I know I'll run into plataues and the scale will not move as fast as others sometimes. I just keep coming back here to this website and encourage myself to keep going -- eventually we will get there. When I first ventured into this I was told the average is 100 lbs in one year. It's only been 8 month (June 28th will be) and I've made it to the 100 lb mark so.. It gives me hope and satisfaction that I have been able to do that in less than the 12 months I was prepared to wait. Hang in there. and stick with your program... We will get to our goals eventually. Just think of how long it would take if you did not have the surgery... Barbara Watts Citrus Heights, CA 363 start 263 now 135 -145 goal

Surgery day = 248 Today = 147 Loss = 101 Very Happy!!!!
