HURRAY!! I AM OBESE!!!

I finally got over my 3 weeks of not losing and weight myself this AM and was down another 5 lbs, so i am now down to 216, hey only 4 more lbs and i am in the half century club. with my weight of 216 that puts me at a BMI that is at the top scale of the 'obese' category, but hey, i will take it. i am sitting here laughing at myself cause I lost 5lbs. lol. I am glad i have resolved to weigh myself only 2x a month. at least this way I wont get as disappointed, i hope. take care everyone

Hee hee, you make me laugh. I'm obese too and proud of it! I feel like wearing a shirt that says something like, I may be obese now, but I WAS morbidly obese yesterday!

That is a fantastic attitude.maybe on the back of the shirt you can also have it say "and baby wait till ya see me tommorow",keep up the good work.

You betcha!! It's amazing that jeans I bought 3 weeks ago are already too big for me! This is WONDERFUL!!! Take care, Kristen

Way to go Heather! That is awesome! I think I need to do what you are doing and only weigh myself 2x a month. I am so ready to throw the damn thing out the door some mornings. I just sit there and say "do you realize I only eat a 1/4 of what I used to eat and you are sitting at the same weight day after day". Anyway, keep up the great work! Just be patient, trust me I know how hard it is, I really do, but we all have come a long way! ~~Eileen~~

throw that scale away or take it somewhere (any new friends in San Diego yet?) and keep it at their house. Or have your husband take it to work and only bring it home every other week. My husband and I weigh in twice a month at the bariatrics office that we went thru to have surgery. I am refusing to buy a scale, even though now I can USE a regular scale since I'm under 300lbs!! But I have seen a lot of people on here get stressed out by weighing themselves daily. Take care and take a hammer to the scale! Love ya! Kristen

I started out super MO and now I am just MO and I am thrilled! Congrats! to you!

I have to laugh reading these posts because it sounds just like me. Last week I was so excited because I was severely obese. It was exciting because I started out as morbidly obese. (I really do hate that word morbid and mentioned it to my dr and his nurse). But the great news is I will NEVER be morbid again. I can't wait until I am obese! LOL. Keep up the good work! - I had Lap RNY on 11/4/03.
