Anyone else but the folks here would think I was nuts, but as of yesterday my BMI is no longer in the "morbidly obese" range!!! WOWIE!!! The last time I weighed this little was well over 20 years ago. I have a waist and a collar bone... True, I have a ways to go and I am by no means thin or even "average", but I am NO LONGER MORBIDLY OBESE. Not only that, but I can wear heels again and even dance in them!! Hugs to all of you...Jo

Congratulations! These lines of obesity don't mean squat to anyone except those of us who have a weight problem. I to weigh less now than I did 20 yrs ago, it feels so good don't it? I cherished the moment I went from Morbidly Obese to just Severely Obese... Now I'm looking for that next lil milestone from Severely Obese to just Obese... on 6/10 of a bmi point away! h & p's

Not a silly distinction.... and not nuts at all.... that is wonderful.... it is the reason we have undergone a surgical procedure.... to wipe that word "morbid" from our charts... we don't want death associated with our weight..... that is wonderful..... congratulations! b

Hi Jo, Congratulations !!!!! Way to Go you are doing great. It was great seeing you at the picnic in Martinez. I had such a great time at that gathering! I think I need to plan a trip to Santa Rosa soon!! I think the kids would love to go to Bodega Bay to the beach too!! I'll contact you when this trip comes to life so we can get together and enjoy a glass of wine!! Take Care and Enjoy!!!!! ~Summer

Hey Summer... Thanks for being in touch. It's great to hear from you as always. I'd love to see you anytime you're up this way. I did get in touch with your friend Scott who's moving to Windsor. He seems entertaining and I'll clue him into all the local stuff. Nice to meet your gorgeous family too. You take care as well, Jo

WTG!!! Nice work, I'm so happy for you. It is a wonderful feeling I know. I'm still considered overweight but that's just fine with me. Not being MORBIDLY Obese is just fabulous. Gives you a new lease on life! Keep up the good work. I know you have more to go but we will all reach our goals eventually. So have fun while you wait. Enjoy every little wow moment that comes along, like your having a waist and collar bone. There will be many more good things to come. God Bless, ~Angel 255/222/144/118
