I am FREAKING NORMAL!!!!

Congratulations, keep up the good work Christie

Thank you Christie! This is a journey for life and it is my intent to embrace this journey all the way *hugs* Gigee

CONGATULATIONS!!!!!!! I know that you have had many trials both pre and post surgery -- but you made it!!! I am dancing on air for you (see the twinkle toes?) "Twisted"

Pretzel!!!!!!!! Where have you been hiding!!! And thank you! I feel so good. And get this! Though I have not gotten it yet. My son assures me, that my Christmas present will be here in time for when the weather warms up a tad. A Bicycle! I can't wait to try it out I may be crying for tips in the near future lol. So wonderful to hear from you!!!! Gigee

Gigee, WOW!! Freaking normal. You should be so proud. Carnegie Hall, How awesome is that girl. WOW. You are my new princess hero. Size 16 dress, expensive, nothing but the best for the princess. GO Gigee!!!! Now if we can catch the right frog for you. MMMMMM. I gladly have gone from a BMI of 66.6 super obese to 34.7 obese. From a size 30 to a 12. Finally on Monday I broke the 200 lb mark on my scale. Today I am at 195. Wow I didn't know that bilateral knee replacement would help my scale go down. I tried to get the surgeon to add an extension to my knees, but he said it'd look funny to have stretched out knees. It would have pumped up the BMI numbers to be a little taller. I'm only 5'3". I envy you tall princesses. If I never loose another pound I know I'm a princess too. Will I ever get to normal, I dunno. You and Deb are the best. See you both soon. ((HUGS)) Elissa

Hi Gigee, Congrats to you! You worked hard and you look fantastic. Enjoy Carnegie Hall, I'll be thinking of you. Best wishes, Deb

Hi Gigee, Congratulations on your weight loss and your Carnegie Hall gig! I understand the feelings of being in a plateau because I too was in one but I think that getting in more protein, drinking lots of water and exercising everyday has finally gotten me out of my slump. Where did you get your scale because I'd like one? I was looking for one that measures body fat too but I'm sure that might be pretty expensive. We have come a long way since this time last year because I too wore a 30/32 post op. I think we should all be proud of ourselves and continue to take good care of ourselves because for so long most of us have been caregivers to others and have neglected ourselves but now we are always looking for ways to improve our health and we still help each other by encouragement . Take care of yourself and hope to see some of your pics in that fine dress! Prycey Lady AKA Carol Pryce RNY 2/2/05
