I am finally overweight

Hi, I am just over a year post-op and I am happy to say that I am considered overweight with a BMI of 28. I have never been so happy. People keep telling me that I do not need to loose anymore weight. I have 20 more pounds to lose for goal. I feel happy, healthy and still motivated. I workout still with my trainer. I started with him about 5 weeks after my surgery. I think the exercise was the key to my success. I felt that was missing in my life when I was morbidly obese. So in order not to repeat history, I am keeping the exercise forever.........lol. Good luck to all my Florida pals! Just wanted to share my excitement. Hugs, Christine 307/170/150

I rejoice with you. I am just afew weeks post op and would do this again in a heartbeat. I can'twait till nextweek when I can start back at they gym. Itoo agree that exercise will have to be for life for me too! I am proud of your success! Blessings, Tami 210/191/shooting for 115

Hey Tami, You look great in your pic. Are you going to orlando for the OH Convention. If so I will see you there!!!!!! You are off to a wonderful start. Keep up the good work. Hugs, Christine 307/170/150

Congratulations! It's an awesome feeling! I had my surgery in CT 1 1/2 yrs. ago and just recently moved to FL (where nobody knows I'm secretly a fat person!). I've lost 110 lbs. and am now 119 lbs. and a size 6. Never in my wildest dreams did I ever believe I could get there. I always said I'd be extremely happy with a size 10/12. I was eating tuna on crackers the other day at work and someone walked by and said "that's all you're eating, that's why you're so skinny" ... yea ... THAT's why I'm skinny!!! It's kind of fun having the secret! Keep motivated and good exercising! Deb Port St. Lucie, FL

Thanks Debra, I used to live in Conn. also. We moved down here in 1975. So I guess I am a floridian now. We lived in Middletown just outside of Hartford. Are you going to the OH Convention on 6/25 in Orlando. I am driving up. We can have a convoy.........lol. Let me know. Hugs, Christine
