OMG! HUGE Victory!

Today is the first day of my adult life that I am in the normal weight range.  My BMI is 24.1.  I have had a hard time with my surgery history (read my profile for details) but it has been so worth it.  When I realized this I actually cried.  Laura

Congratulations! I'm sorry you had a hard time but so thrilled for you that you have reached this milestone! WTG

Congratulations!!  I am just starting my journey.  I can't wait to be where you are at.  You should be very proud of yourself. Kim

Hi Laura, I've been checking your progress from time to time and so glad to hear that things are heading your way. Keep up the great work. We are getting a pretty good turnout at the support group for Tallgrass on the second Saturday of the month. Please drop by and join us if you get a chance. Christine and I will not be at the July meeting, but will plan to be at the August date. Christine is almost 3 weeks out and I'm over a year out already. The losses have slowed for me, but I'm happy to be in the normal weight range. Again, congrats to you. John

Thanks John, Maybe I'll try to make it this weekend.  I've gone to a few Tuesday night meetings, but haven't ever ventured into the Saturday ones.  I may just go this weekend.  Maybe I'll see you at the August meeting.  Tell Christine I'm rooting for her.  It is good to know people who are farther out and still so successful.  I am so petrified of gaining my weight back.  Dr. Dunshee assured me that as long as I keep following those basic rules that I shouldn't gain more than about 10 pounds which is normal.  Take care! Laura
