just "over weight"! My BMI has went from 48.4 in June of 09 to 28.9 today. I thought I would always be "morbidly obese"......I guess prayers do come true! Well, prayers & hard work & determination. Lets not forget that because so many people think WLS is the "easy way out". There has been nothing easy about this!

Starting weight 301 Current weight 127

How'd ever thought being "Overweight" would be such an accomplishment. (BTW I had a private "moment" when I realized my BMI was under 40 for the first time in god knows how long) Congratulations on all the hard work.

That's awesome Heather!

Looking at your pictures tho, I find it hard to believe that you're in the overweight category, I thought you'd be so close to, or in, normal already.

YOU ROCK!
