I am overweight!!!!

Thanks! Only a few more days until your open enrollment.  I bet you are getting excited! Amy

Congrats to you!!! What an awesome gift we have been given, not just the surgery itself, but each other!!!!  Merry Christmas Amy!!!  CarolN

Thanks so much Carol. You are sure moving right along on your journey!  Best of luck on reaching all of your goals in 2008! Amy

WOOO HOOO for you!!!  Totally awesome accomplishment!!!  Keep up the good work and you will have a fantastic time shopping for a new bathing suit next spring!!! XXOO

Thanks Barb! Congrats on your success as well.  I can't think of anything that anyone could have ever given me than WLS.  I am so thankful to Dr. Jones--he's my personal Santa Claus! As far as the bathing suit goes, I wanted to swim at the gym the other day and I couldn't because my suit was so incredibly baggy!  That's a new one for me!

What a great inspirational post!  Congrats on being overweight!  May you never see obese again!  Cheers to you and your family in 2008 and more successful weightloss!

Hi Tracy! Thanks! I certainly hope to never see obese again, but it is kind of like saying goodbye to an old friend.  A friend who is a horrible influence and enables me, but a friend none the less!  I haven't been overweight since January of 1993, so i am pretty darn excited about it!

Congratulations!  I can't wait to be overweight - only .7 of bmi point to go!  Even if the rest of the world does not understand, we do.  I think everyone can relate to your post. Keep up the great work!

Thanks! You're so close, soon you'll be overweight!!  It really is a great feeling and I can't imagine how it feels to be normal! Amy

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO HOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  That is AWESOME!
