It seems like cause to celebrate...  :)  I assume I get to stick around on this board though since it WAS clearly much over 50 to begin with. lol  :D

oh and ftr.... I am at 299.... so that looks like a big deal too!  I havent been under 300 pounds for quite a lot of years.

Congratulations my twoderville friend!  VERY big deal... and congrats on getting your BMI under 50!  Awesome job!  We better be able to stick around LOL

First off congrats... and yes that is a really good  reason to celebrate.. 

Of course you stick around here.. I am under the 50 BMI too but this is my home.. I love this forum and would never call another home.. It is for the people who start out with BMI's over 50 it does not mean you have to stay over 50BMI ..THANK GOD>> lol  only here will anyone know what you have went thru and what your life was like with a BMI over 50.. now you can share the WOW moments of the under 50 BMI woman you are.. and all the coming wow moments as the BMI drops lower and lower..

I am so happy for you that you have reached twoterville... what a great  WOW..


huggs...

:) Thank you!  It's so hard to believe that just as recently as October I was almost immobile... I couldnt walk to the mailbox without having to stop and recover and getting out fo bed was a nightmare. I had block circles around my eyes and I was always scared of dying...I was so miserable.  I cant believe that in such a short period of time I have changed SO many things.  I have a VERY long way to go still and I am still fighting to get WLS but I am so glad I didnt just let my struggles depress me and make me get worse. I was originally doing a 6 months Dr supervised Diet but while I am still going in every month and having it charted, on the off chance I get some insurance soon that has any requirements  ;) I am no longer officially on the same track I was on previously. I figure each day is an opportunity to make good decisions that will better every day of my life to follow.  :)  I'm thankful for this site, I really am!

Congratulations!!! Keep up the great job!!!

Oh yes, you need to stick around here with us. We all have to be here to make fun of our flappy arms and low hanging deflated bellies. We also need to celebrate fitting in regular chairs and seatbelts and all that stuff that people take for granted.

Congrats on making such big changes since fall. Every time I pick up a 5 lb bag of flour, I realize it's no WONDER I've been tired all these years lugging around all this weight.

ugh flappy arms and hangy bellies.... btw I am still obviously quite big but I am already developing a seriously flappy tummy... UGH!!!!!!!!!!!   I DONT LIKE IT!
