I finally escaped obesity and made it to an overweight BMI! I couldn't have done it without RNY. I'm not even close to stopping yet, but this is a major milestone. The BMI charts used to make me feel completely overwhelmed, and they seemed so unrealistic to me. But not anymore. Thank you to everyone who has supported me along the way!

Congratulations, that is so wonderful. I remember how excited I was when I hit that milestone. I am 3.5 pounds away from a normal BMI, and I know I am going to cry like a baby when I hit it. Keep up the good work.
