EXCITED!!! Small goal reached!!!

I am so excited!!! Today is my 11 month anniversary post op. I have now lost 153 lbs and guess what???? I am now OBESE!!!!!! Which was my next "small" goal. When I started I had a BMI of over 60 now my BMI is 39.7 . I was the highest possible at start which was extemely/Morbidly obese. Never thought I would be happy to be considered Obese but this ia a major accomplishment considering where I started. I lost 8 llbs from last month. Loss is slowing down but I am still losing. Also today my 2 year Anniversary at my job. I am living proof it is never to late nor or you to large to have surgery. My starting weight was 417 surgery date 402 now I weigh 264. I still would like to lose a lot more and it may take longer now but I am not giving up!!

I am so excited FOR you!! You have done wonderful, and we are here to celebrate this happy day with you. I was thinking yesterday how lucky we are to have people in our forum who love one another, with a genuine concern of the wellbeing of others. I am thankful because I see this like an extended family relationship... a 'ship' we're all in together!

WOW! You are an inspiration...THANKS FOR SHARING! Just because it's slowed doesn't mean it has to stop. I'm thinking you're the next poster girl for WLS myself! Keep up the great (and yes hard) work! Beth B. in Chattanooga

That is so awesome!!! It's like I told my hubby the other day...we don't just lose pounds, we drop categories!!!!

Hi Juanita, can't wait to see you on Saturday. Congrads on the amount that you have lost. That's great, and you're catching up with me. I am super proud of you. I know how I felt when I went from severe morbid to morbid to obese to over weight and now to normal. It's a real thrill. Keep working at it. love ya Kathy
