Milestone!

As of today, I have now lost more weight than I weigh. I weigh 152.4 and I have lost about 155 pounds! YAY ME! Melanie

Whooohooo! Man, that is some terrific accomplishment...I can't wait to say that! Congratualtions on such an awesome milestone!

I will be waiting for your post when you get there! Thanks! Melanie

Hi Melanie, That is great. I can't imagine losing more than you weigh. You have done so good. I am still waiting. I called Nicole last week. It has been 4 weeks & she had not received my new psy. evaluation. She didn't know to call me or them about getting it. UH! She was suppose to call last week & request it. So, now it has to get mailed to insurance & wait for there slow response. You will not be at the support meeting this month will you? If, not I think I will skip. It is so depressing hearing all the excitment about WLS when I may not get it. Maybe that is the wrong way to feel but it has been 8 long depressing months. Take care & have a safe trip, Ellen

Hang in there, babe. It will happen for you. I can't believe Nicole has been that unprofessional. Why she didn't follow up on that psych eval is beyond me. I can understand why you don't want to go to the meeting but I think you should, if only for the support. I know it has been depressing but it is meant to be WHEN the right time comes. I really will be surprised if you are not approved. I won't get to go to the May meeting either because I will be visiting my grandmother in Maine (for the first time in 20 years)...but I will definitely be at the June one...I hope you will be too. Love Melanie

Hi Melanie. That is awesome! I thin kwe started at about the same weight (I was 308). I hope I can be as successful and get down to 155 (my goal). I am about 20 pounds from goal. You are an inspiration! Keep up the fantastic work! Misty

Congrats! That is amazing that you have lost half of your former self. Keep up the great work!!

congrats, that's great. Kim

YEAH! Oh what a feeling! Wow! you've been working hard. I stopped saying how much I'd lost to just anybody at this point...why because most can't guess I was ever that big...only when it friends or I want to be inspirational. Which you ARE! Good for you! Beth B. in Chattanooga

Thanks Misty, Juanita, Kym and Beth! I have to admit that I have been LOVING the "YOU LOOK GREAT" statements from people who haven't seen me in a long time! The funniest one was at a funeral (I know, that is not funny!) when I talked to a lady I have known around 25 to 30 years...and I had to introduce myself to her because she had not seen me in about a year or two. It was SO funny! Melanie
