For those that have *LOTS* of weight to lose...

Losing weight is a challenge for most of us, even with the surgery. It is uplifting to read all the success stories from people who used this wonderful tool to help them overcome obesity. But many of us have an extra challenge. We are more obese than the average morbidly obese person. I was 487 when I had the surgery, and have lost 115 lbs in 6 months. That's the good news...but I'm still morbidly obese. And although I plan to lose at least another 100 lbs, I will still be considered obese. I know, I know, I should be thankful for the success I'm having now...it is certainly an improvement and has made a drastic change in my life for the better. But it's such a long road..., and most likely I will still be considered obese according to the BMI calculations. I am determined, but I feel discouragement slipping in where there used to be hope. Anybody else stress about this? Thanks for reading.
