Hi, I once lost over 100 lbs and I was amazed at how differently people treated me differently. Just the way that people started to look me in the eye, hold doors for me etc. was amazing, and sad. I am a good judge of people and had the same friends that I did before. The thing that I really noticed was that my career took off after I lost the weight-- people took my work more seriously. That was the most positive part. You will still be you on the inside and what's on the inside is what counts. Good people are attracted to good people...

Hello all, This is my first post, I have been a lurker. My Dr submitted the paperwork to United HealthCare (Choice plus) 3 weeks ago. I called today and checked up and they said that UHC needs a 5 year weight history. I am really worried because here is my 6 year history: 2001: BMI=52 2002: BMI=39 2003: BMI=35 2004: BMI=39 2005: BMI=45 2006: BMI=45 I had a flunctuation and went down to a BMI of 35 because I was starving myself and working out for my wedding. Do you think this will prevent them from approving me because I haven't been over 40 BMI consistently for the last 5 years? Any advice or experience is appreciated! Thanks, Martie DFW, Dr. Marsden
