As of yesterday, my BMI was 29.8 which puts me out of the obesity category & into overweight. I was banded July 23, 2012 & my BMI the morning of surgery was 47.4. I have also kissed the plus size section of clothing stores goodbye!! I am so happy!! A year ago, I thought there was no hope for me, that I was going to live in obesity the rest of my life. Down 97lbs & just loving life. :-)

That is so awesome! Congratulations!

So happy for you, and inspired. One day I'm going to be there too. Glad you shared.

That is Amazing!!! Congrats!!

Celebrating being Overweight! Only in America.

Well, considering where I was, yes I will celebrate. No matter how silly it sounds.

doing the happy dance for ya. Congrats!

Congrats to you!

Congrats! Stories like these are what give us newbies motivation to be patient and stick with it .

Wooohoo ! I love that you are loving life! I'm newly banded and feeling better and better!

I joined you today in that catagory! It IS wonderful, and another milestone met. I came on to make the same post, but adding on to yours is even better

Congrats to both of you that left obesity, and came into overweight!

That is really great for both of you!!!! A dream come true!
