I have an anouncement!!!!!

[Chancie 65]

Ladies and Gentlemen...............

I am now...........................................................

198 pounds!!!!!!

I'm UNDER 200!! I can't believe it!! it seemed so strange to start with the number "one"!

156 pounds gone before my 10th month surgiversary!!

My BMI is 30........ I must have figured wrong... so I just went back and tried again.... and I have to lose 2 more pounds to be "overweight"

It realy is a wild ride......... and it has gone by soooooo fast!!

I havn't been this happy in a long time,and didn't realize how unhappy I really was!

I haven't felt this good in years, or so healthy!

Just to be able to bend over and pick up something I dropped, something everyone takes for granted, was such a struggle for me before.

This truely has been a life changing and "life saving" surgery!

So just a note to all of you just starting this journey- it can be frustrating at times, but it is truely worth it all!

Thank you all for your support and friendship-I'm so glad I found this site and met so many wonderful people here!

Congratulations Chancie! This is wonderful news to wake up to on a Sunday Morning.

I'm just beginning this journey and reading posts like yours make me know that I'm doing the right thing.

Chancie,

I'm so thrilled for you!!!! thin people don't realize how empowering it is to have their weight start with a ONE...instead of a two...lol

You absolutely have to know you have acheived something here! Hard work, proper eating, determination...some exercise...wow..it pays off!

Congrats on Onederland!

Oh Chancie!!! Welcome to Onederland.

I am sooooo envious! I will be there soon. (as soon as this darn stall leaves! my first one, at week seven)

Thanks for all the ups and downs. It helps us all to know we will get thru this. It is not all just "easy" because we had surgery.

Keep up the great spirit.

LOVE < LOVE< LOVE U !!!!!

Chancie -

THAT IS WONDERFUL NEWS! CONGRATULATIONS!!!! :thumbup:

I know how frustrating it can be to hover so close to onderland - I've been doing it for 2 weeks - so I can only imagine (based on how I know I'm gonna feel) how excited you were to see that "1" on your scale this morning ... and it's not even your "official" weigh in date ... tomorrow may be less than 198.

Thank you for sharing your news with us and all your posts I love reading about your progress, it helps me to know that I can do it too!

Big hugs,

VegasAngel

Absolutely awesome! Your story is amazing, and I can only imagine how wonderful you must feel! I don't even remember the last time I was under 200--high school I'm sure, and that was even with a battle.

Good luck on the rest of your journey. You are an inspiration with your success and positive attitude!

Chancie - I love your ticker. So close to the end now! Seems so far off for me, but I have been so extremely encouraged since starting to read about Chancie's and everyone else's successes the last few days. It really is inspiring and makes me so completely sure of my decision.

Thanks so much for sharing your good news! Congratulations!
