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!

Hugs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm soooooooooooo happy for you! You have come alongggg way you are my role model lol

So happy for you Chancie, you are showing us how to keep on and don't give up losing that weight. Thanks for all your giving to us!

Congratulations Chancie! You have come a long way !! It is so good to see people getting close to their goal weight and how amazing they feel about themselves . I am just a newbie in this field...Had my WLS only one and a half month back.....So I have many more months to go !!

G'luck to all of you just starting this adventure.......... you will love the results!!

Hey Chancie!!!! CONGRATULATIONS!!!!

That is a big thing! Wow! I have 5 more lbs. before I get there. I am so excited!

I am so happy to see that you have made it to Onederland!! I have been reading several of posts and looking at your photos. You have been a great inspiration for me and I am now looking foward to reaching Onederland myself. I have a ways to go yet, I have 17 more pounds to lose before I get there, but after reading your post I feel that it will be a big event. I can feel your excitement. Have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!!

Chancie, congrats! Sorry, I'm seeing this a few weeks later! What a great accomplishment!

Chancie

That is Fantastic! I am so happy for you!! You have done GREAT!

Congratulations! I hope to join you in onederland soon!

That is awesome dear! I'm so very happy for you!

Holy poop the bed, Agnes! Way to go, my friend. I can relate to the good feeling, the healthiness. And two pounds to being overweight made me smile. I will ALWAYS be overweight according to those asinine scales and measurements, but I know how much better I feel.

Once again, congrats! :biggrin0:

CONGRATS!! This makes me want to do it even more. You're truly an inspiration to us that are just beginning out journey!!

That's great! I know wonderland was being elusive for you. You look so good.
