Today I left the obese category for good. I am just overweight. My two pairs of borrowed size 18 jeans are getting loose. Whoopee!

It sure feels good. I still do a double take when I see myself in the mirror...it's like I am seeing some other person... It seems like just yesterday I was heading off to Mexicali for the surgery...

By the summer I'll be able to shop for a "permanent" wardrobe...that will be FUN.

Thanks for all the support, y'all.

Horray for Cajun! (doing the happy dance) how great is that? I'm getting there. . they say slow and steady wins the race. . . well that is good. . .I'm hoping to have the majority of my weight lost by October/Nov. . . my mom is coming to visit me and hasn't seen me since 2008. . then i weighed 350 lbs. . . she knows i had the surgery but i don't think she understands the concept of it. . . to her it's just another attempt in my life to lose weight. . . just wait! Good luck Cajun. . . keep up the excellent work!

wooo hoooooo Cajun!!!

I love it!!

Sooooo Happy for you!!

I loved it when I hit the "overweight" mark!!

Now - I'm waiting to be "normal" heehee........ never gonna be "normal"..... but will weight wise!!

Thin-

My son live away from me and he came home after I lost 100 pounds....... and he actually cried! He couldn't believe I looked like I did...Kinda worried me at first.... I asked him , do I look sick or something. and his reply was- no. you look great!

Kinda surprised me......... so be prepared...... people who love you that you havn't seen in a while will act different.... I sure wasn't expecting that from my son.

That's so awesome! congrats :lol0:

Great job Cajun!!!! Keep up the good work!:lol0:

YAY Cajun!! I'm so excited for you. What a wonderful achievement!

I've missed you Cajun! It seems you haven't been posting as much. I have really missed you in chat too.

I am glad to read those 18's are getting big. It's so much fun and I am so happy for you!

Thanks Daisy. I've been real busy...have had some company visiting and done some travelling so I've been off the web for a while.

Congrats Cajun! Keep up the good work!

That's great news!! Congrats. I have a bunch of pairs of 16s that are too big if you want them...just PM me.

Hooray! Congratulations!

I started out as a lightweight and I'm just a few days away from being "overweight." Can't wait!

Congratulations! I can't count the times I've given all my big girl clothes away and bought small sizes...but I believe this surgery can help each of us make it the last time that happens, and the first time we really do get to have a normal wardrobe that lasts!

Cajun Congrats! I'm so happy for you.

Cajun that is soooooooooooo terrific. You are doing so well. I'm not morbid, but still OBESE. But looking forward to OVERWEIGHT. haha. I guess we all look at those same charts.

You are doing great.

Thanks for all the support, yall.
