This week I am starting 2 have my follow up appointments & I went to the 1 of the doctors 2day. Now when I 1st went I couldnt be weighed on their scale because it only went up to 500lbs & as all of u know I was 526lbs. Well 2day, when he called my name I was thinking omg, Im still not going 2 be able 2 give my weight. So the nurse said just put all of ur things dwn & lets see. So I did & I got on that scale WITH MY SHOES ON & it read 497lbs smh. Yall have no idea, how that made me feel. I know EVERY scale dont go up 2 (500lbs) but I can actually get weighed like a normal person...all I could do is cry. Most ppl dont have 2 worry about that kinda stuff but I do & it made my day 2 see my weight come accross that screen EVEN THO its still alot it came accross that screen & thats ALL that matters 2 me.

You gave me happy tears!! I am so darn happy for you. Congratulations to you. I know this is just the beginning of your fabulous journey.

Ok, so you're going to think we're all a bunch of weeping saps.. But ya got me teared up too! Soooo happy for you! If I could dance I would do a dance for ya.. But I can't .. Trust me. If I could hold a tune that wouldn't start the neighboring coyotes howling I'd sing a song for ya, but I can't ..trust me. Sooo you'll have to settle for a OMG.. CONGRATS!

That is such an awesome accomplishment! I can't wait until I get to weigh on one of those medical scales again. All my docs so far have digital. I used to not be able to stand that moment when you get on the scale and you can tell that they are guessing where to start where it's not so low that it's silly, but not so high that it's offensive. I had a male nurse (and a good looking one at that!) weigh me in at my ENT doc before I had surgery. He started at 150 (!) and kept going up and up. When he stopped at 270, I could tell he was shocked. He said I don't know where you're hiding it and I said I carry bricks in my pockets. Seriously, I wanted to run and hide. I hate weighing in on those scales!

That is the best thing I have read all day. You are amazing!

Hooray for you!!!

Congratulations! !! So happy for you. Keep up your amazing work! Kudos

My heart definitely flip flopped when I read that.

Hooray for you!!!

Kudos to you!

That's sooo fantastic!!! Congrats :-) you are such an inspiration to everyone!! Keep rockin that sleeve!!!!!!!!

Awesome! Congrats!

Congratulations ***does happy dance for you!** I know where you're coming from when you talk about the scales. My last doctor's appointment before surgery, his scales couldn't weigh me.

It was really embarrassing, having this 20 something, pretty nurse sliding the scale counterbalance weights back and forth - trying to figure out why she couldn't get a weight measurement on me. I don't think she could believe that I weighted (or any person could weight) more then #350.

She finally gave up. :-P

Keep Pimpin' that Sleeve!

Wow, you're at almost 100 lbs gone, JoatSaint--way to go!
