I’m no longer obese!!!! I have been obese since I’m 5 years old. This is an amazing accomplishment for me. I never thought I’d get to this point. I can go shopping in whichever store I fancy. My last shopping trip EVERY item I took into the dressing room FIT! I had to get out of there fast. I came home and balled my eyes out... it’s crazy!!!! I am so thankful for this... I can’t explain the emotion going on inside me so I won’t try, all I’m going to say is, if anyone out there is considering surgery but is scared, PLEASE do this for yourself! I promise it will be the best decision you’ll ever make!

Congratulations!!!!!!!!! You should be very proud of yourself!!!

Love to see posts like this ---- Keep enjoying your journey you earned it and you deserved it! Congradulations

Hey, we are both the same weight right now....I too just passed from "obese" to "overweight." It was super exciting! Congrats!

Yay, you! Feels AWESOME, doesn't it????

Hey we understand how you feel!!

Being thinner is awesome.

That is a great feeling!

Thanks everyone for the amazing support! It feels so good to know others understand exactly what I am experiencing and are celebrating with me!

That is great! I passed that milestone a couple of weeks ago myself. What a shock, in a good way, to see my after-visit summary from my primary care doc to say “overweight,” instead of “class 3 morbid obesity.”
