he he he ....so is that what sub-normal means? I like the sound of that. I'll just call myself "sub-normal" from here on out.
I wished you lived closer Lori! I'm so excited about meeting Missy AND Leesa this summer!! I was thrilled they both had decided to vacation in the state of Michigan!!

What really is NORMAL???? For all us WLS peeps I think its when we get to our goal, we are like NORMAL for Society standards. I fwelt I was normal when I could bend over and tie my shoes, wrap a regular size towell around me, wear jeans with a button and zipper(no more elastic bands), tuck my shirt in and wear a belt, oh my I guess I could go on and on with the list but so glad to say CONGRATS to you and being NORMAL. You look wonderful

Lisa, Starla...thanks. I tend to agree with you Starla. "Normal" is a lot more than the number on the scale.
Yeah, Lisa....I'm pluggin' away. I really would like to see my goal weight before the PS. I don't know...just would almost feel like I was cheating or something if I only make goal because I had the Plastic surgery. 
I know....kinda weird. Just the way I'm feeling.
