Congratulations Cocoa.

I celebrated all of my milestones but getting to a "normal" BMI was the one I was most proud of.

You've done great.

I'll never make it to normal unfortunately, but overweight sounds much better than morbidly obese.

This is wonderful news, this just reconfirms to me that this is a 2-year process and not to get dismayed with tiny losses. Thank you for posting!!!!
