Thanks guys! It's so fun to have someone like all of you to share this with. Because each of us know how it feels to accomplish these goals and the ones of you that are working on getting approved will hopefully know very soon. All of you are the best. I'm so blessed that I found this board.

It has been years since I have seen a 2 as the first # in my weight. I know that most of you were alot smaller than I am even now when you had your surgery, but this is a major step for me. I have been waiting to break this mark since day 1 of surgery. I feel so much better and it's not almost impossible to go to town and walk in a store anymore or jump out and run in a store to grab something. Before surgery, it was a major deal to even walk to my car or the mailbox. I now have spring coming back into my step. My children are noticing a big difference and make comments alot. They finally feel they have their mom back. I think that is the best blessing of all! I have even been able to drink more water lately without it hurting my pouch! That is a marvelous feeling. I am kicking the regrets to the curb and putting on my tennis shoes! It's gonna be a wonderful journey from here!!!!! I'm so excited!

Kiss those 3's good bye my friend!!! I am so thrilled for you. This is a great milestone. Hang on because this journey only gets better. It may get bumpy and there may be stalls along the way, but keep your chin up and that bounce in your step because you will make it. You should be very proud of you...I am thrilled for your success and happiness.

Have a Happy Friday!!

You go girl and celebrate! That is an AMAZING accomplishment and the first of many. I've loved getting below 250, then less than my husband, then less than when I got pregnant with my son. Next - less than at my wedding - 220 - here I come!

So yea - we totally get it and we are so happy for you!!!!
