Congratulations, Amy! Thanks for taking the time to write your story. Your stats are pretty similar to mine, I only wish I had lost this weight when I was 30 like you. I love your attitude, especially the dance team and cheerleading. I would have never been able to put myself out there like that. You've got guts and I'm sure you will make the most of your weight loss.

What a great post! You've lost ...well, just about exactly the amount I saw on the scale when I stepped on it this morning. You've lost ME--an overweight adult woman with a BMI of 29.1.

AWESOME!

What a great story and so inspirational. I'm doing the three month diet/exercise/seeing multiple doctors before submitting to insurance. I especially appreciated your stories about dancing. I took dance lessons from 1st grade through 5th, but after my 5th grade recital, my parents heard some remarks about "the fat girl" on stage, so they pulled me out of dancing--one of the things I felt good about. Years later, I took Irish step dancing in my 30's and even participated and won medals in some competitions, despite being 220 pounds! And I would perform at Irish festivals. If people didn't like my weight, well too friggin bad! Thanks for your story.:thumbup:

That is amazing! You are such an inspiration. I am still in the early stages of getting my paperwork in for insurance approval. I just need to attend a doctor's talk and I will be able to submit to insurance. I needed this story.. Thank you so much!
