Chimera 644 Posted August 7, 2012 The scale vistory is that I weighed 229 this morning - which means I am now simply 'obese' - no longer morbidly obese, no longer super morbidly obese either Overweight here I come! Non scale victory - Sunday night the family was sitting on the sofa all watching Breaking Bad and I realized that my legs were crossed - I dont think I have been able to do that in at least 15 years. Slowly the big stomach is going away - when we would go to restaurants I was too big to fit in a booth, now there is plenty of room, plenty of room with the steering wheel in the car as well. The clothes are starting to get really big - so big that my husband tells me that I cant go out of the house in 80 percent of my wardrobe lol. I never thought I would be a success, I always thought that this is something I will never win, this fight for a healthy weight. Now it feels possible! 8 ProudGrammy, JenC, Odee and 5 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Back~To~Amy 307 Posted August 8, 2012 Congrats on your success! I too felt like I could never be a success, even with VSG. Now that I'm knocking (.2 away) on the door to 50 pounds gone, I feel like I can be successful. Keep up the good work! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
