So this morning I weighed in at 185.2 pounds with a total weight loss of 106 since my RNY on Dec 20.

I am so thrilled with the journey so far.

My BMI has gone from 40.6 to 25.8.

I thought that since my BMI was 25 I was in normal range....but the 0.8 keeps me in the overweight category....BUT all is not lost.

I came to the realization that instead of being in the 98th percentile of heaviest people, meaning I was heavier than 98% of the population.....NOW I am in the 46th percentile and there are more than 54% of the population is heavier than me!!!!

So freaking awesome!!!!!

I'll take victories any way I can slice then!
Have a great day!
Harold
