All I can say is, WOW, WOW, WOW! I'm stunned!! Your profile record keeping, and your success are astounding! I'm printing it right now to read it later (noticed that it's 93 pages!) Thank you for your posting. I'd love to email you and talk, but I have to go stand by the printer since I'm at work. Congratulations!!! I'd love to know how you created your profile also. You also cracked me up, when you said, the person you lost almost qualifies for surgery! TOO MUCH! Isn't that amazing?!!! THANKS

Here I am, 16 months post-op and well into the third year of my weight-loss journey. I'm down 183 pounds, from size 32 to size 4 and BMI 54.9 to 21.8 (that's 33.1 BMI points lost... the person I've LOST almost qualifies for surgery! LOL) I look at my "before" photos and I can't even believe that was me. What a wonderful journey it's been, and how lucky I am to have made so many great friends here.
