My pants have a zipper !!!! What a WOW

HI , I am the leader of the lurker club I just had to write that I put on my first pair of pants with a button and zipper in 4 years!!!! a size 26 jeans that I have been hanging on forever. I am 7 weeks out--- down 37 pounds and only 1 pound from leaving the SMO title behind and becoming "only " extremly Obese. What a wonderful tool we have been given. I also agree with everyone when they post that this is the best board out there Good luck to all and have a great holiday, Jennifer

a zipper? Whats that? I haven't had a zipper on my pants in years. What a GREAT wow moment for you. Get out out of "lurkville" and come join us. We would love your company. Congrats on your progress. Keep us posted! Keep up the good work Kay

Jennifer that is so so wonderful!!! I cannot remember zippers either. I have a question for you. How do you know if you are SMO or just MO... I was curious. Again congratulations. You should be so proud of yourself.

Thanks so much for the support. and yeah I thought I would never see that zipper go on again. I tried them on the week before surgery and they wouldn't fit over my thighs. Last week they would go on but were about 4 inches from zipping. Now today i just said the heck with it I am going to try them. Also I read on here through out the day but I have a 4 year old at home that keeps me from any typing but I am going to start getting into the "PARTY" you gals have going on here Jennifer

well done. we share the same surgery date. things sure look different now. energy level does come back. keep up the good work dave

Thanks for the support... also I am responding about the ? on being SMO vs obese. I just went to the BMI calculator and put in my current weight (SMO) then I went through and figured out what I would have to weigh to be each level. I have it all written down so I know where I stand in the future. example: at 255 I will be Obese at 191 I will be Overweight at 159 I will be normal at 118 I would be underweight I really only want to get to about 175 or so . That being said I will still be overweight at that weight but who will care I will be 175 Good Luck, Jennifer

Congratulations!! wooooooo hoooooooo for zippers!!! Huggs, Ruth
