Way to go, lady!! It's about a whole lot more than mere weight loss! Those who are obsessed with their scales need to post this on their bathroom mirrors!!

thanks CT it really is NEVER about the scales it's about how you feel and how much healthier we are after loosing so much weight. the scales and mirror are SECONDARY . Nice side effect but def secondary!!
Mary, I am soooo happy for you and appreciate you sharing to give hope and inspiration to us pre-ops. I totally agree with you about the #1 reason is to get healthy and looking good is just an added bonus. Kudos to you for reminding us all of that. You are another inspiration to me. Hugs
