That is so incredible that you have come so far from your original pre-surgery weight. How irresponsible of those making such a judgment over an arbitrary number on a bmi or weight/height chart. As far as I (and everyone else here) are concerned, You. Are. Awesome. You. Are. Successful. And you rock!!!

Do you want to continue working on a healthier you? I guess we all want to do that here. If you wish to have non-judgmental support, advice, and encouragement, we can offer all of the above to you. Please let us know, but be proud of all the NSVs you have accomplished so far. These include lots of pretty new clothes, being able to go through stores without needing to stop every couple of minutes, less aches & pains, being able to see your toes lol, etc. Yay you!!! ❤❤❤❤
