    Awesome. I hope to have an amazing number like you soon. I had surgery March 30, 2012. I am so close to Onederland I can almost reach it. :)

    Congrats of taking comtrol of your life. So are you at goal? You said "so far" but your ticker implies that you are done. Just curious.

    Hi Mandy I'm new here also. My name is John and I had RNY surgery on 3/15/12 and loving this ride of being healthy. Just being able to exercise and buy clothes in a normal store feels awesome. I lost 67lbs so far and I plan on running my first 5k on the 29th of this month. I just want to meet more ppl that have been through the same obstacles with weight and health and just help each other on continued success. Keep up the good and keep fighting the good fight.:smile:

    I have 1.3 lbs to my original goal of 140 lbs, but I still won't be in a normal BMI. I think I will set my next goal as a normal BMI :)
