Well, I finally did it. Under 200lbs. No matter how well I dieted or how much I exercised in the past I never got under that dreaded number. Monday on my "official weigh day....drum roll please...198lbs. I hit a stall at 201, 202, 201 you know how that is. I feel it may have been psychological as well as not watching my intake. But now I feel like I can do it . My goals are attainable. Yippee, no regrets..Love the sleeve!

Although my mother gave me panties for Christmas one year in size 5XL I just about bawled then cause I must have looked awful big to her. Sorry to those who are that size but I am only five-four.but I digress. I was forced to go shopping because I was in church and my pants almost fell off. So I went to th second hand store known as Value ...

Just a little update on my progress, I am down 59 lbs since January. 30 before June 12 and 29 lbs after surgery. I feel great, more energy. I sleep like a baby. I wake early ( not that I want to) but I wake up feeling rested and ready to take on the day. I am headed out for camping today for two weeks. I bought a kayak and plan to get in a lot of activity in the next two weeks. no Internet service of course, so not sure when I will be checking in again Lots of relaxation, reading, interspersed with ...
