Just looking at those lake pictures again and noticed how I completely FILLED up and was POURING out of the side of the plastic houseboat chair last summer :-( This summer, as you can see, there is EXTRA room all around me in that chair! YEEHAW!

Thx Phoenix, I need someone to keep an eye on me and I will try to do a better job of reporting back. My skin ain't perfect, but I'll take it and I am happy so far....

FRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE :-)

(Doing good today - protein shake for breakfast, salad with turkey and about five croutons at lunch, 1 liter of agua already)

Hi all - I'm still doing my best, struggling every once in awhile. The carbs are almost gone....I just wish I had never tried another nacho cheese dorito. UGH. I despise them. I'm in a new house with a new roomie so I have new food challenges. Granted, I should have the strength to resist, but all this time I've been livin solo so any food in the house was food I brought home. Now I've got to contend with her food triggers/habits. But I'm trying. And Phoenix, I'm doing much much better with the alcohol. It is making a difference, I feel it.

Anyway, had a fight night party last weekend. As you all know, I take Muay Thai kickboxing and I LOVE it. My best friend and I took this picture and all of my friends say they can't believe I look almost as skinny as her....truthfully, I can't believe it either!!!!!! She's been thin our whole lives, I've known her since the 4th grade. So the fact that she is wanting to borrow my tops and dresses is just surreal.

I hope you all are well....I feel like there is sooo much to catch up on...

My dear I would NEVER steer you (or anyone here) wrong!

Great job in turning things around a bit there, and adjusting some of those inevitable challenges that come along when we're far out from surgery. They are a bitch!

You've done the critical step of SEEING stuff start to go wrong, then CHANGING the stuff that started to go wrong. This means you're growing the most important muscle of all: your BRAIN baby!!

Hi all, I've been absent and I apologize, especially to all those newbies out there posting and waiting eagerly for someone, anyone to reply! LOL. I remember being there...

Just wanted to write on my 10 month surgi-versary. I've made it down to 162, so 4 pounds last month...its a step back in the right direction. I'm workin at it every day. But I feel good and healthy and pretty and happy....everything else that happens (no matter how long it takes) is just icing on the cake.

I hope you are all well....

If nothing else...HAPPY FRIDAY~~

Looks like my post this month will be much like last month - not a lot going on over here ;-) Just living life. Down only 2 pounds, haven't been posting much, happy with all aspects of life. Wanting to work out more. The boyfriend is fabulous. The holidays and my one year surgi-versary approach rapidly. I'm amazed how fast this year has flown by.

I'm thinking some photos are in order soon. I guess I could just do my one year photos in a month. We shall see...

Take care all....
