Meh, from what I've been reading, lots of folks have a 'stall' or 'plateau' at around a year out. I think the body must just be adjusting, after all, last year at this time we were all still obese! I know since I didn't have much loss, seeing my stats on the chart this month doesn't feel like it will mean as much, but I don't want to skip it or stop it if it means a lot to other folks. I can skip this month and hope that Spring brings good things, or if enough people say so, I'll just do it. Lemme know.

Ooooh, I hope your birthday trip was wonderful. Happy and healthy birthday to you! I guess 'care' was too strong a word. I just thought since no one else seemed to notice, and you're right about the board being dead, perhaps our minds are all elsewhere? I wonder if the STAT chart has outlived it's usefulness? Me, I have a hernia repair coming up, probably in about a month. I am waiting on insurance approval to see exactly what will be done, but hopefully my panni will be removed with a bit of a TT, and my boobs lifted [no implants, they are big enough!]. I am working PT now, sometimes 6 days a week, and it seems to have kicked my mind into dumb blonde overdrive [well, I'd like to blame it on blonde, but it's from a bottle of Sun-In;)]. My mind seems to escape me on a regular basis now. I think I had less than a 4 pound loss this month, I'd really have to go back and look at the chart, but I'm hovering around 161-163. I have lost more inches, and honestly as much as I have really good eating days, I have some not so good ones, so I see every reason for the slow down. I am not super worried, as long as I don't gain before surgery the doc and I will be happy. I make sure I don't gain, so like I said, I'm not worried. So I was just thinking maybe we don't need or want monthly STATS now? I imagine we all DO CARE, just maybe are focusing on LIFE now?

I realized today that I entirely forgot all about them this month. Does anyone care?

Happy b-day to you too! (hugs)

Happy Belated Birthday Terri!!!!!
