Pounds lost so far: almost 84 lbs Recent or current problems: Feeling more hungry than I was previously, eating more ounces than previously (about 6 oz.), still having trouble getting in all the water, and still having on-going back and hip problems. Recent successes: There's space between me and the steering wheel. Yay! I'm down in clothing sizes, joined a 3 days/week water aerobics class (and I can do it and love it!), getting out more and walking is so much easier I put my cane in the closet ... Yay! Goal for July: I'd love to be a century club loser by the end of the month , but I'm not going to hang my hopes on it. Also would like to extend my walking ... only up to two blocks a day now (or 3 laps around the local Lowe's store while it's so hot ... sh-h-h-h-h don't tell them I'm not shopping), and I'd like to be doing much better than that. Pounds to left to lose: So many I don't want to even *THINK* about it (!) ... just taking one day at a time. Myra 442.3/358.5/150
