Hello Gang...still busy getting ready to put house on market and get ready to move to Colorado if that is the Lord' will for us...but have been sick for three days, sinus and ears and now chest...started antibiotics yesterday. I have been weighing in at between 146-147.6 and once 148. But this week I increased water...finally able to drink larger amounts and I started losing, not sure if it was the water or being sick..but yesterday I weighed 144.6 and today I weigh 142.4! I made Dr.s goal in March of 150 but had really wanted to be closer to normal BMI well today I am only 10lbs from that BMI. But I am worred I will look too thin so I support I will keep a check on it and people are calling skinny and my friend who had surgery the same day as I did calls me "twiggY) for those older folks who may remember that name.....I am not fond of it at all. But I am taking protein supplements and eating the right foods but have increased the water intake to what it should be. SO I am thinking that is the reason. Love ya all and sorry I do not do the Ethel wants to know...Maybe after I get over this sickness..I have had sinus headache for amost 4 days now...I feel bad... Love in Him, Joan M

I GOT APPROVED TO GO SEE DR YOUNG tummy tuck PRAISE GODI go see him on the 21 of May yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaanow if I can just get approved to have the surgery that will be great also before I move

Good morning to you also.....With spring here I have been busy attempting to spring clean and clean out all the clothes I have went through in the past few months. Does anyone else have a hard time giving away a nice outfit just case it is a little big? I want to keep it just in case, but I have to give it away to hold myself accountable. I think I found my new addiction- shopping not a good choice for my checkbook! (but better than food or alcohol & much cuter) I have been at 154 for almost a month now, so that means I have lost 156 lbs, on average I say I weigh 155 and lost 155, depending on the day. For everyone working on their goals, keep up the good work it will happen. Look where we were just 13 months ago, the best is yet to come!

I know my tummy will have to be dragged off screaming and kicking!! Chop it off I say! What else are we to do. Julia W.

Yep, those last few pounds are there to stay, it seems like. I have welcomed them! I think if I lost them, I would lose them from an area that doesn't need to lose more weight, like my face and legs. My tummy fat is hanging on for dear life. It will have to be forcibly escorted off my body!
