Hi Carla! I think a lot of us had a busy summer. Congratulations on getting to your goal I, too find myself snacking and not snacking the good things! It can get out of hand and that's what I'm scared of. The tendencies are still there waiting to come out and take over. I can't let that happen. Shopping is second nature for me! I can shop and shop all day long. I usually can find a couple of things I like. Now that's something else I have to get under control. The surgery for the legs is a thighplasty. I will have a vertical incision on the inside of my thighs and probably going down part of my legs since I have so much excess skin. My ps says I won't get rid of all my excess skin on my knees, but it will be a lot better than it is now. It is also one of the ps that requires the most recuperation time for healing. I'm hoping that all goes well and at least I'm well educated on what to be aware of. Thanks for letting us know how you are doing! Take care, Lucy

Hi Lucy, I admit to a busy summer and didnt get on much, but now that summer is over, I will for sure check in more often. I am glad to see everyone doing so well. We have all had our ups and downs. Even though I am at my goal, I still find myself snacking and not getting a meal in. When I do this for a few days, then I get back on track for awhile and behave myself..I still drink my protein everyday and try to get all my liquids in. I take calcium and vitamins too. I also love to shop. My kids laugh at me when I say I am not buying one thing today while we are shopping. They say Ya right mom..lol..Their usually right.. Best of luck on your plastics. I would love to have my legs done next summer. But I will wait to check on that after the Holidays. Do you have an info on that kind of surgery? Take care, Carla

Hi Carla! Yep, one more pound! That's only 4 sticks of butter. Now I need to multiply my total weight loss and figure it out.. OMG, I lost 1,295 sticks of butter! 4 sticks to a pound - 4x 324(lbs) = 1,296 sticks - .2 for the loss of 323.8 = 1,295 sticks of butter! That's a lot of butter Thanks for your post! Hope all is well with you. Hugs, Lucy

Sorry to hear about your ordeal. There is nothing worse than mouth and tooth pain. I hope you feel better real soon. That must be awful for you. Take care, Carla

How exciting for you. I know you will do it and feel great about it afterward. Have fun, Carla
