Ok, it's the last day of May.....WE MADE IT THROUGH I know I wasn't as diligent with exercise in May, but am determined to surpass everything in June....Watch for the June Challenge..... It's another scortcher outside today & those darn catepillers are so GROSS...... So I decided to walk on the treadmill with the AC on. Walked 3 miles YEAH.... felt great. Brought my kids to school & couldn't stand the grass...so I decided to mow the lawn. Hubbies been working 12 hour days so I figured I'd give him a break. Not to mention it was only 73 this morning. The scales not moving much. Still 189.5, but that's ok...think my goal for May was to get under 190 & I made it....YEAH Soooooooo..............how's everyone else doing? Tam

Hi Toni, It is very important to document your journey through pics. I look at my preop pics and cringe that I was so huge! I can't believe I actually thought I didn't look that bad. But looking at pics of me now compared to the ones preop, I see a very big difference. I am sure if you can get the right shots you will see a huge difference in yourself. If I lived closer, I would come take pics of you! I can't believe your friends won't do it. Have you explained to them that it's for documentation of your journey? Know anyone with a camera phone? I have even taken my own pics in the bathroom mirror. Not the best pics, but they will do in a pinch! And you could have your support group friends take pics too! I am sure they would be thrilled to do it! Take care sweetie and SMILE! Look how far you have come!!! Lori
