Topic: RE: Knew Update Showing Skin XXXXX
I missed my Dr appointment. Have another appointment on 12 dec . My Dr on Thanksgiving eve was 2 hrs behind. You know how heart drs are. So i just canceled because i was going to my sisters house. I feel great !!!! I think excerise really makes a difference. I dont feel bad this week. Maybe Its because i have been excercising and picking myself up. From the shock from all the bad news. That really floored me and put me in depression again. I think i have come to terms with everything.
Thanks for assking
Hugs

Topic: RE: what did you eat yesterday?
They are extra strong support hose, so yes - like a girdle for the legs. My doctor actually had to prescribe them for me, and I had to be fitted for them. My insurance covered two pair at 80% which was good since I think they were $80-90/pr.
I still have a ways to go - because I'm so short, I would have to be 128 or less to be in the normal BMI range. But to be about 20 lbs away? That floors me - I cannot remember a time when I thought I was within 20lbs of normal. (There were times when I *WAS* and didn't know it - like junior high when I was 135 and thought I was supposed to be 100 lbs or less)

Pam,
Congrats!!
I also recently hit goal. I also weigh every morning. I'm now working on maintaining. I'm trying to wrap my mind around what that means. I've been sucessful in the past at loosing weight, but never long term maintenance. This time will be different, but in some ways I feel like--Now the real work begins.
Congrats. I'm looking forward giving and receiving support in the maintenance phase!

Topic: RE: hi
Hello Ila, and welcome to the September board. Where have you been all these months!! We are a very welcoming group, and personally for myself (redundant speaker that I am!!) I find this board to be the most helpful of all the forums on OH. The thing I love about it is we are all in the same place, basically, facing the same issues (snacking, grazing, whatever you want to call it), flabby skin, dealing with people who are now treating us like people who are worth something, rather than fat blobs. It's a total mind trip, that's for sure.
I hope you come back and get to know us. By the way, I saw where you said you had knee problems -- I just had knee replacement surgery. Ouch!! Give me weight loss surgery any day of the week!!!
love

Hi BT, what the heck is compression hose?? Is it like a girdle, which is something that I am looking for -- any hints!!
Congrats on the 149.4!! I saw 149 this weekend too. It was fun. But I have to say, I think I have lost enough. I really do. I'm afraid my face is looking too drawn. I'm pretty stable at 150-151 and that could be it for me.
love

you are really looking good! I don't see any wrinkles or stretch marks, that's wonderful! I'd look pretty awful in similar clothes...but I need a size 10. My grandson already points to my thighs and says Emmie has crazy legs..he's 2-1/2.
Congratulations...you look fabulous!

You look good. Really.
Mine has the folds and the wrinkles and all that good stuff. LOL
but it't better to have all the loose skin. I know I was a prisioner in my own body. Feels good to have broken out.
So how are you feeling? Hope you're doing good. You look terrific so let's hope your doctor can do something about your heart.
Sincerely,
Koukla
