My current weight...
...is one pound above where it was the last time I felt good about myself (and sexy) on the way up the scale. Wow. In fact, though, I have been feeling good about myself for quite some time now...and increasingly 
A friend gave me a bunch of clothes that no longer fit her. Some still had tags on them. Remember buying stuff and never getting into them? Yeah, me too. Only...that stuff I'd bought and not worn...is now too big on me 
I felt a little bad about taking her stuff, thinking it must be hard for her on some level...but she is in the early stages of going after wls now! So, eventually, I will be giving this stuff back to her again!
Today, I left the house in shorts for the first time in about 12 years. The first couple blocks, down a busy street, were very difficult. But I also felt elated...walking on air. And as I walked, I felt more and more confident. Very cool.
And earlier today, I had my picture taken standing in one leg of a pair of pre-surgery pants 
I should have the pics by Tuesday and will try to post some asap.
Had some trouble with my new gym and quit it. Am still trying to get a refund. Without going into details, after what they put me through, I deserve a full refund. Rather than joining another just now, I am considering focusing on walking, getting a bike, and buying some equipment for home...one of those balls, maybe, some weights...anyone have any suggestions? On a budget?
Nervous about the ultrasound, etc., on Monday. Distracting myself with as much laughter as possible.
Best to all, and Solstice blessings too.

Hi ya!!
I cant wait to see your pictures. I bet you look just SUPER!!!
I LOVE LOVE LOVE the Walk Away The Pounds Videos. They do not cost that much, are a great whole body work out, are EASY but sweat producing, and most of them off the option of either using water balls or stretchy bands ( super cheap at Walmart - just picked up 3 stretchy bands for $8 yesterday). I also have a ball that I use as a chair ( should do this more often *sigh* ) and its great for core work outs and more. Also not very expensive.
Good luck to you with what ever you go with.
Happy Summer Solstice to you!!

Hi Lisa!!
Congrats on the milestones!! Love it that you are wearing shorts and feeling sexy again!!! You go girl!!! I'll be thinking of you on Monday. Please let us know when you get the results. Sorry I don't have any ideas for exercise for you. I'm a walker myself - how about getting a dog? That's what keeps me going!!
Have a great weekend!
