Hurricane over! I'm OK and Weightloss update
Hello all,
I'm sorry, I didn't mean to make anyone worry over me. I am fine. This last hurricane, Jeanne, pretty much came right over us this time. Fortunately it was just a Tropical Storm by the time it hit the Tampa area. We were without power for about 12 hours only! Gotta love TECO! Cable is still out however which make watching TV nearly impossible. But, That is nothing to complain about. (although I just did) 
Other than my front porch awning blowing in half and a few roof tiles missing, the house is fine. Again, loads of tree debris and I spent half a day cleaning it up and piling it for the garbage men. We have been so lucky! It gets really nasty and scary, but this old mobile home sure seems sturdy! Of course you know I have to add a KNOCK WOOD here!
Weight loss is up and down. I am going through the same 3 or 4 pounds up and down the scale. Won't seem to stay off. This morning I was at 145.6. I have been as low as 143.2 this week and as high as 146.7. We'll blame this on the "monthlies". Looks like I won't show much for this months weight loss if things continue on this path. But I am OK with that for now. I have about 29 pounds left to go to my personal goal of 115, but I am trying not to sweat it. I can eat a lot more, seemed to kinna happen all of the sudden. I think I am prolly up to about 6-7 ounces at a time. But at this point I don't think that this is completely abnormal and I am fine with it. Still trying to keep up the good choices and not eat too much junk that I'm not supposed to. It is getting harder though. I feel good and just really can't complain! I went to Oktoberfest last Saturday in Manatee county and will go to one this Saturday in Sarasota county. My before picture is from last years Oktoberfest (at 261 pounds) so I will have a pic taken of me at this one so we will see a true one year difference. Even though it is months before the true 1 year anniversary. OK, I have talked long enough, again, sorry for any worry caused! Thanks for thinking of me! Tracy

Hi Tracy. Glad to hear that you are okay. Florida has had a really tough time this year and I hope it's over now. Great job on the weight loss too. You'll get those last 29 pounds off, just hang in there. It's hard to keep to good food choices huh? I just try not to buy the junk anymore and the stuff I buy for my daughter are things I don't like (well I should say I don't crave!). It's still so easy to slip but unlike before surgery when I would diet and mess up, I get back on track right away now. I still have 37.5 pounds to lose before plastics so I don't want to slip at all. I want to reach my goal!! Have a great day, and hope that cable comes back soon!
Hi Tracy, I'm so glad that you are doing well. I'm right there with ya on the weight loss. For probably a couple of months now it's been an up and down problem. I had an incisional hernia repair done in September and couldn't exercise for 3-4 weeks so I'm just now getting back into the swing of things. 
I started doing Walk Away the Pounds and I joined the Y with my dh. I started water aerobics and it's fun. I love the water so it was a good choice for me! Yep, definately eating more but also trying to put protein and fluids first. I'm not perfect but I think that I do pretty good. Anyway, I know what you mean about the struggle. Hang in there!
