Thanks Susan! 

For the first time in my life I don't hate my picture. lol... I absolutely love the one I have on here as my profile pic. Still irritating that the DMV won't let me get a new photo on my drivers license... they said I would have to loose another 50-100 lbs (having already lost 100 when I was in there) before it could be considered a "significant change" in order to have a new photo. I was told I still have the same facial features. And all this time I thought our legal state ID should closely resemble what we looked like! Anyone else have this trouble? I'd REALLY like to get that 400lb me picture off my license.

I get a lot of attention from the guys when I go dancing each week now as well.  Thats just FUN! lol. I'm enjoying life- and doing what I want.  I think I mentioned before that I took and passed the Red Cross Lifeguard course back in May- I certainly didn't think I was ready for it, but it was easy enough.

Anyhow- need to go get ready- free dance lessons tonight so off I go for more fun & exercise at the same time, can't beat that with a stick!

Next support group meeting next week? I always loose track.

Woo Hoo!!  I'm FINALLY out of the Morbidly obese and  into the "obese" range of BMI.  I was in an 8 week stall and it feels so good to finally be loosing again!  Just got into a size 16 pants, 12/14 or Large shirt,...life is good!  I can't remember the last time I was this light... 238- now I'm anxious for the numbers to begin with a 1 instead of a 2!  What a long way from 395 in June of '08!

Thanks for letting me share :-)

I'm feed up dealing with various insurance companies. I need RNY and am ready to pay for it. Any self payers in central Arkansas? who has the best price and who is the best surgeon?

AWE!!!!!!!!!! Rat terriers are so stinkin cute.... Congrats on the litter....

Our Rat Terrier started having her puppies around midnight last night.  So far there are just two.  She had the first one in my bed under the covers...gross.  I woke up because she was moving around a lot and felt under the cover and was wondering what I was feeling and whenn I looked, it was a puppy.  Got her to her spot we fixed up in the closet and had to strip the bed at 12:30 in the morning.  (Now I'm not so mad about Val spending $100 for a deluxe waterproof mattress cover for our new bed.)  So far we have one with half a tail and one with a full tail.  I'm hoping for one with no tail so I guess I'll keep my fingers crossed.  She may be done though.  Off on another subject, I was looking for a joke doctors excuse the other day to send Susan and to my surprise I found a zillion sites on the web for fake excuses that people actually pay for.  Never would have thought of that, lol.  never did find one I was looking for to send Susan.

It's Wednesday again.  Trying to get in the end of month paperwork by today's deadline and then start catching up on this weeks other paperwork, bummer.  At least I had one day of being caught up last week!  Ya'll have a good day and take care in this heat.
