Back from Fall Break!!!
Hey guys, I am back from Shanghai. Had a great week just hanging out and sightseeing with a fellow teacher from school. I cannot believe how far I can walk now and my feet don't hurt!!!!!
Still a bit too big for Chinese clothes, but maybe with another 30 pounds off. I am down to 186 now from the 235 that I started out at before surgery. I went to the tailor cause all my pants are falling off but my waist is a little too big for a 16 to be comfortable and 18's are too big. She could not believe my weight loss cause she knows my measurements.
She said I have lost 5 inches in the waist and about 6 inches in my upper thighs. I felt sooooo good!
I have some photos I made, I will post them on my profile today including some of my self now!!!!!

Thanks for that! I was surprised when I saw the photos too! You never see yourself like the camera does. I am going to get the other photos of Shanghai up on my photo website if you want to look at them. Shanghai was so nice this time of the year, cool but not cold and we went around so much, now I can walk so much farther than before, and I didnt feel like my legs were going to fall off!
How are you doing? I know that you are loving Brandon. There are so many places to go and enjoy. I love to go to the festivals on Saturdays that they have in the towns. Wesson is always good and Summit too. Lots of nice crafts and BBQ too. Em would love it!
Let me know about any new recipes you have discovered. I am trying to alleviate boredom in foods these days......
Love,
Cheryl
You are doing so good, I feel bad when I look at where I am!!! and you are not as far out as I am!!! It does feel good to get those inches off, I think that size is more important than weight. I would love to be able to wear a size 12 (loose) as my goal. I think that any smaller might not look good, too thin. The smallest I have been was a size 5 when I was about 20. But I guess the weight set point will be determined by our bodies???
Love,
