Update

I only lost a pound this week. But since I thought I was going to gain I guess I'm pretty happy. Looking at my weight ticker, I see that I now have less than 40 pounds left before I reach my goal. Woo hoo! I've been having a lot of intestinal problems lately, but then again I haven't been real thoughtful lately about what I put in my mouth. I need to guard against returning to my bad habits! We leave for Scotland in about a month and I'm not sure I'll have clothes to bring with me. For the most part my fall clothes have been packed away all summer. They are size 22-24 and I am now a size 14-16. I may have to buy new clothes. I am fluctuating between 10-12 units of Lantus and I used to be one 20 so I guess that's good. I'm a little disappointed that I'm not off insulin yet. How is everyone else? 218/208/154/115

Sheryl, I think you're doing great! I keep GAINING, so losing a pound is wonderful!! When I travel, I pack things that won't wrinkle and I roll them into a tube shape. They take up less room, come out looking perfect and I'm ready to go! I wear a lot of citi-knits from QVC. This type of modal-spandex is usually sold pretty much everywhere, travels like a dream and is comfy for me. I am still in a 1-2X but I'm working on it. I see the Joslin to get a 2nd opinion on a RNY in a few weeks. I'm starting to get comfier with the idea that I'll be having this surgery if I want to lose weight and level off my sugars. You're doing great and I enjoy this site so much! Keep up the great work and enjoy Scotland!! Marie
