aww thanks Sue. I'm managing to stay positive though I'm a little nervous about my appt with the doc next week. Havent seen him since Feb. Just gonna be honest about my food choices. I can say my clothes are fitting better. Go****s so much better to have them gradually getting looser rather than gradually getting tighter!

Your pics look WONDERFUL (Happy belated bandiversary, too!) & Your grandaughter looks so charming.

BTW, my DH is happily immersed in his new paramedic job for a month now. 24, 48 and even a 60 hour shift this week with many transports back and food between Huntsville and Galveston (4-5 hr round trip!) He's hoping to hear from a larger EMS company today so he can work one job p/t and the other full-time. The small company he's at now has YET to give him his first paycheck

but we're hoping that will come any day now. With a nod to Swoosh, I JUST KEEP SWIMMING

You're welcome, thanks! And he got the 2nd job today. The company is older and is based all over Texas...training starts next week, around the hours he's already scheduled. I see more cooking in my future. (and grocery shopping, and lawn mowing....)

Speaking of cooking, I used Steph's chicken/wine/mushroom's recipe this weekend. I don't cook much (that's changing now!) but the dish turned out delicious! Thanks Steph!!

yeah I didn't know the pic in the blue shirt was ever taken. I received it in a text at first I didn't even realize it was me I asked who it was. Then the next thought that ran through my mind is OMG somebody took a picture of me when I was pregnant (there are none to my knowledge)Then the horror set in as I was looking at it I was a blonde both times I was pregnant this picture was taken 2 years after I had my last baby 16 years ago. I really didn't think I was that big, but unfortunately somebody likes to remind me how fat I was. key word ( WAS)

It's funny now, but I have very few "before" pictures because I would threaten death to anyone that came near me with a camera! Now I'm a big ham!

On Tuesday I'm having my photo taken for my Surgeon's website! Who me? I'm already stressed about what I'm going to wear because sometimes in my head I'm still 330 lbs. Well, since it will be a before and after there will at least be that comparison to remind me just how far I've come!
