Hey Gang. I'm back!

First, did yall miss me? You don't have to answer that. . My knee is doing ok. Starting tomorrow I can bear weight on it. I've already started a lil bit and its feels ok. I do have occasional pain. I am planning to physically return to work October 1. I've been working from home for the past 2 months.  Let's see, I've pretty much been faithful to healthy eating choices. However last week, I discovered McDonald's has chocolate chip cookies. I've been wearing them the hell out. I have a good explanation for it.. I haven't had nothing sweet for the past 5 weeks. I was unable to go into the grocery store, so I decided I need to satisfy the craving. The cookie**** the spot! I will be leaving them alone... at the end of this week. The outlook for my knee is take it very slow for the next couple of months.. Probability of subsequent tears of the meniscus are high! Despite this, I am determined to lose 30 lbs by the end of the year. I think I am going to go back to strictly protein shakes. It's doable, plus its in the best interest for my knee!  Ok enuff of me, how have yall been? Did I miss anything? Tali: I am down 4lbs! ->250 I guess sittin on yo ass pays! Yeah baby! ;)

Glad to hear you made it, Bud! Ain't convalescin' a pain in the ass?

Very much so Shari! I peeked at the challenge update. I see you are kicking ass. Are you fully healed yourself? 

wow...yup, did miss you...knew many of the old gang was mia!!!! Glad you are  no worse for the wear.  Been fightin with your sister?  or did that all blow over???  LOL

Neecee: It blew over. Do you know my sister's nickname is Neicy.. Ugh! Anyway i didn't talk to her for a while. Finally after her texting me repeatedly. I called her. It was irritating. She talked. I sat the phone down. It was nice. =)

 

Wow, what an incredible weight loss.  Did you do all shakes to help you lose it?  I would have loved to read your story.   Glad to have you back. Brenda

Welcome back Bud

Hey Bud,

Glad you're back and doing better.  Congrats on the 4 lbs.  I updated the official chart for you, don't worry that the challenge chart on here remains the same.  You will see the correct numbers when I update again September 1st.

Wow, not able to move around much but you still managed to lose.  I'm hanging my head in shame now, but I'm happy as hell for you.

Tks Tali, I'll see if I can maintain.. I just inhaled 6 chocolate chip cookies this evening.. I still have another 2 days on this cookie addiction.
