Onederland is still a way off---a month or two anyhow. Thanks! Yep, I'm happy with things. The arms just fall under "What the hell can ya do?"

Congrats! Enjoy the victory...

It will be nice to have a cooler feeling summer eh? Hey, did the fire smell get out of your house? (we've had 2 fires)

I hope I feel cooler, although the arms keep me kinda toasty. The bathroom still reeks-- we're waiting on the apartment complex' insurance to get the cleaners out here. They have to finish demo on that apartment and seal it off still-- the smell is coming from our mutual ducts. Could have been so much worse, though. I really don't mind.

They're so self-possessed in middle school, they rarely notice. Actually, it depends on whether they had me recently or not. Ones who haven't had me since last year kinda freak out, in a nice way. They see me in the hall and go, "Whoa!" It's kinda cute.

Wow....what an accomplishment. I'm impressed that you're still working at it so diligently too. Keep up the good work. (By the way, my arms look like that and I haven't even lost the weight yet...LOL)

My arms were always hellishly large-- now it's just that much more disproprtionate because the rest of me is smaller. I still really can't complain. Vigilence is gonna have to be life-long....but I only bite off one day at a time.

You look great! And if the arms need a ps job, so be it. My friend D's arms have actually kind of tightened up a bit - she is about 20 months out now. This next bout of loss will bring out the original version of you in no time. Your shape is changing a lot now.

There IS no "original version" of me. I have been overweight since my early teens-- I don't even know what normal means! The arms will not bounce back. I wish y'all would cut that out! It ain't funny, it ain't true, and it ain't right!

Maybe it's not obvious in pictures-- but they aren't "a little jiggly"-- I have big ol' lipodema piles of fat in there. Gotta get 'em removed. The rest of the loss should be from the waist down. I lose like atub of toothpaste-- squeezing from the top down. Pretty typical for WLSers.
