Haven't been around..so, Ill gab
Hi all.
I haven't been around for a while. Last time I posted I was almost falling off the wagon, but I regained my balance quickly, and have been doing quite well. So well, that I've barely had time to gab. 
I've reached a milestone....just a small one...but ...I've now lost 55 pounds. So that half century mark is now behind me. It's five months and I have to admit, I feel better at this weight than I have many other times even at lower weights. The healthier foods, the non processed foods, and the EXERCISE has made such a huge difference in my outlook, my health and my skin! I still have 100 pounds or so that I want to lose. I know that I will, too. I got a decent hair cut. I haven't left the house without make-up in a while. I make sure that I'm not messy looking, even if it's just to make a quick run to a neighborhood store.
I got one of those body composition scales. It tells you your muscle mass, water weight, body weight, etc..
It has given me even more incentive to Work-Out longer and harder.
I saw a acquaintence recently who had the WLS....I didn't even recognize her. She looked great! I have to admit, I was jealous. She has lost over 200 lbs. She's had more than a few plastics and this has all been accomplished in a relatively short amount of time.
Since I have opted out for WLS....the jealousy didn't last long...for once, I'm going the Non-Instant Gratificataion Route. It's an interesting and educational journey.
So, hello, again....it's good to be back and on the same trip as all of you strong, smart folks. Thanks for the shelter, the incentive and the encouragment.
Take care,
Laurel
