Happy Easter! Sunday, March 27th
125.6 - up! Again, no surprise. Work again today. I did end up putting in a full 8 hours yesterday, not sure what today will bring.
Looking forward to seeing puppy pictures. I wish I could cuddle them and smell their sweet puppy breath!
I hope you all have a blessed Holiday!

Dr Ponce de Leon Mexico VSG 4 Jun 12. I lost 57 lbs on my own before having a VSG. This is by far the best thing I have ever done for myself.

Happy Easter All !
My thoughts are with those who have to be away from their families, and those who are struggling.
My food has been on plan. My head is mostly rational...I know I don't have room for negative energy in my life. Everything happens for a reason. I learned a long time ago that we can't count on anyone but ourselves for happiness.
Devon, thanks or your comments. My target range is 134-139 and I've been feeling just right at 131-133. I think 131-136 is a great summer range. 130 is my bottom red line because it is too low for me. I am small and lean enough. I'll have another Bod Pod in May, prior to my one year check up. I'll look at that, my bloodwork, measurements and any redistribution and assess where I am.
Hope to get some vegetable seeding started in inside window boxes, then do some raking. Lamb for dinner.
Have a peaceful Easter, all !

Diane as Devon said, the gaunt look goes away. Most of it within a year of reaching goal, but for me there was further improvement in the second year.
And I'm glad to hear you're putting your relationship struggles in perspective. Not to suggest any kind of change is easy because I know it certainly isn't. People come and go in our lives, geographically and emotionally. You are strong and no one can take that from you.
