Oops I forgot, I will be seeing someone in about 60 days who has not seen me in a while and I want to look as good as possible!

Go get 'em! You'll look awesome, I am sure! You've done incredibly well!

I kind of missed my June 1 picture deadline. But I haven't been hitting it nearly hard enough to warrant any pics. That's changing, though!

We in America have a long Independence Day weekend coming. Four days at the beach! I'm going to watch my diet, work out really hard, catch maximum rays, and then celebrate Independence Day by snapping off a pic or two.

I also would have qualified to get stomach surgery had I gone in at the 250 weight with borderline diabete, high blood pressure and sleep apnea. I envy the quickness with which all those that get " the sleeve" get results.

OK, I have been off and on these threads since 2012. I was 252, by 2013 I was 200 and dying to see less. Well I got down to 190 lbs by 2014 and then 170 and then back up to 190 but never back higher then that.

Sooooo, I am 5'3" and female. Right now I am about 185 and determined to get smaller. I am very thankful that I haven't weighed over 200 lbs since maybe early 2014. But....I want to lose another 40 to 45 and certainly at my height that will not make me thin,

I have a minimum wage job making phone calls. I can walk the half hour to work and back and don't have to care about appearance. I try and walk EVERYWHERE even in the rain. The problem is food. Cheap food, free food packs on the pounds. Can't tell you how many churches and such hand out white bread, pies, cakes and tons and tons of chips and then maybe a box of pasta noodles. I am now trying to figure out how to eat for less and HEALTHY.

The other issue is free chips is tough to resist!!!

No kidding! I read once that "you can't out-train a bad diet" and man, is that true! Eating right is way harder than training at the gym, at least for me.

I also read once that at the grocery store, we should only buy stuff that's on the outside of the space. That's true, too! But I find myself shopping at those inside shelves way too much.

But you have an excuse! I hope the rehab is going well and is done soon.

I have not been doing well! Back up to 189!!!!
