It's Official!!

I have officially lost 50 LBS since my surgery! The scale this morning was at exactly 242.   Including Preop weight loss I am down a total of 69 LBS. Yea!!!   Just a quick note. Shower is waiting.     PS see my album As I Lose to see photo progression.

Another milestone to AWESOMENESS!!

Well I just got back from my first bike ride in...oh...lets say 17 years. I bought this bike a year ago trying to find "fun" ways to exercise. HA! I didn't make it very far before turning back and I was way all over the place that I was a danger to others on the trail.   Anyway, I have now lost 66lbs since then and decided to try it again. It is amazing the difference. I just rode over two miles to the bowling alley, bowled a couple games rode to a restaurant close by and rode back.  

I am this close to boycotting Target

They just opened a new Super Target in town. I needed to get some new jeans (all mine are too big). Just one pair, that's all. I figured its new and it is bigger so they must have a bigger and better selection in the plus size dept.   WRONG!!   The whole "Women's" section consisted of 5 racks of clothes.

Here is what happened.   A rather serious question was asked and a response was given by one member that was not glowing of the band. This member was then "attacked" by others demanding to know why they feel that way and questioning their motives for making such a post. Things went bac

Best day ever!!

Today was a great day. I went down a size in pants. I am now an official size 20. I was at a size 24 (unofficial 26) when I had the "installation". One more size and I will be the same I was in high school. (11 years ago):jaw:   I also made it all the way through my hot yoga class without having to sit down due to dizzyness. Freakin AWESOME! :w00t::tongue2: That was a great feeling and it was very hard not to shout WooHoo! when we completed the standing series and I had made it all the wa

Friendly Observation part 2 of 2

I can understand that anything but glowing reviews and someone blaming the band for all their woes can feel like someone calling your child (or other cherished person) horrible names. But it is truely nothing personal and leave that emotion out of your replies. If you would like more info from that person respectfully ask for more without accusing them of everything in the book.   Does everything really need to be challenged?   I chose to post this in a blog instead of in a forum because I w
