      How are you doing msspicebaby? I hope all is well. My husband had 2 strokes and surgery on his carotid artery the first week in April, so things have been anything but normal here. He gets to come home next week, and I am so glad. Very blessed to have God and wonderful friends and family. Praying you are on the track to a more healthy long life ahead of you as well.

  15. Back down to where I was... onward and downward!

  16. Officially moved my weight back up 2 pounds... I haven't done that before because a day or two weight gain always dropped back down but this one's been around long enough now to change the tracker. :( Oh well... onward and upward -- I'm gonna keep doing what's worked so far.

      For sure...just keep on keeping on!! I have moved up a pound or two, but mine usually fall back off too. My longest stall period I stayed between 209 and 211 for nearly a month! Finally lost down to 205, but they are coming off much slower now. Maybe a pound or pound and a half a week. Hoping to see it move faster again soon!

      jodie1961

      Isn't it a great feeling to pack up those clothes? I have a big black trash bag full of clean, folded clothes. I add to it each week. Need to find a consignment shop to resell them.

  23. The best part about being a normal size is not the great vast clothes you can fit into but how you fit into them.
