No you sure can't beat that! It was close to 100 here today!

The house next to mine is for sale.... Welcome to the neighborhood!!

I work from home so that would be possible for me.....but you would have to find my husband a job. hahaha

What a joyful journey you are having! You're living "Bariatric life" as it is supposed to be. It's a joy for me just following your success!

That's so great!!! I hope to be as successful!!! Congrats!

That's so fantastic! Congratulations! You're where I can't wait to be!!

@Caribear I know I've seen those.....I think it's best for me to avoid them for a while.....I want to track my weight loss for a few more weeks and see if it continues at the higher rate or if this week was just a fluke.

I stopped eating them for the longest time for the very same reason. Now about 5 months later I have gone back to eating them but I portion them out and so far, I have been good about sticking to that portion when I do have them which is not every day. If in the future I slip, they simply won't get to stay a part of my food plan any longer.

@Djmohr you sound exactly like me.....I was weighing and measuring but it was still hard for me to stick to just one serving, and I was having them everyday!......so time out for now! Later I'll try again, and if I have the same problem gone they will be......The one thing I do have control over is them coming into the house...hahaha

And @Valentina.....Due to a freak accident about 10 years ago I'm already missing a toe...so I can't afford to loose anymore...hehehe

OMG! That is tooo funny! Not really, but YES! That is too funny. sorry... Listen: my father only had one toe (froze his feet) and my mother had nine (paper factory cutter) so all of us offspring have ten. Genetics are amazing...

@Valentina My little pinky toe got caught in the leg of a vanity chair in my bathroom when I was stepping out of the tub.....still makes me cringe to think about it!!! the good news is now I get to ask for a 10% discount when I get a pedi!! haha

Sugar maples, Daaaling. It's the sugar maples that add the fire red to the mix. We must compare photos come Fall. It's on, sista!!!!!

@Valentina Oh I will take you up on that challenge!! I can't wait for fall!!! It's been in the triple digits here almost everyday over the last week ....yesterday it was cooler only into the low 90's.....but that was just because of the rain.....So it was more like a steam bath. As far as I'm concerned fall can not get here fast enough!!

@Caribear I love fall as well! It's my favorite time of year and just thinking about it makes me feel good inside. The cabin I found is in Pigeon Forge TN...and is close to Dollywood. I'm not much for theme parks but Dollywood is my exception. I love all the music shows and this fall the focus will be old time gospel............so one of our days we'll spend at Dollywood and the the rest of our time we'll spend hiking to different waterfalls. I'm half way to my goal weight now so by October I should be in good shape to get back out on the trails. Happy Fall Y'all!!!

Yep! been there done that!....(random observation...we need a "like" button on status comments).. :-)

Agreed!

Friday will be the magic day. Why? I haven't a clue...

Glad you are okay, I am from south Louisiana and my husband is from Florida so we are both familiar with hurricanes. We had a lot of family and friends we were worried about this time. So sorry about your fishy

I was born in Miami in the middle of Hurricane Cleo...how's that for dating myself And I'm still thankful my mom didn't name me Cleo!

@kmorri - video was sad/but good - don't go on fb much - so you gave me an eyeful @ShelterDog64 - or should i call you Cleo? LOLOLOL, probably some parents DID name their kids cleo that year LOL kathy

Yay! Congratulations!

Congratulations!

YAY !!!!!

You are AWESOME!!! So happy for you!

Milestones are exciting. 89 down in 6 mths is amazing.

Well done! Awesome result!

Congratulations!!!!!

Fantastic! Well Done! Congratulations

Yay, great job!

Well! You just blew that girl crush out of the water.

That's fabulous!! And I love your new photo, too!

@ ShelterDog64 Thanks! :-)

Good Luck to you!

this time next week you will be salivating for pureed food!

*squee*

I'm doing fabulous @TheOdysseyOfAStoutMan! Yes, @Valentina the weeds take up way way too much energy!!! Have a great week everyone!

Hey Kmorri - glad to hear you are doing well. is it time for a newer pic???

Not yet! I want to make a BIG impact...haha

That is fantastic! Go you!

Nice job!

Pretty soon you won't be able to sit comfortably......I walked my butt off too, literally nothing left and my damn tailbone hurts now. LOL

Fantastic! Congrats!

Thats wonderful! Did you have any stalls along the way? If so, at what point?

Thanks,

Tami_Lynn

@Tami_Lynn no I really haven't had any stalls to speak of.....each week I've lost "something".....I had a week or two that it was less than a pound but each week it's been something.....

ONEderland is ONEderful!!!...and boy have my feet ever hit the ground....getting almost 15,000 steps a day! But it feels so great! I'm lovin' life!

HA! wonderful!!! I am still limited to short walks until after my skin surgery. Start walking--heading North---Catskill Mts....

haha I wonder how many steps that would be?..haha I can't wait for you to have your surgery! I'm really excited for you, but nervous too...I know it would be scary to me....You're a trooper!

YEA!

So close! It will happen though.

countdown, countdown - 4, 3, 2, 1 - and there you g - i "dub" you normal!!! Kathy

yeah!!!!!

@kmorri - how are you feeling today????

Pretty good Jane. seems like I have a really good day and then the next is not as good...,not really bad but just not as good. Yesterday I had a lot of gas pain and today is my first day back to work (thank God I work from home)....but I'm really tired feeling today.

Kmorri - you going to Riverside, right? Make sure you ask about how late you can drink water and drink as long as you can. The "leak" test isn't done sometimes as fast as you think and you will be sooo thirsty. Good luck, Dr. Uchal is great!

Agree! Time is going by very quickly. I am looking forward to following your success! :-)

I am scheduled for this Monday. Nervous but very exected!

Yes Jane13 I'll be at Riverside. And they've already told me nothing after midnight the night before surgery.

Yummy, what kind? lol Purging your house of the bad stuff I suppose

I don't remember what kind but I sure remember searching my house up and down looking for them...crazy!

old fashion molasses ????? OMG!!! Now I'm depressed...

need a new picture!!!!!

I will once I meet the above milestones. :-)

OMG that would drive me crazy

yeah!!!

My eyes are turning green with envy---wait! they are naturally green! anyway I have been pulled out of the gym and the pool until after my skin surgery.--just short walks for me. I miss the pool. Now I'm trying to do laps in the bathtub... oh, bother....

YAY!!!!

Have a wonderful visit. I do plan on "visiting" with Dad on Sunday @ the cemetery.--no tears, just great memories.

That's what it's all about...great memories!

I think so too. I actually take a picnic lunch of his favorite (a wurst and sauerkraut and a boiled potato_). I sit there with a family photo album and let the memories flow. Good quiet time.

good luck next week!!! - speedy recovery - kathy

I KNOW!!!! I'm kinda freaking out myself!!

I'm starving! I sure hope I can get though the next 6 days. Anyone else feel that way? I'm on 4 shakes a day.

Glad to hear you are doing so well! Great job ;D

Kick ass @kmorri!!

So you ARE having a joyful journey!!! Maavelous, Daaling.
