You are an inspiration!!! Thank you for your update post.

I am 5'4" and am 278 (bleh) this morning on doctor's scale. I start my liquid fast 11/05/12 and my surgery is 11/13. Less than a month away. I cannot wait to be under 250 again. And then 225. Once I get under 200 I am going to take a trip to Celebrate with my best friend. I haven't been under 200 in about 5 years.

Keep up the amazing work! You are going to succeed and rock it!!!

The hardest thing was knowing the difference between being hungry and head hunger. And not being able to take big swigs of drink. I know everyone says this but honestly it gets easier and goes by so quick!

I'm just starting to feel head hunger today and I would be fine if like right now as I sip my cream of celery Soup my mother wasn't downstairs frying corn fritters-my childhood favorite! For the love of God, woman have you no mercy! I was thrilled with my cream soup addition to my diet yesterday but the smell is making me naseaus and craving to eat it at the same time! Ewe! So greasy! She's trying to kill my family! I know she means well, but she's here from Florida to help take care of me. She's enjoying the fall weather. Yesterday it was roast pork with gravy and mashed potatoes! Aaaaahhhh! And she's always been trim! It's all good! Had to vent!

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
