Wow, that is really impressive! Congratulations!!!! That's a very IMPORTANT NSV!!!

I need to have mine checked again. It was still stuck on 5.9 last time, but I'm really hoping it has gone down.

Hey Girl! 5.9 is nothing to sneeze at! I think that's great too!

Yeah, it's okay. I have to really work to keep it there.

No, actually it's really good! It means that you're in good control and that your average blood sugar is running less than 132. That's very good! It's within normal limits.

When you do return to work? How long are you taking off?

Yeah, it was very fortunate timing that I was eligible to apply this year. Otherwise it would have been very difficult to even get two weeks off in a row, since I also teach during summer semester.

I did no dancing. Not sure you could call what the kids did dancing either...more like foreplay. You'd be horrified to see how teenagers dance these days (wow, I sound old). Lots of grinding and they don't ever face each other.

Luckily, all my purchases at Party City were covered by the school.

lol I don't want to know what the teenages are doing my oldest just started high school this year.... yikes!!!!!:biggrin:

My legs appear shorter too, but I think it's because of the hanging skin. If I wear the Spanx and pull everything up where it belongs (I know, bad visual) I fit in a Tall - if not, I need a regular. It's not so good!

I thought I was the only one who had to pull up the stuff in front. If I didn't have all that front end, I know I'd be in wee size pants. Wee size for me that is.

Hello everyone...its been a long time. How are you dee? Your new picture is beautiful....you look so thin. My weight was stable for awhile and then lost another 5 lbs recently. I still can't believe I am in the 160's. I do wish I could afford a Tummy Tuck. I would like to be on the new challenge but I lose very slow now. I really need to start exercising again. Been bad about that. I guess I could try for 5 lbs for the Halloween challenge. Congrats to everyone on their continued weight loss.

Hey Bella!

I think about you all of the time and wonder how you're doing! I can't believe that you weigh in the 160's. My dream is to be in Onederland.

I have come so far, but I have so far to go that sometimes I get discouraged. I want to start living my life at a healthy normal weight so I'll just keep plugging along!

72 days til my TT and Brachioplasty! I can't wait!

Miss dee, you are such a freakin' rock star. I think when you get your surgeries, you are going to be amazed at how good you look and feel, and how that will give you a whole new burst of resolve. You have done such an amazing job, and the rest of us could take a big lesson from you.

Yep, I was surprised at how much my labs changed after surgery. Still happy to be taking one less pill.

I got stuck tonight. It was annoying, but fortunately whatever it was went through after a bit of cacking. chicken breast is dangerous. I wonder what I missed since I eat chicken breast all the stupid time.

I do Soup and soft meats and really haven't tried anything tough. I do have an addiction to Cookie Crisp. I crave it now. Fortunately, you can eat quite a bit of it for a low calorie count. I am having some oatmeal. I eat a lot of oatmeal, probably extra for the next couple days, just in case. It seems to stick with me and has other benefits. Avoid peaches and cream flavor, yick.

I have to start exercising too. I get some every day, but have to get back into the workout program.

      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.
