This is my favorite sweater, I’ve had it for years and it’s a bit big now but I don’t mind. Unlike most people here I am always hot (temperature wise) so I can’t handle thick sweaters.

1. My goal is to get into onederland….(no joy this morning) and then beyond. Mostly, I'm loving how fit I feel and I want to keep that going. Oh yes, working on lowering that BMI. Continue my yoga teacher training and gym.

2. Sleeve on 12/12/18. Still losing...slowly but surely. Current weight is 200.2 and BMI of 37.

3. Anywhere abs.

4. Right now, I don't know what sweater fits me so not sure of my favorite. I haven't gotten them out of summer storage yet. Will have to update this one later.

Okay so I’m in!

Personal goal: hit GW this month. I’m less than 5 pounds away.
Surgery type: VGS on 2-6-19
Weight as of last Friday was 158.8. BMI 24.9 (finally NORMAL range)
I’m going to choose anywhere abs
Honestly don’t have a fave sweater bc this is my first fall PO. prior to this year, I didn’t have many sweaters bc I’ve always been so hot-natured. Gonna need to find a fave. How fun!

Oh and because its October, I’m gonna put this here in honor of myself and all of my sisters who have battled, or who has had a friend or loved one battle this beast.

I know but I absolutely can't live without carbs... In every vegetable and fruit. I don't eat much fruit but veg and legumes are my forever diet so I made my peace 1+ years ago that I would be perfectly happy in this range forever if it meant I thoroughly could enjoy life ... And I do 😍

      It has hit me today, as I sit in my chair at work that I don't have my belly sticking out to where it would hit the desk. Oh and I can cross my legs more comfortably. It amazes me just how much I have loss in inches vs actual pounds, I have lost 24 lbs all together. But I believe in inches all over about 3 inches. I am noticing more energy and have pep to my step. My skin is a lot clearer. My watch band is shorter by 3 notches. the little things are what I am noticing. When I bend over I don't feel out of breath or I am going to fall overΒ (Β weeble wobble).Β 
      I am having a hard time with my sweet tooth, it is very hard to not want to get some ice cream or chocolate. Candy I can do without. I have no craving really for that, just chocolate and ice cream. I have gone as far as taking Popsicle and putting them in my mixer with almond milk and making likeΒ ice cream with that/ sometimes I have added un-flavored protein powder.Β 
      I feel better everyday. The energy is great to have with having younger kids and being able to have the energy to keep up. πŸ˜ƒ

      If anyone has any advice on how to make your stomach feel better after you eat something you shouldn't have or at too fast, I would GREATLY appreciate it!! It's painful on both sides of my abdomen (like to the point I'm doubled over and using a hot water bottle in addition to medicine) and I'm really nauseous (the thought or smell of food is 🀒).
