But I have been doing quite well. After the weekend of illness two weeks ago I thought that I would probably gain back all the weight I had lost quickly - but then I decided to work on it and ta-da I haven’t. I didn’t weigh myself this morning but yesterday I was 177. It’s nice to put on a pair of pants and have them loose. It’s amazing what just 4 or 5 lbs can do.

I’ve been going to the gym and I’ve stepped up the intensity of my cardio. Most days I feel it in my legs. It’s a good kind of mild pain and so far no real knee problems have hit, so it’s all good.

I have a pair of black size 12 jeans and tomorrow - it being a new month - I will try them on. Last time I tried to put them on I could barely get them over my thighs and doing them up would have involved organ removal. :lol: We’ll see how it goes and I’ll report here how it went. For now, they are my goal clothing. Once I get there, and they fit, I’ll pick my next peice of clothing. Lord knows I have many different sized pants shirts jackets and dresses in my closet to pick from.
