Jennifer – I seemed to lose a clothes size a month – you’ll be back in those 10’s in no time!
Stuck in Grad School – you had me rolling with your dog conversation.
I could just see that in my mind!! I love your list – and I had forgotten all about how bad my feet hurt in the morning. I can’t remember what it was called, but it felt like bone spurs – they had me doing stretching exercises. My feet don’t hurt at all now. And I agree, people do treat me with more respect now. I think they assume you have more self control. It was never about self control with me, I just didn’t know how to eat correctly – or cook simply.
Jstuckly – what a great victory! You’re doing good to resist pizza!!
Goal4Life – I love you list. The comments I get a lot is how much younger I look – amazing how extra weight can make you look older. I love not being sweaty all the time too!
Finz – congrats on the 65 lb board. You seem to be losing really fast and consistently.
Betcoleen – that’s a good idea. I don’t know if I have any pictures from my 42nd birthday, but I do have one from my 41st – and I’d have to say I look younger now!
Denise – I love your new photo!! I remember when you were too afraid to post any photos – you look fantastic!! I love your list too. I have to admit, I used to use the handicap stalls too – I used to tell myself I was claustrophobic! Now I fit just fine in the normal ones. And I love being able to cross my legs and do the leg wrap (where you can cross your legs and wrap your foot around your ankle – bad for your body, I’m sure, but kind of cool feeling).
Melanie – I love your before and after photos – thank you for posting those. You look so much better.
Maintainforlife – health is what brought me to MRC too. Our center is fantastic – just let me know if you want a number in the central time zone. I’m happy to say all my health numbers are in the normal range – bad cholesterol dropped by 50 pts, blood sugars are back in line and bp is normal. Whatever center you decide to join from afar – I think you will find this forum a wonderful support system.
Judy – Hey there super star!! That is wonderful – what you are doing for the tornado relief. Beautiful on the inside and out.
Pbolton1 – what center are you going to? We moved to Nebraska from Crestview, Florida.
I had another OP day. Should be 1 more day before I start hitting the good fat burning again! Have a good evening everyone.
