I think its really funny you and I posted this at the same time! And congratulations!
I forgot to say congrats to @pofoster21 and @kellienw335 on the NSV's today!! Outstanding! Yay!!!
I've recently been able to wear some jeans and work pants I'd put away about 4-5 years ago because I'd outgrown them. Yay for pants victories!!

Wed I had doctor consults for my surgeries all day and...discussed it with DH and I booked surgeries for 10/30! 2 surgeons estimated they'd remove about 8 lbs of skin, the 3rd and 4th ones said it'd be closer to 10 lb. Either way, in 10.5 weeks I'll be having surgery! Yippie! I'm a candidate for insurance covering some of it, but we're preparing like they won't cover anything, so we'll see... I'm getting a full abdominoplasty with an extended cut to grab skin from the sides and a fleur de lis (vertical) cut which grabs even more. Plus a breast reduction. I'll have extensive scarring but it'll fade and it's worth it.
All 4 docs said not to lose anymore weight, just maintain, because I'm actually on the "skinny side" underneath all the skin. That was weird but I guess it's to be expected. I see myself as lumpy and fat but it's almost all skin- I weighed in at 127 and 128 at 2 of the offices (the other 2 didn't weigh me). If they take 8 lb of skin that puts me at 119-120. I'm 5'4.5. So now I'm trying to figure out how to eat enough to maintain.
Awesome, and exciting, and a little terrifying! Congrats to you!
Ditto.
@xLoveLikeWinterx
I forget do you have a Fitbit or a Jawbone? If you do you could set your account to be sedentary & enable negative calories & then eat back the extra calories the device gives you.
If you don't then I would recommend Scooby's Workshop & playing around with their accurate online calorie calculator.
I want to lose a little bit more (around 161-163 & would love to get back down to around 145-150). I would also love to have my arms done & legs.0 -

I could use some positive thoughts today. My mom's 10 year old Shih Tzu, Sadie, had to go in to the emergency vet on Saturday morning. They found she had an obstruction in her intestines. Yesterday afternoon they were able to get it out, but there was a lot of bleeding because it has cut up her insides. And of course now there is the risk of infection. My mom would only be allowed to take her home today if Sadie would eat. My mom went at noon, it's now 2:00 and she's still there
I'm hoping she will be able to come home today, I know my mom will be devastated if Sadie doesn't make it.
I am so sorry to hear that! Positive thoughts coming your way!0 -

Oh no! I'm so sorry. I'm sending good thoughts your way and Sadie's way. Your poor mom! I lost my sweet 1 1/2 year old cat earlier this year to an emergency type situation and I'm still mourning him. I hope Sadie gets well and is able to come home soon. Hugs!

I'm still over here running up and down stairs and shrinking out of my darn clothes, but not much else is new in my world. We leave for Peru on September 5 and I think I'll be in good trekking shape as long as the altitude doesn't hit me too hard. I can manage up to 200 flights of stairs in one workout and I've done a few 5K runs at about 9:45 min/mile without really feeling winded, so I think 18 km days of hiking shouldn't be toooo challenging considering that I've done 14-15 km just with normal walking and the stair workout on a few different days.

One of my biggest regrets was giving my friend back a shirt he gave me a year before I started trying to lose because it was too small.
I'm sorry about to hear about your mom's Sadie @ShibaEars
@xLoveLikeWinterx It's great to hear that insurance will cover something! I just switched my Fitbit to maintain, but if you want to go at it more slowly, you can bump your calories by 100 or so a week until you stop losing.
@lilaclovebird I really hate what some coworkers can get away with. I hope you're able to sort everything out and give more time for yourself. Family is obviously important, but they need to understand that you also have your own life to live.
@KylerJaye I hope the next one turns out better.
@peleroja I feel ya on the not being too chatty. Things haven't been getting worse, but I've just been feeling kinda blech and would rather read or watch tv than be social. It definitely sounds like you'll do fine on your trip.
@raelynnsmama52512 Oh god, that is a lot on your plate. I hope it all goes well.
Ever since my sister became a teacher, I've tried to be a little more aware about those who serve the public, like folks in service, police, and paramedics. It's crazy how much some people are able do.

We feed our dogs a raw diet, and haven't had an incident in the 7 years since we switched. My mom bought a new brand though , and it has a lot larger chunks of bone so it ended obstructing her colon.0 -
@orangesmartie I hope Charlie has had a wonderful birthday today!! ❤️0

Which brand is it? I really wanted to switch my cat to a raw diet after all my research but my parents wouldn't allow me to keep the meats in the house.Italian_Buju wrote: »I could use some positive thoughts today.

Decided to dig some pants to wear today out of the dry cleaner bags in my closet and I went through 3 pairs of pants before I found a pair that 'sort of' fit. Rest were ridiculously huge. I am starting to wear skirts EVERY day as nothing fits me anymore. And I haunt Marshalls for pants that fit me but they haven't had anything good. I am sad to lose all these really nice pants. But they were folded and put in the 'to be donated' pile.
That's an awesome NSV @pofoster21! I hate when I go to TJ's & Marshall's & cannot find anything I like or what I do like is ridiculously expensive.

Well, I lived in the United States at the time, so it was an extremely rare name. It's actually an uncommon name in Oman as well, but it's extremely common in Sudan (I know like... Three Sudani ladies with my name, and that's with my very limited social circle!) and fairly common in Saudi Arabia.
My back is finally starting to improve, and we went to Bahrain today! We saw Inside Out, and I LOVED it. It was amazing and super great! I didn't even need painkillers today, and that's with 5 hours in the car and two hours of sitting in the movie theater.

firstly, congrats to the NSV ladies!!! keep kickin butt!
and of course...
*post date update*
saturday evening.
ok, so dude says he'll meet me at a local establishment (i'm going strong in keeping it in walking distance!), and it'll take him about 45 minutes to get there. ok, seeya soon!
45 minutes comes and goes and dude is no where to be found.
now he says his gps got him lost, making him almost a full half hour late. i'm thinking he just left his house later than he said and ended up late. six of one, half dozen of another....
dude says he's finally arrived, i walk over to the establishment, he's no where to be found. swell. send me a msg that he's at a different location and can't i just meet him there? umm...no. i gave him the directions to get from the place he's at to the originally agreed upon locale.
we go in, sit at the bar,i have a redds while he's sippin vodka crans after his original sweet tea vodka with iced tea order was denied (completely pointless detail, but i found it really amusing at the time).
so, sitting at the bar, the dude has basically no conversation skills. mind you i'm not the greatest conversationalist, but at least i try. so we're getting no where fast so i suggest we go play pool. and he says naw, i'm not really very good at it. seriously? so i say, well i'm not either, so we'll really get our monies worth with the length of the game. so at least at this point the random awkward silences are disguised.
dude was nice enough, but literally there was no chemistry what so ever. play two games of pool, have a few drinks, minor chit chat, it's gettin kinda late and he says he should probably get going so he doesn't fall asleep behind the wheel.
OK! BYE!
sigh...this blows... Awww I'm sorry, keep trying though. It's a bit like job interviews, the failed ones are practise for Mr. Right 0 -

A coworker, however, had to evacuate yesterday and may lose his home. I've been thinking of, and praying for, him all day. His name is Dave, if anyone wants to chip in.
You got it, Dave is on the list. Fire is my fear. My neighbors' house burned in 30 minutes when I was 10 and years later my friend Teresa died in a house fire because the landlord (also a candidate for *kitten* of the year) had painted the windows shut.
W.o.w. How awful terrifying that must have been for her
I think it would have been, but she went back into the house for her son. She managed to throw her son over the beam that had fallen from the ceiling blocking the front door and I've always thought of her dying thinking what she always said. "I'd die for that kid." Timothy goes to school with my son and is doing very well after a couple of years of therapy.
Awww that's tragic. Her final act of heroism was saving her son, which I think any mother would do.0 -

Thinking good-dog thoughts for Sadie, @ShibaEars, sending some relaxing post-party vives over to @orangesmartie, feeling proud of @pofoster21 for a major trouser victory, and hoping that @KylerJaye's bad-date luck turns around a bit.
I've read everything but I haven't been feeling super chatty lately, my apologies if I missed out replying to anyone else with a big victory or difficulty!
I'm still over here running up and down stairs and shrinking out of my darn clothes, but not much else is new in my world. We leave for Peru on September 5 and I think I'll be in good trekking shape as long as the altitude doesn't hit me too hard. I can manage up to 200 flights of stairs in one workout and I've done a few 5K runs at about 9:45 min/mile without really feeling winded, so I think 18 km days of hiking shouldn't be toooo challenging considering that I've done 14-15 km just with normal walking and the stair workout on a few different days.

It's good to hear from you! Sounds like you're going to do fine on your trek trip.
I think Maggie Lucille may run the country one day, if she wants to. It's a bit exhausting to get her to listen when your plan (say for Sunday School) isn't the same as her plan. "Maggie, I know you are *a* leader, but in this room, I am *the* leader and we follow *my* plan." She makes quite convincing arguments that one should do it her way. There's never a dull moment in Heather's house.
Ha ha well it sounds encouraging! She will go far! But yes, I can see how that would be exhausting

I can relate to this. My name is hyphenated (common in France - my mum is French). I was obsessed with making sure people were aware of this as a child. Not so common where I grew up (UK).
Also if you called me by only the first part of my name, I would make a point of ignoring you. I have two first names because I am a special snowflake, use them! It's the only time I ever got in trouble in school, due to a teacher repeatedly cutting off my hyphenated name so I never answered the register or anything. My mum told the teacher if you want her to answer you should call her by her name. My mum is a teacher too, that showed him!0
