    Right? What better way to control healthcare costs than for everyone to take responsibility for their own well-being?

    ~ Rhonda, Terry, langman22, paulag - WELCOME! I'm "fairly" new too and my advice is to just jump right in! Don't worry about trying to keep up - these ladies are pretty active in their posts, and I'm often not able to respond to everyone individually. Don't feel bad if you don't! You're with a great group!

    ~ Lisa - that T-shirt tapestry ROCKS!!

    ~ Machka - thanks for sharing your experience with loose skin and how long it takes to "tighten" back up. My daughter is down 180+ pounds (gastric sleeve) since November, and is very depressed about all her loose skin. She feel fantastic tho, and I've explained to her that she needs to now focus much more on strength training, and WAIT to have skin removal surgery. I reminded her a good friend also had significant skin problems after having a similar weight loss in a short period of time, and she had skin removal surgery within 6 mo's of reaching her "goal" weight - unfortunately, that didn't do much for when she continued to lose MORE weight, and had no muscle tone or definition. NOW she's got all the scars from the surgery, but still has sagging skin. She'd have to have surgery again to correct it. Instead, she has waited, got into a workout routine, and has "tightened" up the skin on her arms and legs as much as possible, and her midsection too. Thanks for sharing your encouragement!

    ~ Janet - you continue to inspire me! I'd forgotten that you'd had both knees replaced after your tremendous weight loss. I'd love to learn more about this, since I've been extremely reluctant (as you may have read) to consider surgery. I wouldn't dream of it until I get rid of about 60 to 70 more pounds at least. Then I'd be under 200# again. I'd be concerned of how long recovery would be, and gaining anything back while regaining strength and mobility. Maybe you could expound for me about your journey with knee replacements!?!

    ~ Karen - that's EXCELLENT news about your Yorkie!!!

    Much love and respect from Vegas,
    Dorrie aka TrulyDivyn

    Karen in VA ~ Do you give the Yorkie raw eggs? I basically feed the Pom the same thing....rice, cooked chicken, and a tiny bit of ham. Do you mix it all together...eggs, yogurt, rice, and chicken?

    Hi to all the newbies, I'm fairly new myself. Lip is healing well. I am undecided if I will start chewing again tomorrow or if I will wait one more day. The hubs is gone until Friday, so I could just wait for him to get back. I still want to chew but I don't mind the no cooking, prep or cleanup part. Cleaning a blender and a glass is a piece of cake!
