Well what a difference 20 pounds can make. Yesterday I dropped a pen on the floor---now NORMALLY--that would involve trying to push my gut to the side and holding my breath to bend over as my gut would be crushed and THEN I would have to get up one knee with major grunting and effort!

YESTERDAY---I just bent over and popped right back up---I felt like Reese Witherspoon in Legally Blond doing the SNAP!!:smile::happy:

    That's funny you should say that. Last night we went to the rodeo and the seats are just crammed together. Well, my husband asked me if I wanted him to hold my drink for me (diet coke). I said no because I can actually set it under my seat and bend over to pick it up!!! I couldn't do that a few months ago when we went to the same arena for a basketball game!! That felt really good!!!
