    Yeah, but it was vacation...which means that it was worth it. There are weeks that I plan on not caring what I eat. Thanksgiving comes to mind. I didn't get to be 300lbs by not knowing how to cook. Everyone comes here (usually 40-50 people) because all you have to say to my friends is "Melinda is cooking free food" and EVERYONE shows up. They make jokes that so many people show up that I probably feed half the homeless population too and wouldn't even know it :# You're doing great though!! Now that vacation is over, you're going to stay in onderland for sure!

    Good job!! Post a PIC! You and I are on a trend. I wish more members shared their success stories with pictures.[/quote]

    I'll try to get some up this week. 99% of my adult life was spent around the 200-215 mark and I gained to 315 in just over a year after getting really sick, bell's palsey, and continuous high doses of prednisone. I think I only have 1 or 2 pics of me in the last year because I didn't really do anything except recover. I am also having a perception problems because even though I have lost 65+ lbs now, I am still fatter than any of my pics or where my body is use to being. I really don't think that I will feel like I have lost any weight until onederland

    Super cute dress! You're doing fantastic! We have just about the same fashion sense, but I can't wear sleeveless right now because of the outrageous farmer's tan that I am rocking right now B)

    Well guys, I'm out for a least the next two months. I will still continue to log personally. Saturday I hurt my knee and there is about a 50% chance I'll need surgery. The other option is a knee brace for at least 6 weeks. I'll know more once I get in with the orthopedic hopefully sometime this week.

    You don't have to leave Ms. Kitty! You can still hang out with us in the cool cat club. I hope that you feel better soon and that you won't need surgery! :)

    STILL FOLLOW PROTOCOL - rest your injury - don't fret about surgery - don't backslide! You can use this time to re-evaluate and take care of YOU! We're hear for you

    I have horrible issues with salt: I can be +/- 5 lbs or more depending on how much salt I eat in a day. At least I can usually get rid of it in 2 days.

    Can I join in? I just started my journey (again) last month, but what I’m doing is working and I have gained a lot of confidence in the “I can do this” category. I started July 1 at my highest weight ever and am currently down almost 20 lbs. just looking for accountability and encouragement. Feel free to add me as a friend, I can use all the encouragement I can get!

    I haven’t taken very many pictures, but here’s a face to face comparison. 18 lbs difference since July 1. Ignore the makeup free face- ugh! I feel good and feel like people will start noticing a difference in me soon too.
