    You're welcome - all the best to you! By the way, my PCOS symptoms are pretty much GONE. It really is true that disorders like that ease up as you lose fat. So I'm hoping the same for you. I grew up near the Canadian Border (BC area) and still remember French Sesame Street. :)

    No longer obese is the BEST news. I can’t imagine how good that must feel!

    I’ve such a long ways to go and my tummy is literally a massive issue for me. I’ve really found your thread to be most inspirational. Looking forward to seeing your continued success x

    We'll shrink those darn bellies together! And yeah, it feels great. :)

    Thank you so much! I gained a bit over Thanksgiving but expected that - I think it's mostly water. Am now challenging myself during December to do at least 50 unloaded squats every other day, and on my off days do at least 50 counter pushups, with the goal to replace some of those with knee pushups and work toward proper pushups. I haven't been able to do knee pushups that well till recently because my belly was getting in the way. That's where I carry most of my weight.

    Thanks - I guess I have my youth. At 41 it's starting to feel like I don't, but I do feel a good bit younger than I did this time last year!

    Thank you! I'm definitely working on some recomp now - I just wish the remaining blubber would come off faster. Well, it has, but still. I'll be 42 in June so I'm not too far behind, but I tell you I feel ten years younger than I did when I began this journey a year ago.

    Latest numbers from my scale - taking them with a grain of salt but they are showing consistently with previous results: Fat percentage 29.5, muscle 30, weight 161.4. Hips 41, waist 35.
