I was riding my motorcycle the other day and got off to go into the store and a woman walking by was smiling real big and asked "how does such a tiny lady handle such a big bike". I haven't been referred to as tiny since...well never. I was on cloud 9 for the rest of the day.

Debbie - you look great & so healthy!

Go Walking - you are an inspiration to me and help us all remember all the little things we are missing when it comes to our weight loss/journey!

Chasing a Dream - you aren't chasing your dream - you are living it - look at those numbers

Sandy & CG - you have changed your whole lives and with every single post I want to be just like you!

& CG - you keep me in check - I don't want to get smacked by your pink feathery whip (although some people might think that was a little kinky) LOL

My NSV today is this. For the second time in three days, I am moving my younger daughter's college stuff out of her 14th floor dorm and bringing a carload home. Although my joints are hurting from my arthritis, I have not been out of breath even once. This is amazing to me, because less than six months ago, I could not walk even half a block with empty arms without getting winded. Now less than nine weeks postop, I can do all of this with ease and feel so much healthier. The surgery has truly saved my life.

I'm so happy! I've ditched the seat belt extender and flew to Europe with belt inches to spare! I walked the airports without getting winded. This trip is gonna be amazing! Five more hours until I'm reunited with my daughter who hasn't seen me since way before pre-op. I was even able to eat on the six hour flight to Dublin. I made sure to chew really well and take my time. On to Italy now. I feel like a normal person for a change!

Last Sunday, 2 hrs from home, we had major car trouble and ended up dropping the car off at at a repair shop and unexpectaly staying overnight in a nice hotel. Grabbed a pkg of undies and some pajamas, both mediums from Walmart. Tried them on at the hotel, THEY FIT JUST FINE !!!!! Well, Happy Mothers Day to me !!!

I average about 30,000 air miles a year so six years without a seat extender is truly a blessing.

Just completed my second triathlon. I never DREAMED I could do one- and now I've done 2!!!!!!

[SandyM 1,956]

This is not big for most but huge for me. I rode 6 miles on my bicycle yesterday. I haven't been on a bike in over 30 years????

Awesome feeling I bet love that normal is our normal now too !!!! Can't wait to fly in July and check out this seatbelt thing. Even planing to zip line on my vacation n my best friend ask in a positive way U reached the weight requirement . Grinning ear to ear I said yup secretly inside thinking first time in my life my weight isn't preventing me from trying something new.

Going for that short hair cut I wanted next weekend trying a new stylist as well my normal hairdresser I think would try to talk me out of it . I have had the same hair do more or less for the last 8 years or so. I have changed so much I need a change as well so shorter and chunkier highlights or blonder here I come.

About cutting hair. 4 years ago I cut off over 1 foot of hair. I went on line and looked at Raquel Welch's wig site. Best wigs that look like real hair. I went short and spiky and I was around 58-59 at the time. I printed 2-4 pictures and my hair dresser and I chose would look best for me. Been like that since. Good luck. I am a natural red head and hair red, hi lites and low lites and love it. Time for a new cut and color next week.

Good luck. Be brave!!
