And you are smaller than the weight you lied about weighing last time.

Yeah don't come to Ohio, although they finally deleted the Social Security numbers off the licenses they do still put weights. Back when I was still working at Wal-Mart, my assigned area was right next to Sporting Goods so often I would go over there, and sell Hunting and Fishing ones. Guy. asked me " Why do I need my weight on my Hunting License?"I told him, if someone shoots you we'll have an easier time identifying the BODY.
So many years I have claimed 250 as a weight, now that I am well below that -''I had better make an honest woman of myself!

In Massachusetts, they put your AGE on your driver's license.

My NSV from this morning is my BMI is 29.9. I've gone from obese to overweight!

Ready to do that myself, just almost ready to surmount. the Onederland boundary.
Hey I have a new NSV! On our local shuttle buses there is an arm rest between seats you can flip up to sit down, leaving local hospital , visited the ER on a little bowel-related issue, sat down on the seat without flipping it up, and I didn't have to flip the center one up to get enough room for my over-sized backside to sit. Baby's Backside Cheeks going Bye Bye and I plan it to be forever! Not only was it BIG before but it had an upward swoop line a Ducks, my kids when they were in a Gerry backpack would put their feet down on it, and stand up while I was hiking along. Was nothing for me to walk to Westerville, Worthington or over to the Ohio State University district. Now I moan at walking 4-5 blocks, oh I do it, but I still moan!
And after years of owning up to 250, even when I was over 300, I can't,pass for that weight anymore, not when I am ready for the 100s! Yippety Skippee Yahoo for ME!

Had a great NSV today.

My spa has normal/plus size robes for us ladies.

Today the tech led me over to the lockers with the normal size robes.
Could hardly believe it!

LOL I subtracted 88 on mine 🤦‍♀️

I went to get my license with all of my friends and I was a little embarrassed to write my actual weight on the application in front of all of them. Oh well. I'm hoping to get to that weight soon!

Just had Ambulatory Surgery to remove a cyst, not feeling too bad, getting over the General they gave ME. My new NSV, I no longer need the "OMG--- Just How Big ARE YOU," size, I got a "Normal" and had enough room it met in the back, so no more "Moon over Miami" for ME!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
