This is my favorite sweater, I’ve had it for years and it’s a bit big now but I don’t mind. Unlike most people here I am always hot (temperature wise) so I can’t handle thick sweaters.

1. My goal is to get into onederland….(no joy this morning) and then beyond. Mostly, I'm loving how fit I feel and I want to keep that going. Oh yes, working on lowering that BMI. Continue my yoga teacher training and gym.

2. Sleeve on 12/12/18. Still losing...slowly but surely. Current weight is 200.2 and BMI of 37.

3. Anywhere abs.

4. Right now, I don't know what sweater fits me so not sure of my favorite. I haven't gotten them out of summer storage yet. Will have to update this one later.

Same! Eat beans... 5lbs Water gain immediately 😂

[Sheribear68 3,200]

Okay so I’m in!

Personal goal: hit GW this month. I’m less than 5 pounds away.
Surgery type: VGS on 2-6-19
Weight as of last Friday was 158.8. BMI 24.9 (finally NORMAL range)
I’m going to choose anywhere abs
Honestly don’t have a fave sweater bc this is my first fall PO. prior to this year, I didn’t have many sweaters bc I’ve always been so hot-natured. Gonna need to find a fave. How fun!

Oh and because its October, I’m gonna put this here in honor of myself and all of my sisters who have battled, or who has had a friend or loved one battle this beast.

This is why carbs— even healthy ones frighten me so badly
That’s something else I’m going to work on this month: my fear of healthy carbs

I know but I absolutely can't live without carbs... In every vegetable and fruit. I don't eat much fruit but veg and legumes are my forever diet so I made my peace 1+ years ago that I would be perfectly happy in this range forever if it meant I thoroughly could enjoy life ... And I do 😍
