I was on a stall for three weeks but have finally broken out of 175 and am on the way down.  I've been getting more exercise now that the weather is better.  Riding my bike for 2+ miles at lunch is making me so happy.  I am having problems with my arm though.  3 weeks ago as I was changing sheets, I felt something snap in my arm.  I was in great pain and nothing helped.  I saw the orthopedic surgeon and he told me that my bicep muscle had detached and broken away from my shoulder and was now down in my arm.  I actually have a big lump where the muscle is.  He also says there's nothing he can do about it.  I need to talk with him again because if I have plastic surgery on my arms, the right one is going to look awful with that big bulge, not to mention it still hurts and gets re-injured if I do something it doesn't like.

It was really funny at the orthoped's office.  The girl who is at the desk used to work with me at city hall for 2 years.  She looked up and said "can I help you?"  I said Kelly, don't you recognize me.  She went "OH my God, Ann, is that you?  You look wonderful".  That made me feel great that somebody who knows me just didn't recognize me.  My orthoped was also very pleased with the weight loss.  He couldn't believe it and kept telling me how good I looked.  I also had someone tell me I've lost enough weight, that I look wonderful.  Wow!  I have 35 more pounds to go but that sure felt good to hear that.
