Well, surgery is in five days. Optifast is going very well (although last evening as I was chugging it on my way into Bluesfest I had the odd thought that it is probably the last time I will "chug" anything!). Jumped on the scale this morning and I am at 250, which makes it an even hundred to get to goal and a pre-op loss of 53.5 pounds since December.

I got a few things to do this weekend, like mow my lawn, rearrange my furniture, etc. but other than that - I'm just ticking off the days until it is my turn!

In order to succeed, your desire for success should be greater than your fear of failure.

Wow, wow, wow...you are concentrating hard on the prize. Do you have someone lined up to mow the lawn while you are incapacitated or do you anticipate that the activity of walking will move the gas out of your body?
