Saw my Dr for my 6 month follow up (7.5 months after surgery!) today and said "We never discussed what mu goal weight should be".  His response?  "I don't believe in goal weights.  As long as your labs are good and any preexisting conditions are under

I'm not a pack rat, I swear! But there are a few things I've saved for whatever reason (like the rocking pony I got for my first Christmas with my dads writing on the bottom of it). In this small amount of things, I saved the dress we got for a luau we

Made yogurt this weekend and it's awesome!  Milk was on sale for $1.75 a gallon so I got LOTS of yogurt for a fraction of what I normally pay!!

Also made pulled pork.  I think I died and went to pork heaven. 

And today at work they had this (both homemade).....

It has arrived and has been used without me turning up on the evening news for blowing up a kitchen!  I did a 6# turkey breast in it tonight and it was the moistest breast meat I have ever cooked!  Cooking time was 30 mins - 10 mins natural release the

This was the first time, when I saw the today picture of me, I saw the weight loss.  Still waiting for my brain to catch up!

I ordered the Instant Pot and should have it Friday.  Hopefully there won't be a news story "local woman blows up kitchen if freak pressure cooker incident" !!

My great nieces came to spend some time before Christmas and the 7 yo was siting on the couch next to me.  I realized she was poking at the back of my arm, you know, the bat wing part!  So i asked her:

"Abby why are you poking me?"

Going through clothing sizes fast right now I was lucky to find a pair of pants that fit my ever changing shape.  They have a drawstring waist.  Yeah.... not a bad thing until you have to pee and get the drawstring knotted!!  Then you look at the toile

I have a potluck at work next week for the holiday party and I was looking for something I could bring but had some eye appeal to it.  I found a recipe for fresh shrimp spring rolls.  They are rolled in rice wrappers and are stuffed with veggies (and n

I had some people over for dinner on Saturday and for the first time, I didn't feel odd about the small amount that I ate and no one really noticed because we did FONDUE!  Shrimp and chicken and veggies and for those that could eat them, baby potatoes.

I went to my first Zumba class!!!  It was fun but sadly there was a 79yo woman who had better moves than I did!  

True fact. Went to get a new pair of New Balance shoes and I was measured at a 12.5 B. I've had a size 12 foot since 6th grade! How many of you saw your foot size go down with your weight loss? I always said "I can lose weight but my feet will al

Until you have to get new clothes. Losing 60#'s (damn ticker still broken!!!) has moved me from only shopping at specialty plus size woman's shops - or online - to main stream stores. Since surgery I have been freezing and decided a new sweater would

Just saw my health benefits plan for 2016 and if I had put off surgery until then like I had thought about, It would have cost me an additional $1000 out of pocket since the co pays went up and the max out of pocket was increased. Then I looked back a
