I love boots! I've bought 2 pairs of cowboy boots at garage sales...

I was in Santa Cruz yesterday... -  and walking in the sand is SO much easier at 165 pounds than it was at 282 pounds! I even wore a bathing suit IN PUBLIC! This VSG is the third best thing I ever did for myself, th...

overeating broke the stall! -  Hey, that Mexican food that made me so sick from eating too much of it ended up breaking my stall! The next morning I was down2 pounds, and now, 5 days later, I'm down from 247 to...

a bump in the road... -  Back in May I had parathyroid surgery. I was told it was successful, and I believed it.  Then I went to have my pap smear, which was fine, and a blood test for some stomach bacter...

Consultation with Dr. Chu -  So I had my first consultation with Dr. Chu in Fremont today. I really like her, and everyone I met at Kaiser there. The nutritionist said I was doing great ( I lost 15 pounds sin...
