Dropping by to say hello...with progress pics at 1 - Life got pretty crazy this winter - work got very awful and overwhelming and I began a job hunt that lasted several months. As a result of that, I pretty much stopped visiting this...

How do you sleep at night? - No, seriously...how do you sleep? I am having a very hard time getting comfortable enough to sleep lately. I never thought I'd be in pain because of my protruding bones, but here ...

8 Month Surgeversary and no longer obese! - I have been swamped at work and that's really cut into my OH time, but I wanted to check in since it's my 8 month surgery anniversary. I am down 107 lbs and lost 12 lbs in my 8t...

Big clothing NSV today - I don't know if other fat people do this, but I had several bags of clothes (labeled in descending sizes: 2X, 1X, XL...) that I just couldn't part with and kept for many years. ...

Can tattoos disguise bat wings? - So I've wanted half sleeve tattoos (and several other tattoos) for a LONG time. And I feel like I have to wait till I get to goal and see how bad my arms look in case they are s...

Tailbone and sitz bones pain - OUCH - I'd read about the tailbone pain on OH a long ago and thought, "surely that won't happen to me." But I can finally say that I am in agony from tailbone pain. With my recent leg ...

Down 5 lbs a week after leg/foot surgery - The scale showed 191.2 as I weighed myself last Friday the 6th in the wee hours of the morning before my foot/leg surgery. It has been a really rough week, much harder than I an...

What a difference a year makes (pics) - I'd be willing to bet that most of us have at least one photo of ourselves that caused us great distress the first time we saw it. The last one of those for me was taken at my c...

Foot/leg surgery tomorrow and some NSVs - I decided to have the surgeries for my plantar fasciitis. I've been treating it for almost two years and it is not better. My left leg/foot will be tomorrow morning; three weeks...

Foot surgery - and scared to lose my gym routine - I've had plantar fasciitis for years and have been actively treating it for 1.5 years. I have tried ALL of the conservative treatments there are (please, no one suggest icing an...

Onederland!!! - Saw 199.2 on my scale today! I haven't been in onederland for 6 or 7 years, so I'm thrilled! Sunday is my 6 month surgeversary, so I will take some progress pics then. Just had ...

It finally happened today - someone asked me how I - So I've lost 77 pounds, and only one person at work has commented on it. It just happens to be a guy who is a huge jerk and lacks the filter that would prevent most men from com...

Halfway to goal and down 75 lbs!! - I've been away from OH lately (and I MISS it and you all) due to work being crazy and actually having somewhat of a social life for the past couple weeks (several concerts and s...

NSV: towel wraps around me now - After water aerobics on Monday, I realized I could wrap my towel all the way around myself. Now it is a beach towel, but I can't remember the last time I wrapped that towel around ...

Exciting NSV and haircut - First, the NSV: I WEIGH LESS THAN MY BOYFRIEND. He is over 6 feet tall, so I SHOULD weigh less than him, and he is feeling "bloated" today, but I will take it  I got my hair...
