Haven't checked in here for a while,  mainly because I haven''t had anything to report.  I've been plateaued between 255 & 260 the whole time.  I know plateaus/stalls happen so I'm not particularly worried about it yet.  I think my numbers will start changing again any time now.  

I really don't think I'm done because it is just too soon - and I still have plenty of excess flab on my belly & legs.  I know that I will end up with some excess skin hang on arms, legs, and around the waist unless/until I get PS.  Already showing the signs, but I don't think I'll mind too badly if I can make it to my goal (onederland).

I do see the image in my mirror keep changing bit by little bit.  Sometimes it's hard to put a finger on each change because they're so gradual and because they haven't affected my scale # or pants size.

I shaved my face shortly after my last post and have kept it clean since then.  Last time I kept a clean face for more than a week was 2 decades ago, so I really don't know the face/person that I found under the whiskers.  Still not really used to it.

One year surgiversary is 2 weeks away.  A few days after that I'll go in for my one year checkup and labs.  I'm really good about taking my vits but my exercise routine of walking daily has been punctuated to maybe 3 days per week.  Blood thinner makes it really hard to stay warm while walking in the winter and I haven't been able to afford a continuing health club membership (that will be changing soon and Spring is coming).

A week after that I will be seeing the vascular guy about scheduling IVC filter removal again.  The docs wanted to try in NOV but I was already out of sick days at work then and it was impossible to find someone to drive me home from the appointment.  Plus the vascular guy said it didn't matter how soon they tried since it had already been in much longer than recommended and the IVC situation would not change any over those few extra months.
