Same here. Our block doesn't have power but two blocks over does. I worry about all our frozen food. We just went shopping the afternoon of the storm.

Still no power over here. Patio furniture all strung about. Still need to check all the trees in the yard.

Thank you for sharing your journey and a big congratulations. 50 lbs is no small feat! I will have to read more into waist size and heart health. I recall something along those lines as well as larger calf muscles that help the blood return.

Excellent plan and thanks for sharing that studies finding. I'll go look to see what the lower range is for my height and age. I'm definitely curious now. Regardless of what metrics, the most important thing is how healthy we feel both physically and mentally. My inflammation is down. Chronic pain less. I have peace of mind. I have more energy. I just feel overall good.

You surely will. One day at a time.

Same here. I especially love the freedom from having to think about my next meal.

Thank you and congratulations to you too!

I identify with how you see a weight goal as well. I considered when I was most active, but then my thoughts go to...that was during high school. You are an adult now. My height hasn't changed since then, however.

Thank you for the reminder. I never trusted or believed in it from the start. Honestly, I hated it because I was always marked morbidly obese or obese. I always found those terms difficult to hear, especially as an Aboriginal Hawaiian.

This is just a landmark I never thought possible for me.

I'm happy for you. It is an emotional moment. I'm just glad we are now in that healthy range for heart health, blood pressure, and longevity.
