Good Morning!!
I did not post a weight, since I am leaving Saturday as my first weigh-in for our May challenge.
I am running out of time before my golf event June 23, my family reunion on July 20 and my high school reunion and my niece's wedding in October. I want to look good and feel comfortable so now I am on track to do that.

Mo take 1 day at a time. I bought a book from Neil Barnard who is a Doctor in Washington DC I respect who has done research on good carbs and how to lose weight successfully and with health. I get the book today. I ate oatmeal for desert. I have frozen strawberries thawed I will
et through the day. I shop tomorrow. I can not go today because my physical therapist is coming today instead of Friday because Russ is taking me to get my cashier check for rent etc. Friday morning when we get SSa. I think I get the March 22 SSI denial today from SSa. I have asked for the 1979 document which was in file in February of 2024. I have to have an informal hearing by may 29 at SSA. The is because I appealed march 29 2024. I will call SSA today to ask how my search for that document is coming;

I go to WW Saturday. I am paying 19.99 or 9 months. I should be lifetime. Today I reach 173.6 I think on the scale which means since May 2019 I have lost 90 pounds. slowly 18 a year maybe this year a little more but it can be done one day at a time.

it was not perfect for each fo the 5 years . I gained . I lost but overall I lost at the end of each year some. I am getting underwear that will fit me hopefully tomorrow 10 pairs briefs. I asm wearing shorts today. The physical therapist comes. I am wearing the small pants on the bottom.
I am biggeron top than with pants. But my arms have lost weight like my legs. I am done with mental health. I m trying to leave that agency an revoked all releases. I do not want such treatment any more.
