I wanted to share some good news!
Most of you know I had been in the bed recovering from surgery for 10 weeks. Well, about 2 weeks ago the physical therapist finally let me put my foot down! 🙂 Really put my foot down, I could stand and walk with a boot, but I cannot walk normally, yet.
The therapist wants me just to pick up my foot and set it back down when walking, not roll up on the ball of my foot, like you do when you walk normal. I’ve been so excited to be moving!
I never thought about it before, but, my leg is sooo much smaller than the other one, since I couldn’t use it for so long, it look so goofy! lol Well, that’s not the news!
I was finally able to put on a pair of jeans I bought two years ago and never wore! They fit! You can see a real difference in my face and my stomach, it’s not flat (my stomach, not my face) but, it’s much flatter than it was!
I bought those jeans without putting them on, thinking I was buying the right size, and they sat in my drawer for 2 years not fitting! It’s like losing weight and then going shopping for clothes that fit! I’m doing the happy dance!!
I am not going to put a picture up though, mainly because I am in bed in my pajamas still nursing my coffee this morning with no make up on! So, you will have to use your imagination for this! lol
So, how are y’all doing on your weight loss journeys? Send me stories and pics!
I’d love to share your successes, too! We can support each other!
Read all about my journey and how I lost over 100 lbs.

I am so happy that you are healing. That is great. Our church secretary just had surgery on her knee 4 weeks ago and I called her yesterday and she said she had to get up and walk around in the driveway for a few minutes cause she’s going stir crazy. I was just going to ask about your weight loss and then I read on. Good Job Dian! I am proud of you. I am down 20lbs in 5 weeks and my rings are fitting looser so I have to be careful and my pants and shirts are getting looser. My husband made me feel really good the other day. We went to my moms in Arkansas and went to walmart and ran into my cousin’s husband and my husband said to him “I don’t know if noticed or not but ms thing here has lost 20lbs” It made me almost cry for him to be so proud of me. He’s so very sweet! I think I’ll keep him. God bless you!

April,
Way to go!!!! What a sweet hubby! You probably should keep him! It’s so fun seeing the changes in clothes fitting and rings and I can see it in my face – because – all those weeks I had to lay in the bed across from a full length mirror and stare at my fat face! 🙂
Congrats again, you need to keep before and after pics and keep us updated!
