I have a goal weight in mind, but what I really am thinking of is a goal size. I want to able to wear my clothes that are a certain size.

lauriejo, that celiac is a tricky one. The world sticks gluten in so many places. Are you avoiding hydrolyzed yeast and 'flavorings'?
I'm 5'4" and big boned,and solid.I don't look bad now I don't think.But would like to lose some more.Even 20 pounds.I think 120 is too small for me too.But "weight sheets" say I should weigh 125.
Sadly, I am back on oral steroids, plus an injection, so I am bummed big time. Usually I gain 15 pounds and keep it for a long time. I'm hoping this time will be different. The doctor thinks saving my ability to walk is more important than worrying about a few pounds. Of course, he's right. It's scary when the back is deteriorating rapidly. Enough whining. Hope everyone's having a good day.

The rheumatologist is history - next stop is a nuerologist - immediately. Such fun. I'd rather be spending the money on fabric.

May is pastels. Does that mean florals or solids? I like blenders and large florals, but I'm not going to win, for sure.
