Topic: NSV Able to wear knee high boots & skinny jeans for the first time!

Good morning everybody! So I'm really excited to be able to wear knee high boots that my calfs will actually fit in & skinny jeans for the first time in my life. I also lost another pound which I'm super excited about. 33 lbs left to go. Woohoo! Now time to hit the gym before our huge snow storm hits. Here is a pic my husband took of me in my boots & skinny jeans. It's kinda dark, sorry. I'll throw a before pic up too just to show the difference. I hope you all have a wonderful Sunday!

Me at 315 lbs

Topic: NRI Event

Anyone planning on going to the NRI even on Apr. 26th? It looks like it will be interesting & informative. I had taken a vacation day for that day already so I definitely will be planning on going.

Topic: RE: Walking shoes Opinions needed

You get one pair of feet in life. If we don't treat them well- we are in trouble. I always go to either Scheels or the running store. Get your feet evaluated and find out which type of shoe is best for you. Scheels has a small clearance section too. After they have shown me which types to get, I then go to places like DSW and get the shoes for a better price. I don't mind paying close to 100.00 for a good pair of running shoes, if it means my feet will be better. In my experience a running shoe is much better then just a walking. Walking ones seem to be so flat. I am not a big runner (actually I hate to run) I do run in short sprits. Remember you get what you pay for. If you go to Wally World you will get cheap shoes and problems because you were not fitted correctly. ok, that was my 2cents.. ummm.. 2.98 worth of advice LOL

Topic: Walking shoes Opinions needed

Ok so I'm wanting to get started for real this time on a walking routine & need some opinions on good walking shoes. I am flat footed & have no arches. What have you all found to be good walking shoes?

Gotta love this weather, eh? I'm ready for Spring. I'm originally from NC so this is all foreign to me. Lol We rarely ever got snow & when we did it melted the same or next day. How is everyone fairing out there?

Topic: RE: Support Groups

The Essentia group no longer meets. The Sanford group meets at Family Wellness the last Tuesday of the month at 630. There is a group that meets at Old Chicago in the evening, but not sure when they meet. There is a Essentia day group that meets the 1st and 3rd Tuesday of the month at 10:00. They meet at the South University clinic. Take the Red elevator to the lower level and it is in the conference room on the right. This is lead by a dietician. Normally those that meet are those that have appointments or thoses that are new postop patients.

Topic: RE: Support Groups

The Sanford support group meets the last Tuesday of the month at the Family Wellness Center at 6:30 I believe that time is right. I don't get out there as much as I would like to, it just doesn't seem to work out most the time. I'm sure someone will correct me if the time is wrong but I'm pretty sure that's right. It's a decent sized group too. I would check it out. Good Luck!
