Exercise really DOES help you to lose weight!!!!!  I have started to walk at home to DVDs in the last 2 days. I weighed this morning and finally my weightloss has started again. I have been at such a stand still for the last month or so I was getting depressed. I might not hit my goal of 240 before I see Dr B again but I am going to try to get close.  =)
Guess I will be doing more walking in the days to come. 

Well, I have my 1 yr visit in about a month.... I have been thinking how wonderful it would be to have some extra pounds off by then. I did 3 miles last night with Leslie Sansone... she has a lot of walking DVDs out on the market. I have several of hers and I like them... they sometimes get boring after you have done them awhile but she is motivating you as you walk and they are easy. This 3 miles video took less than 45 minutes.... I have a 4 miler by her that I want to try out tonight. I have to do something because I have become very slack in my weightloss efforts. I have become to complacient about where I am in this journey even though I am not at all where I want to be or ought to be. 
I have to get on the ball!!!!  
Oh, I have also taken a challenge to do a 5K walk for the cure in September... and then I want to do the Charleston Bridge walk in the spring of next year. On to bigger and better things.... no sitting around waiting for the pounds to "drop" off.... just like everything else, if you want it you are going to have to make it happen!!

P.S. I did the 4 mile walk tonight!!!  Yeah me!!!

Love you all....

I actually went out in public in a pair of pants today.... this would be the 
first time I have been in pants in 20 years.... unreal. I was so happy my
husband was about to call the men in white to take me away.  
I have needed something to kick me in the butt to get me going again.... I might not have lost any more weight but I am losing inches. I have my one year visit next month I have to get the loss started again. This WOW moment has made me want to lose even more.... it is time to recommit myself to my goals and to really get to work at watching what I eat and to exercise more. I can do this.... I have so many friends that are so encouraging and are looking so wonderful... they just inspire me so much. 
THANK YOU MY FRIENDS!!!  I love you.....

I actually rode my husbands bike tonight in my neighborhood... I have not even been on a bike since my late teen years. I loved it! I forgot how fun it
was to ride a bike. I finally put what everyone else would think when they saw me on the back burner and I  just did it for me. This surgery has given
life back to me. I can't wait to try other things that I had given up because I was just to big and unhealthy. This surger is the best thing I have done.
