    Hi Deb, I just saw you info and I can relate to your story. I have had G-By pass and have lost 147 pds. Its funny the way some of my firends who have weight problems look at me now. They seem to be jealous. I get new clothes and not a word is mentioned that they like them, but when I was fat and bought something new a comment was made then. Good job on your success. Its funny that your living in Dubai, I have a son and daughter living in Dubai. I was wondering where you had your surgery and I see that you are having thigh and arm tuck and that is what I need to have. Its very expensive in Canada and I am wondering if your having this done in Dubai and what the cost is? Maybe when I come for vacation there I might check into it. It is really hard to find a good surgeon. O would love to see the before and after shots of what they do. I am a visual type of person. I am interested in how will the scars look. For me I don't heal the best and I would feel not so good if the scars are bad. I would love to stay in touch with you. I am very new to this sight. Actually today is the first time I am writing on it. I just got the news letter. Keep in touch with me. My email address is ellen_140@hotmail.co m. Good luck with your next surgery. Hope to talk to you soon.

The ramblings of a 'formerly fat girl'


Nutrition & Pilates Reformer
on May 29, 2010 10:09 am
I've tried 2 new things this week : Pilates and Nutrition.

I saw a nutritionist to help me review my eating plan and in particular my lack of energy.  The problem is that whilst I generally have enough energy to do my day-to-day activities and exercise - I'm usually fairly wiped out at the middle of the day often resulting in me having to take extended naps to get through the day (1-2 hours).  She's given me a whole list of supplements to take - in particular my B vitamins which hopefully will give me the energy I need. 

She reviewed my food diary and thought that this was good, but suggested I have fish more often - which I'm happy to try - with the exception of salmon and tuna which I still can't tolerate.

So my favourite fish meal is grilled or oven baked parrot or hammour fish, topped with a home-made tomato salsa (tinned toms, onions, herbs & spices - reduced until it's a thick sauce) topped with a sprinkling of grated cheese which is grilled til it's bubbling - it's delicious.  As a bonus - hubby likes it too which makes it much easier on the cooking front.

I've also taken up Pilates - using a reformer machine.  This is the machine which looks like a medieval torture tool - like a stretching rack - LOL! - it's the one which Ruby tried on her show when she got all emotional and tearful.

Whilst the machine looks quite complicated, it's fairly easy to use and you are able to do all sorts of exercises on it specifically to target different body parts.  It's really hard work, but also very good for your abs and core muscles.  The class is just 5 people and the instructor is able to watch over you and put you in the right position if you stray !  The class lasts an hour and boy can you feel that you've worked your core muscles afterwards !

I've been to 2 classes this week, plus played squash twice and been to the gym 2 times - so all in all a good week.

Onwards and downwards
Debbie
