Feeling Better... :-) 9/17/08
Sep 17, 2008
Hello,
Today I saw my surgeon, Dr. Rumsey. He is fantastic. His smile and words just encouraged me. I am weighing 203 lbs. I am 4 pounds from my first goal of 199. I just can't wait. Dr. Rumsey said I was doing great. The weight loss is good. I just feel like it's real slow but he said slow was good. I am continuing to exercise. For all those out there who's weight loss is slowing coming off like me.....all I can say is just keep at it. I have and I really do feel the difference. I am wearing a size 18 but can probably fit into a size 16. I can't wait until I weigh under 200 lbs. We will celebrate!
See ya,
Yolanda

NOT LOSING WEIGHT.....210 lbs

Well hello out there in cyberland. I am stuck. I lost 2 pounds last month. Barely moving the scale a pound in three weeks. I am exercising four times a week. What am I doing wrong????? I started by wearing a size 26 and now I can squeeze into a size 16. Although size 16 is just not comfortable so I wear a size 18. It's exciting to hear the comments from my co-workers. I know I have much to be grateful for but I want to continue to lose weight.
Desperately trying to lose weight.

Hello Out There In Cyperland.....
Well I am just reporting in. I weigh 212 pounds! I can't wait to weigh under 200 lbs. I am so excited. The weight loss has started to slow down. I am continuing to exercise 4 times per week for 22 minutes at level 9 on the elliptical. I also do sit up's
on the exercise ball (at home) and lift light weights for my arms.
I am wearing a size 18. ( I started at size 26!!!!!!) I can feel the difference but I still need to lose more weight. I am only 5 feet tall so I am still very round. I'm not even sure if my goal weight of 130 is going to be enough. I can't think that far ahead. Baby steps. First things first.... weigh under 200 lbs then continue marching onward.
Oh, I am LOSING MY HAIR......IT IS SHEDDING OFF. I am taking biotin, I am using Nioxin and I can see the hair growing back but my hair looks completely different because of the hair loss. I have been told that it will stop falling off in a few months. I will keep you posted.
I must share that I am not doing it alone. My sister who weighs 131 lbs is a great inspiration. She goes with me to the gym, she encourages me and she prays for me. I can never thank her enough.
Well folks, I will check back in a few months and update you.
Take Care....God Bless.

Hello Everyone,
Today is Friday, May 23, 2008, I just got back from the Gym. I have been trying to stay on the Elliptical machine for 30 minutes. I started a few weeks ago and I took baby steps. I did five minutes the first time and I thought that I needed a tow truck the next day. I couldn't move. I didn't quit. I went back and tried again but I did three minutes. I was embarrassed but I knew I couldn't really do it any longer.
I kept at it. Four times a week adding one minute every time. Yesterday I stayed on for twenty minutes. I was so excited. Today I went for it. I stayed on for 30 minutes. I felt so good. I can feel the weight and inches coming off. I feel myself able to do more and more. I am so excited. I can't wait to weigh under 200 lbs. I really can't remember the last time I weighed under 200 lbs. I am 27 lbs aways from my next goal.
Watch what you eat! Add exercise no less than four times a week and keep going.
Today's weight is 227. Stay tune because I can't wait to share the great news when I weigh less than 200 lbs.
God Bless,
Yolanda

Hello, Things are so much better for me. I feel the weight coming off. I am walking on the treadmill 30 minutes a day. I started at 2 mph and I can now walk 15 fifteen minutes at 2.7 mph and the last 15 minutes at 3 mph. I know it's not much but I am truly excited.
I can't wait to increase my time and speed on the treadmill.

Hello,
I am disappointed today. I just got back from a one week vacation with my family. I didn't weigh in for seven days. I got home tonight and of course, I weighed in. I did not lose a pound. I maintained. I expected to have lost some weight.
Expecting more,
Yolanda

Slowing Shedding the Pounds

Hello:
Today I hit 242 lbs. I am so excited. Since my surgery on March 7th, I have lost 26 pounds. I have been walking on the treadmill everyday for 30 minutes. I'm a slow walker but I don't give up. I am so excited because I can see the pounds coming off. There are even a few pair of pants that I can't wear because they fall off.
Good Luck to Everyone. The WLS is working for me and I am so excited.
