Checking In....

Hi All,

Sorry it has been a while since I have been here and checked in with everyone. Life has been busy with vacations, funerals and life with 4 boys.

I am happy to say that i am doing well with my weight loss and am officially down 100 lbs since I began the process. It is amazing to me how fast 6 months has gone by and I'm still learning to adapt to the new life style.

It scares me because I have not had any negative reactions to food and I sure in the heck have not crossed the line with sugar and have no desire to find out if I dump.

Finally getting into a healthy exercises habits and joined a gym and am trying to get there at least 3 times  a week. This weather that we have been having is a Debbie downer and I am looking forward to having the warmer weather so I can enjoy the motorcycle and bike cycle and walking my new dogie.

I sure have missed everyone and have tons of questions.

I'm at the stage where I worry am I eating to much food. How low will my weight go and when do you stop loosing, I'm worried that I will stop losing now. How many calories on average do you eat once your past the weight loss and in to maintiance?

This are the questions I have and many more. We all know Kaiser is no help when it comes to answering questions about long term things.

Look forward to hearing from everyone and seeing you all at the next luncheon.

Hey Roberta...glad to see you back posting ^_^ Congratulations on reaching the 'century' mark...what a mile stone!! (and besides that, you look wonderful!! :-) As long as you stick to the program that is working for you now, you should keep losing...it will probably slow down some but no reason you shouldn't keep losing. The 'honeymoon' can last as long as 18-24mos post surgery.  Smart idea on gearing up the exercise..that will become even more important when you reach your goal and want to maintain.
See ya Monday!
