Thoughts of today

Hi Everyone,    My goal since last Dec 06 was to lose at least 75 lbs. by my June 07 anniversary. Well our 31st anniversary was yesterday; and I was down 77lbs.!  I am so happy and greatful to have met this goal. I hope that being healthier in many ways will give me many more reasons to celebrate in many more anniversaries to come! When my family doc said why WLS I said: (I want to live, and not let some other woman enjoy retirement with my husband and family! After all I have been the supportive wife all these years; why should another woman get the gravy of all my efforts. LOL! I am 48 years old; and it is my goal to be healthy, fit; and weigh 150 by time I hit the age of 50! I have yet a ways to go. I have been on a plateau for over a month now; and ask you all to give me postive thoughts and prayers to get off it. I exercise 40-60 min daily; and very good about what I eat, try to get in enough water & protein.. One day and one goal at a time! I am always encouraged by all my friends on OH. Thanks and everyone have a great weekend.. Hugs. Judy R

Well..... today I had my monthly weigh-in as part of my 12 month pre-op diet documentation.  Eight months down and four to go before surgery.  Yippee!   No weight loss this month, as usual.  But I dropped my body fat index by 4%!  So I'm gaining lean body mass and losing fat.  Even if the scale doesn't move, at least I'm doing something right.   Pam

First......I am doing good....a little sore now from working out....and pushing myself. But it has payed off I think. My BMI is 39.9.....BELOW 40...lol I have not weighed this in 22 yrs!  Second.......How are things going with you? How did the eating go when you were on vacation?  and Last but not least....Jane...what is the "ark" and what the heck is a "noodle"

The Ark is a venerable acoustic music (mostly acoustic, not all) venue on Main Street in Ann Arbor. The noodle?  I'll tell you over a bowl of chili one night.  Or you can try guessing....  A hint:  it requires specialized clothing.

on monday i go for my pre-admission testing.  i've lost 23 pounds since my consultation in may. that means i'm already down 3 BMI points. i feel good.
