Dear Shelly, I just got registersd. So we will meet you on Saturday morning.

Yeah I think that it is hard to remember that it took 30 years or whatever to weigh this much.  I want to lose much more so quick and then I wonder why it doesn't work. 

Thank you, guess I am too impatient once things start happening I went in to keep going at that pace.  I have to remember it took me 30 some yrs to add all this weight and I won't lose it over night.

Good luck on your upcoming surgery.

It has been a month since surgery and seems like I hit a plateau.   I had promised myself I would only weigh once a week..............duh..........like I could do that the scale is in the kitchen, I put it there to remind me of my weight every time I entered that room.

I have lost 26 lbs.   In the last week or so the scale has not moved.  People I work with are telling me they can see inches coming off, that is what is keeping me motivated right now.

I had not seen my son for almost 2 months and he showed up at my work on Friday.  He did a double take look at me when I called out his name , I was not at my desk when he walked in so he didn't expect to see me where I was standing.  He finally said to me an hour later that he could see I had lost.

My DH even said I lost one of my chins.

I can tell my slacks are really baggy and I sat in a booth in a restaurant and  I actually had space between the table and my belly.

I am going to sign up and pay my daughter's membership at the local YMCA so we can do some exersice together.  Walking is very hard for me  I had a hip replacement last Jan. (and that hip is doing great).  I need the other hip done and when I walk any distance it really hurts so I am going there to see what kind of exercises I can do with weights that don't involve my hip.  I had been going to a swim class but that involved having to be late for work 2 hrs everytime I went to that class.  And the days I would go to the swim class I had to work through my lunch hour.   I won't do that anymore I need to eat my meals at a regualar time away from my desk so I don't wolf them down.

I go for my first fill in 10 days, I can't wait for that I have started feeling hungry at times and that scares me.
