I hate typing so I just cut and pasted my post I made on a different board.  I know lazy fingers Post Date: 4/23/08 10:43 am
So, I had my one month follow up today.  My surgeon was very pleased with my progress while I was thinking I was not doing so hot.  I have lost 36% of my excess body weight.  I am down to 169 on his scale 167 on mine butt naked:)  like my number better.  I have been cleared to eat stage 4.  Yahoooooooooo  I have so been craving a salad with some light dressing.  

I don't have to go in for another two months from now.  I set a goal for mysefl which I did share with the surgeon.  I would like to get down to 140lbs in 6 months.  He was pleased with my goal saying i was being realistic and not expecting for all the wight to just come off.  I was told I would probably surpass my goal.  I have been going to the gym since last week and have only missed one day in 8 days of going.  I am going to a hiphop class tonight.  Has anyone ever done this???  SOunded fun and I need some fun in my work out.  I was doing hte cardio and the strength training and that is fine but I need more variation.  

Also Bekah.......or anyone else for that matter anything that I should try to stay away from on stage 4?  I am not much a poster more a lurker just really hard to read an post with two small children.  I am lucky to get a break due to nap time right now:)

Also if there is anyone that lives close to VIrginia Beach, Virginia I am doing the march for babies this weekend and would love the company walking.

Be more concerned about your character than about your reputation, because your character is what you really are, while your reputation is merely what others think of you.

That is great!!  Sounds like you are on a good path!  I have never taken a hip hop class before, but they seem very fun.  My daughters dance and my oldest dances competitivly. She has a hip hop class.
