3 week update......

Wow I have to say this is the most amazing thing that has ever happened to me.In 3 wks I have lost 58.6 lbs,my energy level is through the roof,and I feel 110% better than I have felt in a very long time.I havent had to use my cane or walker 1 time in the past week.One thing that has bothered me some is I have started looking into purchasing exercise equipment and it seems so far that everything has a weight limit of 350 lbs,so I guess for me that means all I can do for now is continue walking.Iam slowly experimenting with new foods ,still dont have much of a appetite can normally only get in 3 or 4 bites per meal but have been doing very good with the liquid intake.Please keep me in your prayers. Teresa

Dear Teresa, I did find a stationary bike that has a weight limit of 400. It costs a bit more, around $1,500, but if you'd like the information, let me know. Sally

I worried a lot about the weight limit when I bought a treadmill, but after surgery found it wasn't something to really worry about, I lost weight so fast that I was quickly under the limit! I did buy one with a 350lb limit, but if I had it to do again I wouldnt' be as concerened about it. I would have saved some money. Best wishes to you, I think your doing great! Jan

Teresa, Walking is great exercise. If I were you, I'd wait until I was under 350 before buying exercise equipment. For the first 12 weeks or so, walking is all you need! You are doing so great!!!!! Lori
