Topic: RE: Time taken to reach goal?

My stats are in my signature - if you include pre-op, it took me 10 months to get from 219 to 125 (4 months pre-op - 36% of weight; 6 months post-op for the remaining 64%).

Topic: Time taken to reach goal?

Just curious to see how long it took some of you light-weighters to meet goal? I have lost 58.4 pounds in about 4-1/2 months, and have about 40 pounds to lose to be at goal.

Topic: Back to Basics - Day 1

Step 1:  reestablish faith in myself and my pouch tool...

Step 2:  Make a plan - Both food and exercise

Step 3:  Remember my mantra:  Don't give up what you want most for what you want right now

Step 4:  Just DO IT

 my journey has started

 

It feels right...

Topic: RE: taking back control of myself.

Thanks for the welcome back.  I have a whole bunch of faith and a big dose of reality.

I know this will not be easy... but it will be doable.

Back to basics... and by exercise... I really just mean back to walking which I would be doing for the rest of my life.

I work at a desk all day so I don't get in the movement needed to keep me nimble.  Also it makes me feel really good both physically and mentally to do that 1.5 most days.

I wonder if white chili would bother my bladder like tomato chili. 

Sounds Good!
