My 5th year Anniversary what Ive learned

Sep 04, 2013

I'm 5 years out ...I have gained a bit but still in size 10-12!  I still take my vitamins!  I have learned I cant have alot of sugar because not because of dumping but because I get hypoglycemic...Ha Ha Thats a good one on me ...I get light headed and sweat two hours later after I eat something bad.  I have learned to maintain weight ..that we much eat less and protein and that hated work exercise.  Now I dont sell this but I have a fit big that keeps me walking..I believe that why i've stayed a 10.  It makes you active.  So protein and exercise no big secret.  Probably the weirdest thing is the hypoglycemia..I believe that was for my benefit or I could have gained more.  Love to you all Patty

I'm almost 4 years out!

Aug 31, 2012

I gained about 15 pounds but I'm in better physical shape than I have ever been.  I'm desperately trying to get my protein in. and loose weight.  I get all my vitamins everyday!  When my lab work came back it said I was low in protein.  LOL  I have to go back to the doctor and I feel ashamed I have gained weight.   my 10s are too tight...at least I'm still in a medium shirt.  Crazy days!

Hi all leave it to obesity help to remind me of the date!   I am so happy I did this!  I am now 147 but I've been as low as 143.  Now I will tell you this for my body  145 is normal weight and anything over is overweight...Sick huh!  I'm so happy I just wish I had done it earlier so I had more collagen in my skin and I'd shrink back!  I'm so happy I will post pictures soon.  Love Patty  PS I didn't make my goal BUT THATS OK!

I'm almost to first goal!

Mar 27, 2010

I'm probably the only one who can go on a cruise and loose weight...but I did.   I walked up the hills of Aculpulco to see the cliff divers.  I walked a 5K on board the boat for breast cancer.  I did the stationary bike for 5 miles and walked and walked and ran up stairs at times.  I guess i'm in better shape than I thought.  I did get a urinary tract infection which then I didn't eat for 24 hrs I felt so bad.  Thank goodness for the pharmacy in Mexico ...You just go in and ask for an antibiotic and you get it for 21.00...crazy but boy did it help put things back to better.  Some times tho my gut would act up ....Lot's and lot's of GAS BOO Hoo!   Finally tho my body is staring to change.  Even tho not down inches the shorts that didn't fit a few months ago now do!  That's progress for sure but of course people are looking at me and saying you've lost enough.  Which is true just 2 pounds more and then MAINTENANCE!! the really hard thing.  Take care all I will be on as often as I can manage.  Take care Patty

Each pound is hard

Jan 16, 2010

Down another pound ...Yeah.  I've been trying to exercise daily and track..it's not easy but it's giving me result.  I haven't been in the 140's for over 40 years since I was 17 yrs old and a senior in hight school.  I'm getting closer to 60.  It seems like everytime I eat beef I seem to loose.  Crazy huh.  Take care all.
