Call the media! I can cross my legs! I cannot remember the last time I was able to cross my legs, and it didn't even occur to me to try it until last night. So here I sit, at my computer, legs crossed, and feeling marvelous dawling.

Well, I did it. I joined Weight Watchers yesterday. We met in the library after school. The meeting reminded me of an Anway meeting! Everyone was soooo supportive of one another. Cheers went up for every weight loss. I need the weekly weigh in. I'm more likely to eat wisely and exercise regularly because I could not stand the idea of publicly revealing that I did not lose any weight. Most important, however, is the fact that so many of my coworkers have joined. There is support and encouragement everywhere on the job.

I've been too embarassed to post. Because of some bad food choices, I've lost just half a pound in the past 3 months! Fortunately, I've made significant changes. First, no more sweets. I don't dump, but to stop losing weight this early in the game has almost put me in the dumps. Next, I spend an hour on the eliptical at least 5 days a week. I've been doing this for a month now. It's becoming a habit. I bound out of bed and head straight for the gym every workday morning at 5 AM. I'm also thinking of joining Weight Watchers. The meetings are help at my job, and a number of my coworkers have joined. I think the weekly accountablity will help. I'm also going to see a therapist. Food has been my drug of choice. I feel like a drug abuser who has suffered a relapse! To date, I have lost 50lbs. I have 46 more to go. I'm not a complete failure, but I am very disappointed in myself. My challenge now is to forgive myself for my errors, correct my ways, and move toward success.

I know I've lost weight, but I wasn't prepared to loose my pants. Fortunately, I was alone in my classroom when my pants fell down. Guess it's time to buy a belt!

I feel attractive again! I'm down to 187lbs, I've lost a dress size, and I can wear the clothes I out grew last year. My face is slimmer and my cheek bones are starting to show. When I look in the mirror, I no longer see a fat middle aged woman. Instead, I see myself becoming the person I deserve to be. Ahh...life is beautiful!

I've lost four pounds after spending a week at 194lbs. Initially, I was discouraged thinking I'm one of the ones the surgery won't work for. However, I eventually realized I hadn't been exercising! So I started going to the gym to spend 30 minutes on the eliptical machine. Today I walked around the neighborhood, pushing Jazmine in her stroller. We both loved the time together in the fresh air. I have to move it to lose it!

I had my surgery on 6-21-2007. It was pretty uneventful, and my recovery is going just fine. I've already lost 21lbs. I can see the difference in my face, and in the way my shirts fit. My goal is to lose 15lbs before I return to work on 8-9-2007. That will put me at 180lbs, my weight when I was hired 3 yrs ago. 180 still makes me obese, but at that weight, I fit comfortably in a size 16, and look much nicer than I do in my current size 18.
