Have a great time tubing! That sounds fun............. I want to do that this summer! I work all weekend......... So I will be busy........... You have a great weekend as well!

Hey January Jumpers! Just wanted to write and say that things are going so well! I'm so happy with my success; reading each of your successes each day pushes me to explore the new me! Thank you to each of you for your inspiration! I took a new kickboxing class tonight at the gym. I was able to make it through the whole class. I've done it long ago - but certainly not recently! She kicked our butts, so I'm sure I will be sore tomorrow - but it was a break from walking or the bike. A group of my family and friends are going tubing this holiday weekend. I am looking forward to fitting in the tube MUCH better than back in September! I've invited a guy that I have been spending a bit of time with and think is great to join us and he said yes! Pray for safety & a good time - I'm very interested in him! Take care all and have a safe and happy Memorial Day!!! Barbie 281/222/150ish

We are twins, I had surgery on 1/20/04 also. I only weigh once a week, last Sunday I had lost 64 lbs post op plus the 58 pre-op for a total of 122 lbs. I'd still like to lose another 100 lbs but I don't know if it's going to happen at the rage I've been losing. The weight is a minor consideration compared to how I feel. If anybody had told "couch potato" me prior to wls that I'd ever be exercising in the gym every day for 30-45 minutes I'd have given them a disgusted look. Disgusted with myself mostly, because I didn't figure I'd ever be able to do it again. I am working in my yards again and loving it, my closets are getting cleaned out one by one. You get the picture I am feeling great and kicking my heels up every chance I get. Life is great Food has not been a problem for me (haven't tried sweets). I make healthy choices with few exceptions. I decided going in I didn't have to be perfect, but my metabolism is slow so the only way I am going to post a decent weight loss is to cut the carbs and stay completely away from sugar. The up side of not being a fast loser is that I am eating healthier than I've ever eaten in my life. Hopefully that will pay off once I've lost my weight, because I will be in the habit of eating healthy. Glad to hear all you fellow wls gals are doing so great after your surgery. Keep up the good work.

WAHOO! More dancing - dance: CONGRATS to you and keep up the great work! Can't wait until I join you!
