RYP-Day 1-Melissa

I have decided to do it. I GOTTA do it. Its driving me insane. I have come tooooo far to go back up again. My highest weight was 341lbs that was when my daughter was born. Jan 2005. Day of Surgery-321 (Jan 23 2006) Lowest from RNY-206.5 I went up to 210 April 16 2007, day of my Tummy Tuck. They cut off 10.9lbs off. 2 Weeks after I was at 201.5. OMG almost under 200lbs. I had not been there in like almost 20 yrs, really. I was so proud of myself. I SLACKED so much, I have no-one to blame really but myself. I slacked on walking, ate in the middle of the night. Was out of control. Now this morning I was at 228.5. I have gained 27lbs since my tummy tuck. I AM NOT HAPPY ABOUT THAT. So I am willing to give this RYP a try. So far its been really really HARD. I am so hungry. My biggest problem is chewing I wanna chew, I have gum of course.

Good luck ............I am not sure I could do this again.......... Tori

Keep it up it will be worth it!

Good luck Melissa you can do it.....The first day is the roughest.... Hugs, Chris

Great job on day one! Keep it up!

Melissa, you made it past day 1!!!! That's major! I tip my hat to you because I'm honestly scared to do the RYP. For one, I'm afraid that I'll cheat, secondly I'm afraid that once I lose the weight I'll gain some of it back...what's the point! Those are my fears. Good luck to you on at least giving it a try! April

How's it going Melissa? Hugs, Chris

Well its going. I did not do the RYP exactly. I modified it somewhat. I went to www.fitday.com and have been tracking my calories really well and also joined a gym. So far since Monday I have lost 4 lbs. I walk 1 1/2 miles at work everyday and 2.25 miles at the gym on the treadmill and doing cardio and toning. Tues, Thur and Sundays now. So I can do it if I work hard. I have come to far to fail now. I just had to get my butt back in gear. Thanks for checking in on me. That means alot to me. I will keep everyone informed. God Bless Melissa
