The local YMCA is featuring me in a brochure!

The local YMCA has approached me to be in their new brochure as a local success story. I feel so honored! At first I was like, but I had WLS. And they told me that WLS did not make me the top female weight lifter the last 6 months and the top female total work outs last month. It may have helped me loose weight but it doesn't make me go to the gym 6 days a week. I put the photos they sent me to approve in my profile. I have to admit, I look pretty good on those machines! I'll put a copy of the article for the brochure as soon as it's done. I'm so excited. WOOHOO!

Congratulations Terri what a true inspiration you are I am soooo excited for you xoxoxo Corinna

Thanks Corinna! (hugs)

Wow!! Congratulations, and they are absolutely correct. It is one thing to take the step to have the surgery and to make that a success (because we know from stories that some people are not successful after surgery) but to have the determination to stay with the work out program and weight lifting is just awesome! You should be very proud!! Hugs, Deanna

Deanna, I know stories too of people who've had this surgery and gained quite a bit of weight back. Most of the long term success in keeping weight off has included some form of exercise. That's why I've made sure exercise was an important part of my new life. I want to keep the weight off. (hugs)

How exciting! You look great! xosm

Thanks GG

That IS soooo ! Congrats Terri, you do look good on those machines. Elisa

Elisa (my surgery sister!!!) Thanks! (hugs)

Congratulations! Way to go! Woo Hoo! You go girl!!! and any other expression we can think of ....they are right wls or not, I think we work out and have a better understanding of our health than most of the people in the YMCA. I love going and working out there too.
