Hey be encouraged and go try your bike. I don't know if I can explain the freedom I feel when I am riding or not but just try it and see how you feel. Saturday I think I did overkill...I did go out for that second ride and it felt great. I can tell my leg muscles are protesting. They felt a little wobbly abter that second ride. I measured my distance with the car and I actually rode 2 1/2 miles. I'm so proud. I'll really think about that cross country skiing. I have actually never been on skis. I'll have to try it, I don't think I want to try the downhill...I can see myself trying cross country to start. Thanks for the idea. I have lots of exercise equipment in the house and many different video tapes with workouts but I think I prefer to get outside and go do something. Now my only problem there will be if I can get my husband to go with me or not. If not, I will find some friends to go. He can be a stick in the mud sometimes but I love him anyway.

Topic: RE: 115lbs Down since Feb.

WOW you go girl!!! I had my surgery on 2/2/06 as well i started out at 271 and have lost 91 pounds so far and am at 180. I have not had any issues but i had my surgey in Costa Rica and i will be going to the Dr for the first time after my surgey In oct. So i am not sure about my levals i admit i cant wait to hear how i am doing. By then i hope to of hit the 100 pounds lost mark. I have seemed to slow WAY down i only lost 4 pounds this last month but i work out alot and my trainer says (if only i could get it ) Dont look at the numbers on the scale look at how you fel and what size you wear which is true but i still wanna see those numbers FALLLLL lol. But i have gone down to a 10 and some 8's so hey whos complaining. I am so proud of you what an accomplishment! Do you feel you have a load of skin? I dont think i have a whole lot but yet i want to have plastics NOW BUT i know i cant not till this time next year. Do you wanna loose any more? have you worked out at all? Well just so you know we are all proud of you

Topic: RE: Wow moment

Its so funny you talked about riding a bike. I got a call from a friend of mine who said he was riding his bike every night and i should join him. Being i have not ridden a bike in like 100000000000 years i was like uhhh??? but after reading your post and knowing i go to the gym and this will just add to my work out I think i might try it. Sorry no suggestions with winter on the way I live in Florida lol no winter here. Just hurricanes lol Maybe you could go cross country skiing

Topic: 115lbs Down since Feb.

Hello, my name is Karen and I had my surgery on Feb 2,2006. One week before surgery my weight was 238. I'm down to 123 now and I feel great...... I can't beleive it came off so fast. I do have to keep going to the Dr's to have blood drawn because my potasium is high for some reason. Did this ever happen to anyone? Thanks everyone for listening. I'll post again soon......

Topic: under 300 pounds!!!

hey there, gang! I haven't posted in a while! I have been working a LOT! Well, I have great news..... first, I am under 300 pounds (I was 298 last Monday), and second.........I am having a cycle! YAY! uuhhh....I think! lol I have never had a cycle on my own....and for the last 2 months, I have been like clock work! the good part is, hubby and I can hopefully expand our family.....the bad part...CRAMPS and anemia!!!!! UGH! Oh well, I can't complain! I have lost so much weight. I look like a different person. People that haven't seen me in a while don't even recognize me...lol. It is halarious! I have some current pics, but I don't know how to put them on my page. I have lost over 10 inches on each thigh alone! I only have one face now..hehe....and that is just the beginning. I am really liking the smaller ME, and hubby is having himself a BLAST! I guess that is all for now.....it is good to be on here again! Sandra 395/298/150-ish? RNY 02-13-96

Why thank you very much. You are doing great as well. I sure wish I had this available to me when I was 25 yrs old. I feel like I wasted away 20 years being fat. Never again!!
