V'N MY RNY. WORKING FOR ME BECAUSE I WORK FOR IT.
Monthly weight gain will always be a female thing but I'm especially cursed. Humph.
I've never been into various activities for exercise. Tried it, don't like it. I have my weak moments, but I'm a gym rat heart and soul for decades.
Stay ELATED and keep Bedrock rock'n!
The bikini started as a dare on another forum, lol. Turns out at just $6 each, I use them as undies when I'm home. Saves $$$. With my ever changing bra size I spend less on real undies.
My thighs are scary but I look forward to a new one piece this summer. I bought a really cute one last summer that fit for about a month.
EWL formula, using me as example:
start weight: 331
healthy bmi goal: 145
difference or excess : 331-145= 186 lbs. of excess weight.
to date: I have lost 167 lb.s therefore: 167 divided by 186 equals percent of excess weight loss: 89.8%
My doc says that average of 65 to 70% ewl after rny is good. I'm a bit ahead of curve, but anticipate that when I get to goal there will be a bounce back...seems people experience that, but not everyone.
Hope that helps!
Hugs,
Kathy
It knows it must outrun the fastest lion or it will be killed.
Every morning in
It knows that it must run faster than the slowest gazelle, or it will starve.
It doesn't matter whether you're a lion or a gazelle
when the sun comes up you'd better be running.
RNY 2/9/09 Buh bye Gallbladder 8/28/09; 100% EWL (181 lbs.) on 2/19/10;
Congratulations on your success...!!!
I know how to figure my BMI (even though I don't believe in it because it doesn't give credit to muscle), but how do you figure out your "excess body weight" ?
