I would like to get to the 130's. Robin Alexandria VA

Okay, I'll start: 1, surgery type and date: Open RNY 4/21/03 2. your age and height: 35 years old, 5'6" 3. beginning weight: 275 4. current weight: 225 5. exercise plan: do good intentions count?! *blush* 6. personal weight goal: 150-160 range (that's about a Size 10 for me). Back in my fen-phen days, I got to 168 and felt really good about myself, so we'll see when I get closer to my goal. ~ Susan

Hi OK...here's mine 1. lap RNY on April 14, 2003 2. 33 female and 5'5 3. 319 when I started the liquid diet 10 days before surgery...306 day of 4. 265 YAY! 5. I walk (or try to) each night about 1 1/4 miles. I am now actually cleaning my house and mowing the lawn when I couldn't before. That counts too, right? 6. I am hoping to be at or close to my goal of 165 by next April. The dr had put my goal at 175, but I'm shooting for 165. Rhonda

Hi, everyone!! Here goes! 1. Open VBG on 04/23/03 2. Age 25 and ht. 5'5" and sex F 3. Beginning wt. 308 4. Current wt. 354.5 5. Excercise-I stopped excercising for a couple of weeks (I know shame on me!) but started back up yesterday (Yay!) I usually walk, run, dance, and ride a stationary bike in my living room. I do pretty much a little bit of everything as long as I keep moving non-stop for an hour or more. Plus, it help not to get bored. 6. Ultimate Goal between 160 and 150. But for right now if I just could just get below 200 I would be in heaven. Thanks for reading! Lucy

Hi all! Here is my info; 1) Open RNY 4/21/03 2) 38yrs old (in May) 5'2" 3) 278lbs. 4) 221lbs. 5)Walk 2 miles a day, and tone arms and chest with 2lb. weights 6) My personal goal is 118lbs. but my doctor and husband want me at around 135lbs. to 150lbs. But I would be happier at 128lbs. But right now I hope to get down under 200lbs. before my vacation at the end of the summer. No matter what, we are all on the right track!!! Just keep smiling!!!!

Okay.....1) Open RNY (4/14); 2) 50, 5'2", 3) 346, 4) 292, 5) exercise each morning, Curves or walking almost daily, 6) 150.

Hi, Everyone! This was a great idea Robin, because we all do lose differently. (1) Open RNY 4/4/03 (2) 53 years old, 5'2" (3)Starting weight 355# (4)Current weight 297# (5) I hate exercise but also have good intentions...I try to walk or use an exercise bike 10 minutes a day (or untill I sweat; I also hate to sweat). Do you think, as the weight comes off, someday I'll grow to like it? (6) 150# or less. LOL

(5) treadmill for 30-60 minutes and weight machines for upper body and water arobics. Aprox. 3 times a week, whichever exercise I feel like doing one of those 3 days a week.
