My four months check up

Just got back from my surgeon for a check up. I have lost 92 lbs since my surgery. My blood work is good. My surgeon is very pleased with my progress and so am I! Have a great weekend, Sue PS - Will finally post some pictures this weekend!

Sue! Good for you! 92 lbs is superb. I am at 56 this morning. I am moving slowly but surely and feel great. Any secrets to how well you are doing?

Hi Sue, I also had my surgery on 04/12/06 and my progress is about the same. I've lost almost 60lbs, but I'm not complaining. Carla

Congrats Carla! You're doing fantastic. Let's hear it for all us losers! Sue

Hey, you have my maiden name! Anywho, probably one of the main reasons that I lost so quickly because I had some nasty complications and had to go back and forth with liquids (I wrote all about it in my profile). But last month, I joined the gym and have been going 3 - 5 times a week. Nothing too involved, just the treadmill and a few machines for the trouble spots, but since I turn 47 tomorrow, I am not looking to overdo it exercise wise. I did set the treadmill to the weightloss program and found that it was too easy for me so I have been doing the cardiovascular program. I see all the young people running on the treadmill and I am content to walk my mile or so in a half hour! Oh, and the other thing is that I started heavier, at 326, so I think we tend to lose more at first (I could be wrong, of course!). Congrats on her weight loss too! We all great big losers!!! Sue

Hey that is great! I have lost 57 poinds so far, am kind of at a stand still for the past 3 weeks, feeling kind of bummed. I started the gym last week and I am going three to 4 times a week along with lots of walking....still worried about only losing 3 pound this whole month but really happy for you!! :-D You go girl!
