Topic: RE: How much lost in Feb????
Hi Sharon, I lost 7 pounds this month. I have started walking everyday, and I am trying to increase my miles each week. Last week I was walking 2 miles. I have been out of town and so I havent had much exercise, just going up and down the stairs about twice a day. I guess that is some exercise. Had to go see my doctor, been having stomach pains, so he did some tests. Hopefully by Friday, will know the results.
Everyone here is doing so well. That is great that you are just a few pounds from goal, way to go!! I have about 55 more pounds to go.

Topic: RE: How much lost in Feb????
Hi Sharon, I lost 8lbs this month, which for me was a good amount. Up until this past month I was not exercising regularly or keeping a detailed account of my food intake. I started Jan 31st using sparkpeople web site to track my food intake, water intake and exercise. This way I was able to keep on track and keep myself accountable for everything I put in my mouth. It also kept me motivated to exercise. I use my tredmill at least three times a week for 30 minutes, I have been pushing myself to increase my speed and incline and going farther in the 30 minutes. On alternating days I do muscle strengthening exercises. I was pleased it all payed off and motivated to continue what I have been doing.
My starting weight was 269 and am now 170. My own goal is between 140 and 150, I am not sure yet. My doctor never gave me a goal weight.
You have done great, I am sure you will get to your goal, you are so close. The warm weather is on it's way!

Hi Kim, sorry to hear of you having Fibromyalgia. I don't have it myself. I know it is difficult to diagnose and I have not heard of a connection with it and WLS. Sorry I can't assist you. I wish you all the best and hope you find a successful treatment option.

Topic: How much lost in Feb????
Hi All-I was just wondering how much everyone lost in Feb? I lost only 4 pounds. I have 3 pounds til goal of 150. I have lost 90 so far. I am comfortable with the weight I am now. I don't really want to lose too much more but will strive for the doc's goal weight of 150. I need to get my butt back into excercising. I have have been VERY bad this past month but am planning on starting the new month again on track! This winter and being cold to my bones because of no fat has me curled up with a blanket on the couch. I can't wait to get outside in the springtime!!

Topic: Fibromyalgia?
Any of my April Surgery Buddies suffer with Fibromyalgia? Were you diagnosed after WLS? Do you feel there is any connection between Fibromyalgia and WLS? I was just diagnosed and want to hear what works and what doesn't as far as treatment options. Your input is appreciated. Kim M.
Topic: RE: All Liquids Today
The same thing happened to me. Tacos - left over from the other night. I had one shell, couple spoons of 96% ff meat, ff shredded cheese, light sour cream, shredded lettuce and tomato..broke it up to make a little taco salad. I haven't even attempted the calorie count.
But I did wake up to a 1 pound loss. I'm doing all liquids again today..during the day at least. Maybe that is what I will do for a few days... just have one meal of actual food. I think if I lived alone by myself, I would have no problems doing all liquids... I would throw everything in my pantry and fridge out..but since my hubby won't let me... it is way to hard. This just goes to show, I have no control.
