Checking In...Just saying Hi!

Hi May Babies Just wanted to do a check in to see how everyone is doing! All is going well for me, I just started water aerobics which I absolutely LOVE!I went to pilates today and my core (abs) are sore! Shout out a hello and we can see how many people are still here on our Most Awesome May Losers Message Board! Jen

hi there Jen! I am here still not as often but when I can be! I had surgery on May 6th and am down 86 pounds so far in 4 months. I am currently on a 3 week plateau which I am not thrilled about and losing my hair like crazy! But other than that I feel great! How are all the rest of ya may babies doin??? hugssssssssssss Krista 327/241/150?

Hi Krista I am losing bunches of hair too! Luckily I have lots to lose! Great to hear from you! Jen

Hey NJ, I'm here and doing fine! I went to my PCP yesterday and she was thrilled to see me looking so good. Made me feel good, of course. She ran some blood work which I'll get a copy of and will share with my surgeon when I have my appointment next week (4 month check-up). Hopefully all is well except for what I already know isn't normal (calcium and parathyroid - they were off before surgery). Talked to my doc about pain in my side and she told me to keep a good eye on it. It is most likely gallbladder. Ick! I had a few days with some pain (not bad pain...just enough pain to let you know it was there if you know what I mean) and then nothing for a few days and today... it's back this evening. Had hazelnut encrusted tilapia (a fav!) with tartare sauce and green beans w/ butter. Must be the fat, eh? LOL! Will discuss the possible gallbladder issue with the surgeon next week. Not sure it is bad enough to warrant an ultrasound yet but I'll leave that to him. That's all from here! Kathy

Hi Jen, et al, I'm still hanging in there. I've lost 77 lbs now and have finally got a solid exercise routine happening for about the last 6 weeks. I walk for 50 minutes 4 days a week, 3 days a week I do strength training and 1 day a week, water aerobics. It is helping me feel very good. It hasn't sped up the weight loss, so I'm trying not to focus on that, just how good I feel. Lori 384/307/170

Hooray for May babies!! I'm still here. Not as much either. Feeling much better---energy level. I too have just started an exercise schedule. Aerobics 1 night, cycling class 2 nights, strength 1 night... I'm already seeing results from going. Guess what....tonight I cooked and I didn't even burn anything(HAHA). -64lbs Shawna

Hi New Jen!!! I am on here just about everyday now. I am feeling great and just got through posting some new pics on my web site. I just got the pictures back from the day of my surgery and was shocked at how I looked. Much Much happier now!!

Hey Jen, I'm still here...total loss of 70 pounds, and my energy has picked up as welll, it was really low at about 3 months. Still can't get that exercise routine thing down, but I'm working on it...I think that maybe, just MAYBE food is no longer my end all be all! School is kicking my but, but hey, it will be well worth it right? Thanks for checkin in darling. See ya

Hi Jen, Feeling great and enjoying the energy. Lost 58 lbs. and love the water aerobics 3x a wk and Curves 3x or more a wk. Always feel so good when I get the exercise in. Hair is getting thin and suppose it's par for the course for alot of us. Glad you are doing well and checking in with us all. M.

I'm still here. I usually just lurk . I'm feeling better everyday. Hopefully my energy level will continue to improve. I'm teetering on joining the onderfuls (203 and stuck) and hope to be there in the next week or so. Thanks for checking in!
