Hello Everyone, I had a pretty good weekend. Excersiced both days and ate pretty well. the only hard thing was I went to my daughters church this weekend and they had a potluck. There were so many yummy things that I had to pass up. Oh well nothing tastes as good as thin feels. I am at 43LBs and holding. Hope everyone is doing well. Lynn

Hi everyone! Lynn, I love that: NOTHING TASTES AS GOOD AS THIN FEELS! That's my new catch phrase! Good one! I have now lost 36 lbs! I have been losing about 5 lbs per wee****il this week! I guess it's my turn to stall! Although exercise has not been my thing, I know I HAVE to keep it up! The WLS is just a tool. My eating habits are changing, but I need to exercise too! Exercise is my goal for this week! Good luck everyone! ~Alisha 275/239/170ish

Good morning. I am so happy to have found this message board. I had my surgery June 23rd, and I have lost 41 lbs. I thought that I was the only one with my weight loss slowing down! What is everyone doing for excercise? My husband and I are going to take Ballroom Dancing lessons!! ~Robin 285/244/165

Good morning. Had a really busy 4 days. Started with my hubby's 50th birthday on Thursday, and his big surprise of our "son" from Germany flying in for the weekend,and meeting us Olive Garden. Sebastian was our exchange student 12 years ago. We have stayed very close, and he decided to fly in and surprise him. Cris was just floored. The party continued on Saturday night in Baldwinsville with a surprise gathering of our close friends and family for his birthday. Then....everyone came over yesterday to continue the party during the NASCAR race. What a weekend! And I survived it all being on liquids!!! On the weight side, I have now lost 26 lbs since surger and 35 lbs since the beginning of journey. I'm very pleased with this. Have a great week everyone. I think I'll rest until I have to photograph a wedding this weekend! Take care and God bless, Deb

Hey Lisa, I walked! I walked 5+ miles on Saturday night and walked another 2.5 on Sunday morning. I took off last night because it was too hot! I usually walk 4 miles everyday. My food is not a factor...I don't enjoy eating like I used to so I dont' sweat it! I eat because I have to.....actually I leave post it notes around the house to remind me to eat at such and such a time. Weird..... I have found the joys of a Boca burger. They are okay and don't offend my pouch. I have a pretty grumpy pouch and it doesn't like a lot of different things...no fish...no beef....cottage cheese...eggs...so I am pretty limited on what I can actually eat. I have gone down...since surgery....4 pant sizes.....from a 22 to a 16 and tops I wear a medium now......before surgery I wore a size 28 pants (tight) and a 3X-4X top......so down quite a bit from then. I have discovered that I have bones.......what a novelty! Weight is pretty steady right now but still down 1 pound..so far...from last week. My official weigh in day is Tuesday so who knows what might happen. I have lost a grand total of 118 pounds since last September. Since 6/1 I am down 50 pounds......unreal! Hope everyone has a good day! Sue

Good Morning/Afternoon!! I have been really busy with all the wonderful weather we have had in the past few days. I can't remember the last time I was this tan. I used to refuse to go out because it was too hot! Now, I can't wait to get out. My weight cannot decide if it really wants to go or stay. I have been fighting the same 5lbs for about 3 weeks now. I finally lost a couple more over night! I am down 41lbs since surgery. I get a little aggervated some days because I wanted to be down almost 60lbs by the end of this month. I just keep forgetting if I didn't have this tool, I would still be at 300! Hope you have a wonderful week. You are doing so great! Shelley

Hi All, I am down 45 lbs, 30 since surgery and am HAPPY to be losing. I don't care how fast or slow as long as it happens and it WILL. Yippee! I walk 30 minutes everyday and want to start some small weights now. My clothes are fitting better, down from a 22 to an 18, yippee again. I am flying August 17th to my nieces wedding, can't wait to see if I fit in the seats easier and can put the tray table down further Jo

Hello everyone, I weigh every Monday but I did not get to go weigh today. I will weigh tomorrow. I am still battling my energy level. The Doctor did blood work last week and all was o.k. I go back to work on 8-15-05 and sure hope I get more energy by then. I just cannot seem to do more than one thing at a time. Other than that all is great!! Thank you all for sharing. joni.6.27.2005.RNY
