Topic: RE: Stop being so hard on yourselves.....
Amen sister! Thanks for the reminder! I really needed it tonight...this journey is much tougher than I thought it would be. I thought it would be physically harder but I am being thrown for an emotional loop everyday. Its a constant struggle and lately I feel like I lose more battles than I win. It is so easy to get off track and fall into old habits. At least I am aware of them now. Thanks for the encouragement. 117 lbs for me and DAMN it that is good enough!

Topic: RE: pics of old me
I was actually stunned to see how I looked. I guess I didn't realize. But I do remember being in so much physical pain at that convention. I could hardly make it to the car. But looking at these pictures really helped me to put things into perspective. I was thinking that I hadn't lost all that much weight, but man, I look totally different. I've been thinking lately about how I now weigh what most people weighed before surgery. But now I am just grateful. And now I can see why everybody was trippin' when I went home in February!!! I kept thinking I haven't lost that much weight, but man, I was wrong.
I am going to try to post some pictures of me now, but I am still having trouble getting the pictures on my computer to post.

Topic: RE: Workout challenge 4
okay, not sure when was the last time I logged in my exercise, but yesterday i went outside and played with my niece for over an hour - runniing, tossing a ball and doing cheers, the day before i actually did 2 workouts, I did my morning circuit and then when i got home i did my strenght training because i didn't get to it the day before.
Also noticed this week, that when my half hour alarm goes off, I haven't been done so i kept going, so now i am up to atleast 40 minutes, maybe 45 - yeah me.
you guys are doing great and keeping me motivated - thanks!

Topic: RE: Anyone else having trouble with dry skin?
Hi, I saw Lisa's post about vitamins. I do take the Celebrate brand bariatric multivitamins, B-12 and Calcium Plus 500 also. Perhaps the vitamins do help prevent dry skin too. That makes sense. Lisa is so smart.
