Happy St. Patrick's Day to you as well. I will walk four miles this afternoon. I think I might try something new in the form of exercise this weekend. I seem to be stalled yet again. I have an exercise program called THE FIRM. It uses weights and a step. It is very intense. I think I will try to get through it this weekend and see how my weight responds to it. I will check back in with you guys on Monday. Have a fun weekend Sherry 276/196/130-140

Happy St. Patrick's Day everyone! I'll try not to over do it on the green beer Yesterday was my 7 month wls anniversary and I've lost -89 pounds. I really wanted to be at 207 for an even -90 pounds, but I'll take what I can get. Here's my exercise for the day: March's start weight: 214 Today's weight: 208 ***Elliptical w/ resistance levels 1-5 30 minutes 2957 steps 1.05 miles -343 calories ***Strength Training 4 sets each for hamstrings, quadriceps, chest, and back I also wanted to tell everyone about a new workout DVD made just for WLS patients from pre-op all the way through to maintenance. I think it's called Weigh 2 Win. It sounds fun, but I ain't paying $40.00 for it! I just thought I'd let everyone know about it. http://store.bariatriceating.com/weigh2winnew.html

Hi Lynn, I was reading about that video today... Was thinking about it, but not sure if I want to pay that much for it too.... We'll see. I have a couple others that I want to do first. Take Care Tammy

I'm telling ya Tammy, you WILL be in onderland by the end of the weekend! I can feel it! I AM Irish and am wearing my green John Deere t-shirt today! It's casual Friday here at work so I can get away with it! I weighed in at 196 this AM. Not as bad as I thought it was gonna be! I won't get my walk in today because I have more errands to run. My daughter has her FIRST DATE tonight for tolo! I am more nervous than she is I think! We did a french manicure on her toes last night and painted her nails to match the flower she will wear in her hair. I have to go pick up some pantyhose and a disposable camera for her on my lunch break. She is gonna look so pretty! I will post pics on Monday so you can all see how pretty she looked! My plan for the weekend is to walk the track at the HS before my daughter's fastpitch game tomorrow. I will walk my 2 miles (maybe more). Might even get hubby to walk with me! I don't think he can keep up! Have a GREAT time this weekend! Hugs back atcha! Lori 281/196/140

Happy ST. Paddy's Day Ev1!!! I went to the gym this morning and did 1 hour and 15 minutes in the circuit room. The dog will walk me for at least a half hour this evening! I am having lots of pain in my incisional area from the circuit room, anyone else have this? Stay Strong!!! hippie can't wait to see the pics of your daughter Lori! 291/219/160

I will post the pics just as soon as I can! Maybe even tomorrow! Lori

Did you have Lap or Open surgery? I recently had a ct scan on my left sice due to some discomfort. Dr. thought I may have a hernia. The ct scan came back normal, but I haven't been back to the Dr. yet to see what he thinks we should do next. If you're having pain, you may want to check with your surgeon, it may be hernia. They're pretty common with open surgeries. Good Luck Tammy

Thanks Lori.... You have better confidence in me hitting onederland than I do. Ok, so what's tolo??? Is this something at her school like a prom? Sorry, never heard of it. Sounds like she's gonna have so much fun. Anyway, thanks for the confidence boost. Tam
