Hi Sue you are doing great. 

You are right,  not many post here anymore but Its great to see the people I shared my first hard year with.  Thank you for checking in.  

I am living life and loving it.  Cheers! Here's to 7 more.

Hi,

I still check in.    Happy 5th.   I am doing well.  Just had Panny surgery.  Trying to get over the pain. 

I do not regret in any way have WLS. It was the best thing I have ever done for myself other than letting the Lord guide me.

Wow. My weight stable for 3 years. I exercise, eat right (most of the time), drink water, take vits. I feel great.  My only regret is not to have done it sooner in my life.

Happy anniversary everyone.  We did the right thing.

Pam

Happy Anniversay EVERYONE! 2 years... wow! I use to read other profiles about people who were 2 years or more out and would just marvel at how far they have come. NOW, I marvel at all of us. I am so pround of everyone who made that giant step. I tell people all the time, it was not the "EASY" way. Mentally and physically it was not easy. To maintain is not easy either but is so worth it. I loved my life at 360 but I love my life more today. Happy Anniversay All. Pam

I'm working with you girl! Still exercising every day at least 30 mins. Trying to exercise 2x a day at least 3 days a week. On weekends up the time to 60 minutes sessions. Pretty much keeping on track. My weight is waffling around from 183 to 179 to 182 to 181.5 to 183 again. What the heck! I don't weigh every day but for the times I do it has been all over the board. I have been exercising so consistently now, it is a habit. Thank goodness because I need that habit. When I don't do something to sweat during the day, I feel like something is missing. Another good thing! I don't go to the gym because I really haven't found one I like. (I think I'm too cheap) Plus it's so easy to do exercise tapes and no excuses when working out at home. But I do need to up my weight training and can only do that at a gym. So after the 1st of the year when they have all the special, I might look into joining one. Keep going. Take care Pam

Hi everyone, Been MIA again. My computers has been down. My computer genius hubby has been out of town. So no internet or updates. Wanted everyone to see my new picture posted. Finally! I don't look really happy in that picture but I am! Just checking in. You guys are my life line. Have fun and take care. Pam

Tammy , Happy day to you! You been the breathe on this board. Keeping it going. Another successful year to you. You've done great! You have the right attitude. I been AWOL but am because of working 2 jobs but I will be posting little more for now on. Looking good. Have fun. Pam

Sorry again. I have been really MIA. Still exercising every morning. Trying to get in a little sweat some evenings. Working a 2nd job is really taking away from the "me" time. And I thought I had "too much time on my hands". But still working out.... "never give up! never surrender!" Have fun! Pam

I know... I know.... I have been MIA but.... I have been exercising in the morning. I have been working a 2nd job in the evening. So of course have not been logging online alot. So every morning this month but Sunday have been working out. No 2nd job on Sunday a complete day of rest. Pam

Hi Tammy, You know I'm in. My challege to myself in May was to exercise 2x per day. This will be the new one. Thanks Pam

Hello!! Day 29 exercise 1 hour. Was off of work that day. Day 30 today exercise 35 mins am. and 1 hour pm. 1 more day and May is gone! What happened to the time? 2 more months and it will be 1 year! 1 year since surgery! In someways I know I am different but in many ways I still feel the same. (not just weight either). Surgery has change alot about me. (All for the Good). Pam

Well..... did 40 mins of walking video this morning. (what was I thinking). It was actually kind of taxing. I think 30 mins in the morning is enough. Going to do 30 mins this pm already have my work out clothes on. This month is quickly coming to a close and I am pretty proud of my exercise record. Could have been as succesful without all the encouragement from my August 2005 message board pals. :hugs: I have to put in a little song today. Because I appreciate everyone who (especially Tammy) who has kept this exercise post going. Thank you! And get ready to shake your money maker!

checking in! Exercise for day 20, 21, 22 and 23. Still trying to do 2x per day; even if it just 15 mins. I have about 15 out the 23 days have exercised 2x per day. Also been keeping an exercise journal. It's been fun and motivating trying something new with exercise. And after bad mouthin' my Kathy Smith Project You tapes... I have to say I really like them now. As always... Have Fun! Pam
