Hi Debbie! I had my surgery on 9/25/03.....I weighed 353!!! I now weigh 266, you are doing fabulous!!! KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK!!!! Denise

Denise, Hello, Thank you very much. It also sounds like you are doing great also. And you keep up the great work also. Well be big time loser's before it's all over. I just think about it and it is just wonderful. Hugs and best wishes Debbie Moya Dr. Baker 9/22/03 354/230/147

Way to go, Debbie! I hope you enjoy your day at the gym -- go regularly, and you'll soon find yourself addicted. That's a believe-it-or-not story that I found to be true, once I joined a gym and committed to it. Now, I really look forward to my workouts, and I miss them when I can't get to the gym.

Hey Debbie, My name is Carol and I had my surgery on 9-22-03 also. I started out at 258 and down now to 178. Loss is so slow and frustrating. I havent joined a gym but I walk here at home on a treadmill and around the park 2 miles and I have my own weight equipment. Talk about pain! You will think you have died or been run over the first week but its a good feeling and if you dont get to go for a few days you will actually miss that pain! Things have been so out of sorts around here for two weeks and I havent gotten to walk or workout as much and I'm feeling it. I am hoping things will get somewhat back to normal soon so I can (my sis in law passed away on the 17th.). Anyway, I just wanted to introduce myself and say hi to you all and say what a great job ya'll are doing! Keep up the good work and stay in touch! Love & Blessings, Carol Kinard Lap RNY 9-22-03 258/178/110 on a wing and a prayer!

Thank you all very much. And it sounds like you all are doing fine. Well as you know I started the gym. Oh My God, Am I sore. Since monday I've been going to work at 5:00am. And then I get off of work at 1:30pm. Then I go to the gym and workout on 11 weight machines. and walk around the track 11 times which is 1 mile. Monday's, Wed., and Sat. I add in water aerobic's. So I get real tired and go to bed around 8:00-8:30. I'll go for now. Hugs Debbie Moya
