QOTD - Friday 9/17

Hi all, As I was walking into the gym this morning carring my gym bag which probably wieghs 30 pounds and my youngest daughter who weight 28 pounds I realized that I was carring over three times as much weight on my body 155 pounds ago. I was amazed at the struggle it was taking me to carry both of these items and thought about what my body had gone thru on a daily basis to carry my additional 154 pounds. So my question of the day is....what do you find easier to do now that you have lost so much weight? I can shave my legs without passing out! I can bend over and tie my shoes! I can fit in white plastic patio chair with room to spare!! I can fit on my own seat cusion on airplanes and do not need a seat belt extention! I can run! I can play with my kids! Basically I can live a pretty normal life!!!!!! I can not even imagine what life will be like whan I loose my last 50 pounds!!!! Love to all , Tanya -154 1 more pound and I will breat the 200 mark!!!!!!!

Hey Tanya, I think that we started at about the same weight when we had our surgeries. I also have lost 155lbs. I was at 362lbs., now I weigh 207lbs. I have 7 pounds to go, to hit the 200lb. mark! I'm hoping to do this by October 1st. This is my anniversary date. Anyway, I can walk, run, play baseball, basketball, tie my shoes, sit in chairs at the ball parks and symphony(with room to scoot)! And the love life isn't too bad, either!! My husband and family are very proud of me! Me too! Lovin' my life, Jane

Walking down the stairs. I can see where my feet need to go! (OK, I'm a klutz. I know

Hi Tanya... great question! * I can go up my basement steps without feeling like I need oxygen. * I can walk a lot faster and a lot longer. * I can get up off the floor without help. * I can also fit into those white plastic patio chairs (I sat in one last night and although I fit fine, I still sat down slowly just in case). * I can see parts of me that I haven't seen in 15 years. I also am living a more full life after losing 82 lbs. Although I wi**** were more and I have stayed the same for 3 months now, I still feel 100% better than I did last year at this time. I am so thankful for WLS... Pam
