Topic: RE: April Roll Call
Hi everyone!
Tomorrow is my 6 month anniversary. I hit the century club on Easter Sunday....I'm down 100.4 lbs!! Wooohooo! Only 38 lbs. to goal. I am wearing 16's and some 14's now. I think it was possibly jr. high since I've worn 14's!!!! I still need to work harder at getting my exercise in. That is my biggest challenge. Now that spring is here, I really have no excuse at all. Keep up the good work everyone!!

Topic: feeling lousy
I am a little depressed. I have lost 95 pounds which is great, but I feel lousy. I have no energy. I have congestive heart failure and only half my heart works. I hoped losing weight would help my heart but it has not. I stopped one of my heart meds, but it is not helping. My labs are ok. At least I have lost enough weight to qualify for a heart translant, which was my goal. I just needed to vent, I feel I should feel great but I dont.
Topic: RE: Biggest Joy, Biggest Regret
Hello everyone,
My biggest joy is losing lots of weight and feeling so much healthier now. My biggest regret is allowing myself to become an overweight person all of those years. Not to mention, I have one regret from the surgery. I fear all the time that I will not lose anymore weight. I still feel very much connected to food especially now that I have my appetite back. I wished to never be hungry or have an appetite after this surgery.

Good question. My biggest regret is missing out on so many things with my hubby and children. If only I could go back in time.
My biggest joy is being able to do all those things now.

Hey girlie,
I thought I was going crazy.
Did not have the nerve to post my sadness on the board. I know we all need to be excited about our weight loss and our new tool.
I just feel so sad. Everything makes me cry. I can not turn to food to comfort me so I turn to Hubby. He is trying so hard. I am hoping it will go away.
Glad to know it is not just me.

Oh ladies...thank you...sniff...
Yeah think I'm gonna burn some calories and energy off at lunch. It'll be around 45 degrees at lunch so I can walk outside without FREEZING!!!
The numbers 257 - starting weight - 170 (TODAY) is where I'm at now - 157 - is the goal I have set next.
I actually have a few goals. 150 is where my next one will be, then 143, and POSSIBLY 135.
Again...thank you!!!

Hi Karen, Great question! My greatest joy is that I am no longer diabetic or have high blood pressure or high cholesterol, I am so blessed to have my health back. I will have to add to that the joy that comes when I see peoples mouths drop open cuz they haven't seen me in a while and they are amazed how different I look, truely priceless!!!
My biggest regret is that I am dissappointed that I let me body go to waste like that for so many years.
I am thankful to have a second chance for a better life that is for sure.
Blessings to all of you!
