I have to DITTO the other responses. I, too, am like you! I havent exercised YET, either. I'm always going to "Tomorrow.".... and still waiting! I feel shame because the weight is dropping off and I am looking good but I need to fully utilize this 'tool' by doing my part and exercise, if only a walk around the block or getting on my exercise bike (that's in the corner den getting dusty)! So, after someone kicks your butt, kindly send it to my AZZ, too!.....LOL

I agree with Margaret. Exercise will help but most importantly dont be afraid to talk about it with your doctor.
Topic: RE: Biggest Joy, Biggest Regret
My biggest joy is the ability to be an "active" mother to my two children (13yrs old & 2 yrs old). To be a 'stunning, head-turning, jaw-dropping, drop-dead, gorgeous wife.' And to lessen my joint pains.
My Regret is that I had allowed myself to get so big and 'out of control.'
But that is behind me and LIFE is here!
Topic: RE: Biggest Joy, Biggest Regret
Karen,Like many others my biggest regret is waiting so long to have the surgery.
One of my biggest joys came this past week when visiting relatives a guy I hadn't seen since having the surgery didn't recognize me.He thought my husband was stepping out on me and confronted my brother in law, only to find it was still me on my husbands arm.
My next biggest joy is being able to enjoy life with out being tired and depressed all the time because of the extra weight.

Topic: Biggest Joy, Biggest Regret
OK folks. I have a question. What is your biggest joy and what is your biggest regret?
My biggest joy is seeing the shock on the people's faces who haven't seen me in a long time.
My biggest regret is first of all not getting this surgery sooner. Next is the fact that now that I am only 25 pounds overweight I still have issues. I am so proud of myself for loosing so much weight, but I am self consious about my skin. Like Rosanna Rosannadanna used to say, "It's always something." Karen

Hi. I have a question. I'm blond, so this may be obvious to others, just not me. On your weight you have 257/171/157. What exactly are those numbers for? I know the first one must be your starting weight. Is the second one the weight you are at now? Or is that a transitional weight? Is the last one the goal weight you want to be? Or is it the weight you are now? Oh, by the way, cheer up, after all you are the FRVSNT one and only. Karen

Hey Deneise the same thing happened to me about 2 months ago I mean I was really jacked up. I talked to my doctor about it and he said that it was due to losing weight so quickly and all of our hormones being stored in our fat cells. I opted not to go on medication but he did suggest a mild anti depressant until my hormones got back together I think it was like 5mg of paxil or zoloft or something. I did read in a health magazine that if you upped your exercise it makes the brain release a certain hormone that helps with depression. So I was wearing that treadmill out trying to get myself together. I feel alot better now however the moods come and go. I hope this helps you and I hope you feel better soon.
