Topic: RE: Is Anybody Else...
Hi Jane! I was working out (walking a mile or 2) about 1 or 2 times a week on my own, but nothing structured or very hard.
4 weeks ago I joined 24 hour fitness (BIG chain of gyms out West) and signed up for personal training. I've been doing the personal training twice a week for 3 weeks now and LOVE it! It's really expensive ($300 for 6 sessions) but it totally keeps me motivated. I may not buy another group of sessions because of the money, but I have really enjoyed it so far!
I have seen HUGE results already in 3 weeks. I go to the gym 5 days a week where I do my weights for 45 minutes, then 40 minutes of cardio (either eliptical, upright bike (recumbant is toooo easy) or treadmill) then sometimes I'll time it go I can take water aerobics after all that. I also take Yoga there once a week.
I feel AMAZING! my body is so much stronger, it has helped so much with my energy levels and with falling asleep at night.
I don't think working out with help with my excess skin, but it just makes my body look stronger and more toned instead of incredibly sloppy.
Have fun!!

Topic: RE: 3 Day weekend plans
i'm working on Monday so I can take an extra vacation day whenever I want to. I'll be at the gym Friday for personal training, then going out to a lovely local irish bar that night. Saturday more workouts and hopefully there will be nice weather for a run outside! Sunday MORE workouts and hopefully some sleep, then monday work!
Typical weekend for me I suppose, nothing out of the ordinary, but getting ready for my parents to come visit me from Michigan for a week. Also trying to occupy my time while my boyfriend is in Vegas with his buddies this weekend.
Have a great one!

I am such a Happier person and most important an Healthier person.
My Diabetes, high blood pressure, and high cholesterol are normal now.
This surgery has been the best thing I could do for myself!
No regrets here!

Topic: RE: 3 Day weekend plans
I am really looking forward to the long weekend. The traveling Vietnam Wall is here for the weekend and I am volunteering each of the 3 days. I am working as a medic and then will be assisting in the grief/loss tent as needed. I am so excited....the memorial came into town yesterday with 1000 motorcycles escorting it in...what an awsome and moving sight. I am hoping to get in some biking and then I have an actual "date" on Sunday for dinner. This dating thing is something new for me......it is fun but, also can be frustrating and confusing. I am too old for all this...LOL Have a good weekend, everyone!

My all time favorite is Anais Anais. I have had to hide it from my teenage daughter...she would swim in it if it was left out for her!

I had my open RNY on Oct. 24, 2003 and have lost 97 pounds! I have gone from a size 24 pants to a size 10...well, almost if I don't wear them in public. But hey...I have them on an zipped...LOL I have tons of energy and would do this all over again in a heartbeat! I am about 15 pounds from my goal...I am so close, I can taste it. I had a few weeks with no weight loss but, this week, I have lost 2 pounds, so, hopefully, it is starting up again. Congrats to all of us "losers"...!!!

I love LeJardin by Max Factor and wear it all the time. I also love Vera Wang and my husband bought me a big bottle last Christmas but I don't wear it very much because it's soooo expensive! LOL

I had my open RNY done by Dr. F. Obeid at Hurley Medical Center in Flint, MI on October 13, 2003. To date I've lost 82 lbs. I still have 40-50 more that I want to lose and I'm not losing as fast as others but I feel wonderful! Wearing XL pants & shirts and no longer snore or have to take meds for diabetes or high blood pressure. I am still tired a lot but i still feel better than before WLS that's for sure!
