THANKS FOR THE NICE COMPLIMENT SANDY I APPRECIATE THAT. MY TOP WEIGHT WAS 328 BEFORE SURGERY. I LOST THE 28 POUNDS SO ON THE DAY OF MY SURGERY I WEIGHED 300. THEN 78 AFTER THAT FOR A TOTAL OF THE 106...LOL
YOU'RE DOING GREAT YOUSELF CONGRATULATIONS ON YOUR WEIGHT LOSS. I'VE GONE TO FITDAY.COM BUT I DON'T USE IT. I JUST DO EVERYTHING ON MY OWN COUNTING CALORIES & WEIGHING MY FOOD,EXCERSIZING....YOU KNOW THE USUAL.....LOL
KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK YOU'LL BE AT YOUR GOAL IN NO TIME.

Topic: RE: So Frustrated... I need support!
Like I said many times over the fit day program is the bomb. I set goals with it. It tallies your calories-carbs-protein-fats for the day. then you can modify your food choices according to what you have already eaten during the day. It tweeks things when your not sure what is going wrong. My nuitritionist wants me to intake 100 grams of carbs per day...that is like hard since I was not eating any bread, rice or potatoes....so now I eat a small bowl of all bran to up my carbs for the day. I just know my Dr.s office and their support staff have given me all the clues to loose, now it is my choices if I use them. Sandy

Topic: Pleasantly Suprised**Adult Content**
Hello Everyone
This is kind of an awkward post but I figured there was a lot of people who have experienced something like this so here goes... On Friday my ex and I met up to talk about us getting back together. Well, long story short we are together again. We spent the night together and one thing led to another and we wound up..well you know . The sex had always been great between him and I and he always loved me for who I was, even at my highest weight. But let me tell you, having lost -108 lbs. has given me a whole lot more enjoyment in my life than I thought . I can't believe how incredible it was. Both him and I were pleasantly shocked at how easy it is for me to move around now. We now have a new reason to thank my surgeon But I think he may have helped create a monster . I hope I wasn't too graphic with this post, I tried to choose my words carefully and be as brief as possible . Thanks for listening and God Bless..

Congrats Lisa!! Great job!!
I have begun running and I am most probably going to be doing my first 5K next Saturday - not 100% sure yet though - we will see.
Regardless, you are an inspiration!
God bless you and keep you,
