amazing mike. keep up the good work

Wow, thank you for replying. I was beginning to think I was the ONLY one here. Will search for the Zumba DVD's. Are they very difficult? Today, I started another stall, it's so frustrating, I can't stop thinking I'm doing something wrong, although I know I'm doing everything right, just need to up the exercise. The treadmill does get very boring. I bought some resistance bands and am working on my upper body, especially the arms. My gosh, I am sooo weak in my arms, it's scary. The hair loss has been very emotional as well. My hair is about shoulder length, but is getting thin in the front on my scalp. I'm trying to style it to cover up the skin. I was so thrilled to see you live in Sacramento. We used to live there for many years too! We lived near the river by Chevy's. We've been here in Albuquerque for almost 3 years now. I do miss being close to family and the bay area. Living in the desert is quite different, but not nearly as hot as it gets there. Haven't I seen you on the main board before? That's where I spend most of my time, except lately, it's gotten so nasty on there with people being so rude. Somehow in the past few months, it's gotten so negative instead of being the support site it was intended to be. But, that's just my opinion. Thanks again for the suggestion of the Zumba tapes. I'll look for them. Kelly

You Look Great!!!

Thanks Tracy!

Hello December '07 friends. Last Saturday (the 19th) was the 4-month mark since my RNY. More progress photos if you aren't getting tired of them already. As of today, I've lost 97 lbs since surgery and 151 lbs since my highest weight. That wonderful goal weight is a tantalizing 53 lbs away. You can see my photos at the URL below. The links along the top of the page will move you from photos taken on and before the day of surgery, to the most recent 4-month updates. Make sure you check out the Quick Look page to see the photos lined up my date. http://web.mac.com/mikeprevost/Site/Surgery_Day.html Mike
