Starting the process..

Hi Everyone -

I was shown this site by my great friend Jill, the lovely (and now recovering from surgery!) Coopers_mom.  and I feel like it's time I introduce myself and start meeting you guys!

I'm Jennifer.  I'm 27, I have a daughter named Chelsea and I'm just over 6' tall and I weigh in at a cool 313lbs.  
Monitoring what I'm eating and fitting in exercise has taken me down from 323lbs.  All progress is good progress but I am very excited to finally myself of all of this extra weight before I start doing myself irreversable damage.   I already feel the toll it's taking on my knees and back.  Enough is enough!

I am thrilled to be a part of the Weight Wise group in Edmonton.  I had a moderate wait to start the program, but am currently completing modules and waiting on a call from the clinic to really get this show on the road! 

That call cannot come soon enough.  Here's wishing you all a great journey into a healthier life and feel free to say hi or introduce yourself.  I'm here to make connections and find support - or even a friend to attend modules with.  : )

-J.

Hope Jill is doing well.

Welcome to the boards and good luck in your journey!  I am also a part of Weight Wise and I love it:)  I am nearing the end of my modules, but if you happen to be taking craving change on the 8th I will see you there!

I called to see if I could squeeze in tomorrow and no luck!  

I've only completed the intro. module so far - scheduling sucks because I can really only attend evening sessions and, as a single mom, I also need to find childcare for that sortof thing as well! Regardless, my next module is booked for the 23rd in Spruce Grove - I'm hoping I can organize everything well enough to fire through the modules one every few weeks.  :)

I'm going in to see Jill tonight - can't wait!

Module 8 will be my last one until they develope module 10.  I really like this program, they are so great...and my nut is awesome:)  He's like a friend and it's great.  ANd the people in the clinic are wonderful and very non-judgemental.  Good luck with your journey.

Welcome


I am a recent "graduate" of the WW clinic....but was told that the door is always open if I need them...

What a feeling after almost two years in the program...and almost a year since my RNY surgery.

I am continuing to lose (slowly now)...and my referral to Dr Davey for my tummy tuck is next. (they just referred me last Monday)....so now I wait for a call from his office.  I doubt if he will do the surgery anytime soon, as I am still losing, but I wanted to be on the "list" and get the ball rolling.

Anyways, good luck...enjoy this journey...it will take you on a ride of life!

Thank you! - and congratulations on your success - that's wonderful to hear.  You look great and I bet you feel even better!

I look forward to seeing more progress for you!

You'll do awesome Jen!  Just put the work into it and you'll get what you want!

Love ya!

Jill

I like your snail. 

haha, I just changed it as I'm not losing like a snail now!  I've lost almost 10 lbs in 4 days and each time I get on the scale it's lower!  I know this can't last forever, but damn it's nice for now.

Hi Jennifer and welcome to the rest of your life! :)

I'm Kim, 31 and shrinking!! LOL It's amazing what a lil will and hardwork will do!!

Best wishes to a healthy new you!!

Kim
