Weight Wise program!

Hey everyone!

I arrived in Edmonton today for my initial consult at the WW program here in Edmonton on Monday.  Excited and nervous all at once.  Pray for me!  Tomorrow I plan to knock the socks of my fitbit by walking walking walking at West Edmonton Mall!

 LOL You sound like a woman with a mission!  Hope you wear out the fitbit before the credit cards!  Good luck with your meeting.  

Just wondering, where did you buy your fit bit?

I happened to find one on ebay that was gentlely used by a gadget teckie *****viewed it and then was done with it.  If you go to fitbit.com they are $99.  Rainyone bought her's from there and last I heard she is still using it....right?  Also Rhearob off the VSG board has one too.

I love my fit bit BUT I can't find it. I know it is around here somewhere lol. I remember taking it off and thinking I need to sync it BUT I didn't and put it down somewhere lol... It will turn up .
 
My sister bought me the aria scale and I love it. BEST scale ever. I weigh myself daily and it automatically uploads my weight to fitbit. com. I can see graphs and patterns. I actually focus less on the number . I know I don't need to record it or keep track of it.

I am lucky - I have amazing friends and family in my life. My fiance's ex wife bought me my fitbit as a mother's day gift and my sister my scale as a thank you for taking care of her dog and cats while we both did our trips for surgery.  I used to feed her and still do , but now that she has had the sleeve too... I make her itty bitty portions and pack them up , get her addicted to click, have her try all my protein powders and vitamins . It's a change for both of us.

Hope all goes well for you..

 i went thru the weight wise program aswell, i just had my surg june 5th. its truly a great program! so much information. if you have any questions feel free to ask me. whos your nurse? dietician? when were you refered? which modules/workshops have you done? what goals did they set for you at your assessment? best of luck! hope if you need to see an internist you get dr modi, she is sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo awesome! i adore her! what hotel are you staying at? we loved the best western city centre in, they treat us so well. very happy for you!

You've been on my mind, Niki!  The doctor says I was referred to WW in Marvh 2011 but interestingly enough when I sent him a fax in March, I got a call that I was "re referred" and was called at the end of May for July appointment (I was offered July or August and this was when my holidays from work were booked).  There do not appear to be modules over the summer so I'll evaluate coming back in September or October to do as many as I can.  I know I'm ahead of the game in that I use MFP to document every bite and wear a fitbit.  I think my meeting tomorrow is with Pam.  I'll fill you in on the rest after!!  I'm here with my mom and we are going to drive to Drumheller (my dad's mom was born there) for a quick see and then to Calgary.  Since it's Stampede, we don't expect to find a hotel (or it will cost and arm and a leg) so we will likely go on to Lethbridge for the night.  I am VERY blessed to have a fantastic supportive mom *****spectfully demands to be with me on this journey. :D

I'll keep you posted!

Good for you, I'll keep you in my prayers.   I agree with Niki, Dr Modi is great and very thorough.

I found too, they always tried to be accomodating and squeeze as many appt into your visit.  The modules are helpful and you're fortunate to have you mom along for the journey.

All the best, keep us posted.
