Topic: New to the group!
Hi everyone! I just found this group - I have been playing around on the VSG forum. Glad to have found this local group, though!
I was just sleeved on June 27, 2012. I live in St. Paul area. Are there any support groups/meetings in the area? I love the forums, but I also know that I am going to want to meet local friends IRL, also!
Hope to get to know all of you soon!

Topic: RE: July Already Monday morning weigh-in!
The heat is definitely killer this week. I'm hoping the 5-mile race tomorrow is over before it gets too bad. I may be walking some if it is as hot as it has been. Whew!
Topic: RE: July Already Monday morning weigh-in!
I was glad I got to ride with you. It certainly helped me get extra miles in after having company for five days. I must have ushed a bit too as I got some cramping in my hamstrings. I put in about 32 miles this past week. SO what it did for me was to put me at the lower weight number in my range. So I was 255 Monday morning. This week will really be tough as the heat is just draining on the body. I barely went outside today. I will try and get a ride in early tomorrow befre it gets too hot.

Topic: RE: I need help
I do have a local WalMart but they do not have much of anything on clerance right now. I am only on here asking as a last resort. What I was hoping for was some pants, t-shirts and maybe 1 pair of shorts with draw strings that I can work out in.
Topic: RE: I need help
Do you have a Walmart nearby? Before my TT two weeks ago, I went there to the clearance area, and found tons of larger sized clothes for 1-5 $ each. A lot were really cute clothes. It was cheaper than the thrift stores and since I will only need them till I am done swelling, it wasn't worth the investment. Since you are only 2 months out, you don't want to buy a ton either because that will not fit you for very long anyways. Good luck.

Mel....I sure hope someone can help. If I had those sizes I would certainly give them to you. Good Luck!

Topic: I need help
I hate asking for help but I am at a point where I really need it. See I had my surgery almost 2 months ago. My clothes are starting to get far too big on me. I have checked the local thrift stores and cannot find anything the right size without paying only a couple dollars less than brand new, and the quality is def too low for that price. So, what I am in need of is clothes. Size 2-3x pants and shirts. I do not have a lot of money so I am looking for things very cheap! I will be down in St. Paul on July 9 and would be able to meet people then I am hoping. Thank you in advance.

Connie,
Great to hear from you! I was lucky that insurance paid for most of it or I wouldn't have been able to afford it either.
Miss you too!

Topic: July Already Monday morning weigh-in!
I can't believe it is July already! This summer seems to be flying by. Happily, I have this week off of work, but I have quite a long list of things I need to get done. My staycation is more like a long chore list, LOL.
It's going to be a scorcher this week, too! I need to remind myself to keep drinking and exercise early in the morning, when it's cooler. The good news is, you burn more calories exercising in the heat. It is showing this week for me:
Starting weight: 298.4
Last week: 139.3
This week: 138.5
Loss of 0.8 lbs this week
This is about where I want to be, so now the challenge is to stay there. I still weigh myself every day, and track food and exercise every day to help myself stay on track. Anybody else have tricks they use for maintenance?
Paul, thanks for riding with us on Saturday, that was fun. I sure was tired when I got home, tho. Running mileage this week: 16 miles on-the-dot, plus about 25 miles on the bike for the week. Still haven't managed to get myself over 20 miles per week running in the last couple of months. Maybe after the triathlon this weekend. I'm starting to get very nervous...
For those of you running in Apple Valley on Wednesday morning, see you there!
