Hi Everyone!
This Thursday's topic will be maintaining weight loss! Mama Amy from Unity Hospital sent me a great article and I've found a few other informational articles I'd like to share. I know many of you are pre-ops or very recent post-ops and not yet in maintenance, but the the same tips are probably part of your plan already. I love the idea of everyone sharing ideas and goals for long term success! I look forward to seeing everyone Thursday!

I am still struggling with the weight. I am up 2 pounds and that is after two weeks of increased walking/biking. I did 3 x 5ks (9.3 miles) this week plus 19 miles on the bike. I thought it was a pretty good overall effort. However, the food thing must be put in better balance.
Well it is a new day....Onward!!

Topic: Good Monday morning--time to weigh in!
Good morning, everyone! It's a gorgeous morning, hope you are all feeling great!
I had a pretty good week. That 2-3 lbs that comes and goes went away this week, and I'd like it to stay lost. It won't, though, not this week. I need to carb-load before my race on Saturday, so I will be deliberately eating lots of carbs and hoping to gain weight--isn't that a weird thing to say (and do!)???
Starting weight: 298.4
Last week: 142
This week: 137.9
Lost 4.1 lbs this week
Paul: total run mileage this week was a bit lower: 21.3 miles, plus one elliptical day at 3.7 miles. You'll beat me this week, I bet!
For those of you who missed it, we had a fabulous time at the Charities Challenge 5K on Saturday! There's a great photo slideshow at http://www.charitieschallenge.org/html/challenge_obesity_5k. html
You will see lots of our members looking good and strong! We have plans to do it again this summer, so watch the board for more details!!
