Over 100

I'm sooooooo happy and i'm I went and weighed today. I will be 4 months post op the 20th and I am down 103 lbs. Still aways to go, but I am getting there. It feels so good to have reached my 2nd goal. First goal was to be out of the 400's since I started out at 444. Second goal was to lose my first 100 lbs. Man I cant imagine carrying a 100lb sack of something everywhere I go. Whew, don't ever wanna go back there again. Oh, I was in water aerobics after my surgery. Got sick, was in & out of the hosp my 2nd month. Membership ran out and don't have the finances at this time to join again. Soooooooo.. I am sick & tired of sitting on my rump and not doing anything. I have ZERO energy. I decided last nite that today was a new day. I am going to get in all my protein, all my water and WALK. I started out today with 1/2 of a mile. Gotta start somewhere. ~Jo~ 444/414/341/210? -103

Jo, you've lost 100 pounds since surgery or from your highest?? If its 100 pounds since surgery then girl you are kicking butt and taking names. Keep up the good work. Bikes are cheap at Wal-Mart... And they are fun-plus you work lots and lots of muscles. Christine 275/266/203/160 -63 from surgery -72 from highest 43 to MY goal (160) 28 to DOCS goal (175)

Thank you Christine I am -73 since surgery (Sept) -103 from highest (July) But my surgeon counts it from July since that was my pre-op appt. love ya, Jo

Wonderful Jo!!! I am so excited for you. You just keep up the good work. You know, walking is free! That is what I will have to do but at least I can do it. Take care of yourself. Smiles, jan

Thank You Jan Yes, walking is free. I have arthritis in both knees and back. But I was determined to do something until I can get back into water aerobics.. or until TAMS opens her pool Jo

You Go Jo! I'm a big fan of the walking. It's free! And you can do it just about anywhere. Keep up the good work! Best Wishes- Dx

Thank you Dex Yep and it's free....And you are right, I can do it just about anywhere. If it comes down to it, I can walk down this BIG hill and back up it. I do feel better today, not only physical but mentally. I made myself get back on track!! ~Jo~

Hubby Randall tells on you BIG TIME at the support group meetings !!! Now try and put that stuff down !!! I know that you can do it. And yes it is going to be hard. But I have a lot of faith in you. If anyone can do it, it is you. I believe in you !!! Tammy
