Here goes nothing!

Wow... I thought you lost all that weight AFTER the surgery. That's amazing!. One thing I dropped was Diet Pop. I was sooo addicted to it, but I realized how much sodium was in it. I still hate water, but I've been hitting the Crystal Light and I love that. Gonna start swimming soon doing aquafit in the mornings I think.

no, i haven't had surgery yet. I seen Dr Ellsmere feb25th for my hernia, and he said he was going to give me wls to get to 250... put me into the wlp etc... well it takes a bit to get into their scheduled program.... i have gone to their info session but my one on one is not til november. I made a committment to change my lifesyle for life...  in reading the wlp info etc and doing it and their program... my weigh keeps coming off.
changing ones habits is alot of hard work after having them for 48 years. I realize having wls is only a tool which helps... the hard work is with me... so I guess I am working on what I can while I wait.

Keep working on what you can MissCricket... you will get there ;)

I will! I stocked up on Whey Isolate at Costco last week (it was on sale) so I'm gonna start having a protein shake in the morning to get my butt goin', and when my pool opens back up I'll be back at Aqua-fit. I lost 4 lbs. so far just by quitting DIET pop.

glad to see your coming out of your shell a bit more i am so glad you started this journey and happy you contacted me.  i have met some pretty amazing people so far and i too am just beginning and i love it you will too i am sure.  being able to relate to people who have weight issues also and seeing how they do different things to help themselves lose the weight is just awesome.  some day soon we will have to go for a walk together or maybe the aquafit program.  maybe i will come in to that some day with you.  all the best to you and glad you started seeing you as worth fighting for   ox ox

Roses, you are totally an inspiration because you really put yourself out there, regardless of the possibility of criticism and you probably opened the eyes of many people.  I AM finding it supportive to relate to others in like situations and I will not be giving up.

I really dont care what people think of me is any of this helps just 1 person than its all well worth it.
