Topic: RE: Woo Hoo, the real journey begins

Thanks Coreena. If you're in town I'd love a visit and I'll probably need all the support I can get. I'm so fortunate to have amazing support from my husband, my 3 kids and especially my niece. My boys live in Seattle & Ottawa and my daughter is in Moncton so they won't physically be here, but will definately be there in spirit.

Topic: RE: New Date

Thanks for lettin us know Chris. You must be frustrated waiting. When I had seen you had posted the date before, and I too am waiting on a date for the WLP... I wondered if we would be in on the same session. My goodness, too bad they could decide n keep to the schedule...I guess things happen.

Topic: A goal near reached

Well on feb 24th Dr Ellsmere gave me a goal to lose 30 pounds before surgery. Since i was 430.1 then, I knew it would be a while before i knew where my weight was going..or not lol because no scale would weight me. Well a girlfriend in Ontario told me of the biggest loser scales and that they weighed up to 400 pounds. So when i told my best friend, she dragged me out to wally mart n we bought them. Well that saturday night 3 weeks ago..i stepped on for just the hell of it, and of course... "ERR" showed. So i waited. well each time each week i tried but to no avail i saw "ERR". Well last week i jumped on n it twas a lil different...it went "0-0-0-0-ERR" even seeing those little 0's going across the screen before the ERR gave me hope lol

Well yesterday afternoon, after having a poo lol i though ahh what a better time to try again. Well OMG to my surprise it read 402.4...i immediately jumped off..thought..OMG is that right lol and i jumped back on... whoooo hooo lol it said the same 402.4 Needless to say i was so excited i called everyone i could think lol. Felt like i was rewarded for increasing my walk to 35 minutes that day lol all of it is surely paying off.

Thanks to everyone for your valued support and ear along my journey. It is much needed and very much appreciated.
