Roll Call

Hello everyone.... I know I know I have been MIA sorry....but my children have been sick and going through so much......and I have been at the chiropractors 3 times a week and foot doctor once a week......then running to work and working some week-ends....and getting all the christmas shopping done so now it done..... Ok who is here on this chilly hump day.....pre-ops post-op and non-ops.....come join us for roll call.....let us know how you are doing.... I see there are many new people here while I was away.....so those who don't know me I was denied 3 times from the insurance company.....before finally getting approval on a technecality.....I had open surgery on Jan 31, 2005....and have had two foot surgery's that have not let me exercise or walk for some time now......but on the good note to that I have lost 135 lbs.....went from a size 26 to a 14 and can't wait to lose the rest but I have not been moving I've been at the same weight now for 3 months......but I haven't given up ...... don't forget to take your vitamins' drink your water and get in exercise....and sign a surgery page or two..... I hope you all have a wonderful day.... Christine

Christine, Good to see you hun ~hugs~ I hope your foot is all healed now, can you go back to walking? I have to do mine again, I just can not stick with one thing all the time....grrrrrrr....O well it shall come.... well take care hun and it was good to see you. Debra P 285/193/125??

Hi Deb yes it is hard to stick to something so you might want to switch up and do something different....like walk outside today, walk on the treadmill, do some tae bo, walking videos, and so on....just so you dont feel like you are doing the same thing all the time..... As for my foot I have not been cleared by the doctor to start walking yet but I hope it is soon....cause I am starting to get bumed out about not losing weight.....but in time things should work out.... you have a great day hun.... Christine

Hi Christine.... Nice to see you again. I was MIA for a while too. I have been going through a bit of a depression over my weight loss. I am now a little over 14 weeks out, and have only lost 47 lbs. Even that at some weigh in's doesn't stay the same. I go back and forth from 44 to 47 lb. loss. I am flipping out, but I am here!!! Hope you continue to do well.... Hugs, Blanquie

Blanquie you have done a great job 47lbs in wonderful girl and don't let it get you down......yo may need to change something weather it is something you are eating or exercising.....yo may need to increase your calories, and dont worry about being a slow loser...slow loser tend to have elastisatie(sp?) that the skin bounces back to wear it should be as for me I have a lot of hanging skin......cause I lost fast......but don't let it get you down....you have lost 47 lbs that you were not able to lose before and I'm sure this is not the end for you I see a thiner Blanquie in the near future.... Hang in there hun....... Christine
