Hi to everybody!  I just wanna shout!!!  Today I hit the 40 lb mark...gone forever!  Started at 265, my initial weigh in at Dr. Giovanni's office 2 weeks before surgery and its been 9 weeks since surgery...so 11 weeks all together! Im now 225! Im so happy and feeling wonderful!  Ive gone from a size 20 blue jean to a 14!  (mens)2-3x tee shirts, to a men's Large (ladies XL) yay!!!!   Ive gotta get my butt moving, tho, I seem to have an aversion to exercise!  I will join curves soon, but need to walk some too.  Is the group still walking at Slater Park on the weekends?

Hey Cathy!

Awesome! You're doing great!

Yes, there's the 'E' word but it's worth it. Trust me! Just a little walk each day will do your body, mind and soul some good! Just start out for five minutes, then six, then seven....before you know it, you'll be walking 30 minutes and enjoying it too!

We still try to get together every Sunday to walk. Wanna come? Slater Park 11 am.

Anyone else interested???

Keep up the good work, Cath!

We meet at the walk/bike path by the river all the way down in back. If you through the newport ave entrance, follow the road straight to the end. we generally park in the lot around the corner to the left.

Saturday is our huge LD picnic, wanna come? If I'm not too sore from doing all that all day Saturday, I'll definitely be there Sunday. Call me if you want!

You go, Girl!!

I don't worry so much about the scales now...I ADORE seeing myself get into those smaller clothes!! 

We do still walk on Sundays, as Jules said.  With the summer, tho, people have been really busy and not able to make it.  Give me a quick call and maybe we can set up another walk time, too.  401-441-2099 (cell).

Keep up the great work, Cathy!

congrats on your weightloss... keep up the awesome work!  i myself am not a fan of the "E" word either, but i gotta tell ya... it'll be so much easier if you stay ontop of the weightloss with the exercise... what a difference it makes...
curves is a great idea.  i get in a walk a day, along with something else...like wii fitness, wii active, a bike ride or a pilates tape. once you find a routine that suits you, it's nothing...

glad to hear you are doing well!!!!!!!!!!
