It's Been a Long Time...

Hello to everyone at the VBG Message Board. It has been a long time since I have been here. Nothing was really changing as far as losing weight. I lost my 120+ pounds... then nothing. Well... I am happy to report that since joining aerobics (3 weeks ago) and eating 1000 calories per day the last week I have lost 11 pounds. I am soooo stoked. I am getting really close to my initial end goal of weighing 190 pounds. Only 20 more pounds to lose!! Woo Hoo too VBG!! I have begun tracking my progress at fitday.com. It was really hard the first day I began watching my caloric intake. I ended up going to bed at 6:45 p.m. because otherwise I would have ruined (read eat everything in sight) the day. I was only able to stay at around 1150 calories that day. It has become fairly simple as the days progressed. I am pretty excited by that. I have never had the "best" will-power in the world. Just glad that I don't have to go to bed at 6:45 p.m. anymore... ha ha... Best Regards to All... Sharon Chute

Hey Sharon, I was wondering how you were! It's so good to hear from you I am so happy for you and your success...way to go!!!!!! You are an inspiration to me and always have been. I can't tell you how much I love to read your posts and everything. Big hugs, Sara

I am just now starting my journey, but I wanted to let you know I have found your posts, replies, and info on your profile to be most helpful. I copied the section on your profile: Pouch Rules for Dummies. I am most probably going to have my surgery sometime this summer-laparscopic VBG. I meet with my surgeon next week. Again, just wanted to say thanks for all the practical and meaningful words of wisdom. I know you will reach your goal-there's nothing to hold you back, if you practice what you preach-Dana Hornby
