Considering a second sleeve

Nope, I haven't but I had a knee replacement a couple of years ago and I don't do anything that
will injur my knee.

I gotta figure out something else to do.

I know you hate exercise, and I was wondering if you had something like my mom does.  All the old ladies get together in the mornings during spring-summer and do water aerobics.  I have done it with them a few times and it's actually pretty fun... Do you have a community pool around you?  Even if you don't have a class you could get one going yourself - how fun would that be?!!

I know I am not in the exact same boat as you, but I have been struggling with the last 15 pounds I have to lose for months.  I am ready to admit that I am done losing, everone that had surgery around my timeframe is already at goal.  I increased my eating and lost some weight, but it seems to be creeping back up on me again.... Sometimes I wonder if I will ever get to my personal goal...

Hey switch sister =)  This girl is not at goal. I am down 159 lbs and still need to lose 35 lbs to hit my pre-plastics goal. My plastic surgeon wants me to lose 20 before surgery which is doable. I just wanted you to know that you are not alone! I have just started adding exercise in; with the nice weather I have started walking to/from work when the sun is shining, so that's 1-2 hours a day. As long as I can put down the chocolate I think the rest of my weight loss is doable. You can totally do it Kristi!!

I'll consider the pool.  It is just getting me there to do it...I'm SOOO lazy.

Swimming sounds like fun but will I do it...by the way, I'm not a little old lady....lol

I read one of those motivational things once. I think it was Tony Robbins...
that said if you improve just 1% per day that you would improve 360% by the end of a year.  
So I thought well if I walked one minute a day and increased it by another minute
each day that by the end of the year I would be walking 6 hours a day .


uhhhh that seems a  bit much.....on the other hand.....it might be easier than
another surgery.

Well, if you did it that way, you'd be walking a full hour by the end of two months, and that would be phenomenal!

You know Miss Elizabeth your are right on!  I will start with 5min tomorrow and add one minute a day. 

I do think my age is a huge factor in this mix...Tony can keep his six hours a day...whew that is a lot.

Hi Betty,
Well, I stalled from Oct to the end of Dec... then lost 5lbs, then during the last 4mo lost another 5lbs.  Have 9-10lbs to go for a normal BMI, but it's very slow going. 

I'm not sure how to help ya!  I'm in the same boat, but closer to goal but those 9-10lbs seem like a much bigger number, when the weight just hangs on. 

Do we need to have a little 3way challenge?  Betty, Kristi & me?
