Excited to see the board!
Hi Everyone~ :wave:
My name is Jaimee, I am almost one year post-op (RNY) and I am so freaking excited to see an ACTIVE exercise board/forum. A little about me.... I started my journey in May of 2005 @ 365 pounds. I lost some weight through the pre-op program and weighed 323 pounds the morning of surgery (8/31/05). I am currently bouncing between 190-195 pounds. I'm tall (5'9") with a large frame, my goal weight is approx 175 pounds. Maybe less....I guess I'll decide once I hit 175. I absolutely love to exercise. I've always gone through spurts where I would exercise, but as you all know, its not easy to exercise with some much excess weight. Now I love to work out and crave getting a good sweat in everyday. :-D
I work out at home, I have a treadmill, elliptical, a full set of dumb-bells, an exercise ball and tons of dvd's. I would love to join a gym and work with a personal trainer, but I have a pretty hectic work schedule so I do what I can at home. I'm going to ask for a few session with a personal trainer for Christmas.
I look forward to getting to know everyone on the board!!
