Linda, you're post brought a tear to my eye... I could feel your voices being crushed.  You are an inspiration.  I too want to banish those voices in my head that seem to creep back in all the time.  Thank you for putting into words what I am feeling.  I wish you luck, but I know you don't need luck because you will be running across the finish like...With out a doubt in my mind.

You're doing much better then me.  I haven't even got off the couch :-(.  Maybe that is why I  have been feeling like sh*# this week because I said I would do  this and did nothing.  You should be so proud of yourself.  You are doing something that you promised yourself.  You don't know how valuable that is.  When you make a promise to yourself and keep it, it allows you to build on your self conference and self esteem.  Keep up the great work you are an inspiration!!!

Topic: RE: Psychologist/Psychiatrist recomendation?

Unless you have a particular history that dictates a Psychiatrist, a Psychologist will be accepted (watch the wording when looking)

 

I suggest contacting Michael L. Sakowitz, Ph.D. is a psychologist (NJ 35SI00148700) and member of ObesityHelp's Mental Health Board. He’s located in Wayne NJ. No matter where you are, I highly recommended going.

Home from the gym, and a little disappointed.

 

While I “advanced" a little in time (5 minute walk – 5 minute jog – 4 minute walk – 1 minute jog – 5 minute walk) – I was not able to sustain the first 5 minute jog at the 2.0 incline and eventually had to go to 0 incline.

 

However I am happy I did a total of 20 minutes of “something" compared to 12 minutes only 1 week ago …. and absolutely zippo 8 days go :D

Good Luck on your Journey !!

You go girl. This is a great thing you are doing. Anyone who help raise money for any kind of cancer is OK in my book. I will cheer for you all the way.
As you know my husband had cancer and my brother in law has a rare blood cancer.

Topic: RE: FINALLY!

Ahhh the Weight Loss Surgery roller-coaster, gotta love it. Just know, in the end it ALL WORKS OUT !!

Like many here, know I am here if you need.

As for Whey, try them now because some taste like sweet sock water. My suggestion, make sure you get one that is COMPLETE WHEY, Low fat (lactose) that has no more than 25 grams of protein; 8 carbs; and 180 calories per serving. Of course your Doctor/Nutritionists may suggest otherwise, so go with that.

Good Luck on your Journey !!
