Yes, I can do "lower" carb, but most veggie sources for protein does have carbs...like beans and tofu. I just have to keep an eye on other carbs. No bread or rice for me!

I think it's the NSVs that ultimately keep you going. I've noticed quite a few positive changes in my body, even if the scale didn't want to cooperate.

Better a "slow loser" than a "no loser" I say!!!  Just think how long it would've taken to lose that 50 lbs before surgery!!! I'm like you... whether it's 1 lb or 20... I'll take it!!!  Keep up the good work & keep walking!!! I'm right behind ya!!! Cece

My sentiments exactly Cece! Any loss is good. I feel better each day and I'm on my way to being healthy. Walking is going to play a big part in my health.

Hi, I just wanted to add in that you everyone reacts differently after surgery and the "kick in the ass" you said you needed, well I think being as proactive and brave as you were to get the surgery is pretty darn amazing too!

Thank you! I try so hard not to compare myself to others, but it's hard to do when others are doing the comparing...can't control that.

Hi Jane. Come to think of it, I expected to lose slower than most. I think it was just hearing it from the surgeon was sort of a blow to me. Either way, I'm thrilled with my weight loss. I'm wearing 16W down from a 22W. Can;t be unhappy about that!!

That's it Cheri. Let's make a pact right now to exercise. Nothing extreme...let's commit to walking for 20 minutes 3 times a week. Whadya say?

I know the exercise is going to be instrumental in my success. It's not always easy to find the energy after a long day at the office. No more excuses though, I have to treat it like an appointment with myself that I just can't break.

We will do it, Cheri. I know we will.
