5 month pics

Hello!!!  My DH just took my 5-month pics (I hit 5 months yesterday) and I added them to my page.  I have to say this journey has been amazing so far!  I feel so much better and healthier!!  I've been sick for a little while now, but even on my not so good days right now, I feel 110% better than I did before this life-changing surgery!  I'd do it again in a heartbeat!

You have done awesome.  COngratulations, keep up the good work.

WOW you look GREAT and you have done so WELL!!! Thanks for putting up new pictures. Helen

You look amazing!! Congrats on your weight loss!!!

Thanks everyone!  I love all the support here - really makes you feel so good!!

Hey, Jodi - You are looking AWESOME!!!!  What a transformation...  Sorry to hear you've been sick and hope it's nothing to do with the surgery.  Hopefully you'll feel much better soon!  You are so right that this is a life-changing surgery!  So glad you posted the updated pics - you've got to be very proud of yourself (and rightly so!).  Keep up the great work!!!  Take care...

Wow, it's amazing how much you've lost in such a short time! How much are you exercising daily? I was off to a rip-roaring start, but have been stalled at my current weight for the last 4 days - didn't think a stall would happen this fast! I've started back on my recumbent bike, but could use some tips on how to speed up the weight loss process - going dog sledding in September and need to be below 250 or pay a 50% premium above the normal cost. BTW, your pics are great - keep up the good work!!

Thanks!  I was exercising daily, then got sick for 6 weeks and am starting over on the exercise now.  I've hit a plateau and have been stuck for two weeks at the same weight, so decided I needed to step up the exercise since I go for my 6-month check in 3-1/2 weeks! I walk 1-1/2 miles Monday-Friday at lunch time at work. I do my Bowflex on Tuesday and Thursday nights and Saturday mornings. I do 3-5 miles on my treadmill on Wednesday and Friday nights, and Sunday morning The weekend stuff is usually - just because it depends on if the NASCAR race is on Saturday night or Sunday.  If it's on Saturday night, I walk on the treadmill during the race; if the race is on Sunday (typically is) then I walk during the race that day.  When I'm watching the race, I generally walk the entire race, taking a bathroom break or a break to get more water periodically, but I get back on and keep walking - gives me something to do while hubbies watching the race.  I watch it too, but listen to music on my headphones since I don't care what the announcers are saying unless there's a wreck.

Bravo!!  I can't wait till I can see a change in my pics.  You look fabulous!!
