Today's Accomplishments

Thanks, DeeDee. I had a difficutl time, at first, admitting that I had gained so much but when I fianlly did, I decided that if it had happened to me, others were probably suffering too. And I firmly believe that we need suppor more at two, three or four years out than during the honeymoon period. It wasn't hard for me to stay with the program when the weight was literally melting off - I was on a natural high for 13 months. My surgeon recommends that we do exercise, other than walking. He's a big advocate of water aerobics and then regular aerobics as well as weight training. I have considered trying to find the funds to join Curves but figure it would be a waste to do it now since I hope to have my knee surgery in the fall - I would have to not go for at least two or three months and I would still be paying the monthly fee. So I have put that on hold til after I recover from the surgery. I have gotten out my two pound dumbbells and am doing some upper arm exercise. What I really need to do is exercise cleaning my house - but somehow, walking 5 miles in absolute torture is more fun that mopping the kitchen floor. Have a great time working in your yard. Patty
