8 weeks until Memorial Day

Hi Botts

I hope you are doing well. I am down 1 more pound this morning 211 lbs. I found a post from Thanksgiving and I was 209 lbs. Pick myself up, dust myself off and start over again.

This morning I walked up and down the aisles at Walmart and picked up a few groceries. Then I went to the gym and swam. Then I relaxed in the steam room and showered. Sometimes I think I get more out of the steam room than the swim. My gym is 5 minutes from my house. Why don't I do this daily?

Memorial Day is 8 weeks away. Could I be under 200 lbs. for the first time in many years by this summer? I would feel so much better about myself.

I read many old posts last night. Many of us have replaced habits in the past to become healthier. I hope they are continuing or can restart. Please join me for the next 8 weeks.

Sincerely, Tri harder

Hi Tri,

I'm having the apollo overstitch done next week so I will be on liquids for almost 2 weeks starting Friday. Then it progresses to one week purees one week soft foods and then reg foods. So its four shakes a day for 5 days, then after my procedure its a week of liquids. But once I get on the purees will start posting my food on here. But I will be cheering you on until then. Great job on the exercise, I need to start, when a little weight comes off it will be easier to walk more. You're absolutely right about making new habits, I let the old ones back in and gained about 30 lbs back. These surgeries are tools and do the work for you the first year or so but I know first hand I will gain it back if I don't changs my eating habits. I don't think its possible to lose 60 lbs by Memorial Day (to be under 200 lbs, need to lose 100 more total) but I'm going to do the best I can. I know we can do this Tri!
Have a great day,
Edie
