Topic: RE: Having a bad day
Seriously?  Did you read what you just wrote?  "its a little over 2 weeks since surgery and I'm down 14lbs"...seriously...when was the last time you lost 14lb in that amount of time?

You're NORMAL!!  You can't compare your weight loss to others...as hard as it is.  Surgery and weight loss rates are as individual as we are and if you focus too much on how much you lost compared to this person and that person the only thing you're going to do is drive yourself insane.  Don't focus on immediately giant losses. 

If it gives you any consolation I lost 30lb my first month (40 if you include my pre op weight loss). 


Don't worry...you're doing fine!

Sorry you had a bad day! I hope things are doing better. Sounds like you are doing great! I only lost about 21 pounds the first month so sounds like your doing good to me! Keep walking and sipping, things will start moving along.

Topic: RE: Exercise....Today's Topic
 I run at least 3 times a week (try for more, just depends on the weather and whats going on),
 I play on our trampoline in the backyard.
 I occasionally do weights
 I work with my horse
 I run after 2 little girls. LOL.
 I swim once in a while

Once the weather is better...
I will work with the horse more.
I will run more (longer days, means I can run when my hubby gets home from work)
I will still be running after 2 little girls
I will probably swim more

I do more hiking in the late spring/summer as well as camping, and hoping to do some rafting/kayaking stuff this summer as well.

I think its a great idea to do it just in this little group... I signed up and have not heard from my pal for over a month after trying to get a hold of her....idk i think it would be a fun thing to do.

I hope your day ended on a high note. My doctor warned me that a stall could occur around weeks 3-4 and not to be concerned. You are doing FABULOUS!!

I started at 324lbs and a size 26.  After losing 100 lbs, I became pregnant with my first daughter, who was born in March 2011.  My second daughter was born in September 2013.  I have maintained a healthy lifestyle and now hover around 160lbs.  I would like to get back to the 140lbs before I became pregnant with my second daughter.  The sleeve literally gave me LIFE - two beautiful, healthy little girls.  My husband had his VSG with Dr. Marema on 10/1/2012 and is on his weight loss journey, currently down 90lbs.

Zumba is a latin dance/aerobics class.  A friend of mine teaches it at the YMCA.  It is becoming really popular.

I love LOVE LOOOOOVE to dance! Im always shaking my booty around the house. Turn the music on and shake it until I sweat! It doesnt seem like much of a work out but it really is! I also get on my treadmill daily for 30 to 60 minutes. We bike during the summer and jogh a bit too.
 As of the last couple weeks tho the pain has been really bad so I havent done anything!
 I would like to get a WII and a wii fit! I have used a friends and really enjoyed it! Played with the kids! Was fun!
