:P So I am ecstatic.....I am a new member to this site and just yesterday found out that my surgery has been approved so we are moving forward with my surgery date of 10/25. I have been overweight my entire life. I have lost and gained so many times I lost count. I had recently (within the past year) come up with some health issues that can be eradicated by losing a large amount of weight. I would lose 30-40 lbs, feel great and then life punches me and I end up gaining it back.

 

I have never felt more determined or motivated regarding my weight before this time in my life. I want to see my daughter marry, see my granchildren, my son off to college. And spend a long life with my amazing husband.

 

I want to be able to get up in the morning and go running without feeling like I am going to pass out. I want to bike ride with my son.

 

So happy to be getting a second chance at living healthier.

I am so happy you're here and your date is coming up so quickly! I was sleeved 9/14 and already feel like it's the best decision I could have made for me (down 30 lbs.). I feel like I can look forward to being an active grandma now (in 10-20 years lol, my oldest is only 15) instead of watching from the sidelines like my mom with her bad knees, ruined feet, and terrible arthritis.

    • I’ve used my Xbox for exercise games too and it can be pretty motivating, especially on days when I don’t want to leave the house. Kinect games really do make you move, and after a session with kickboxing or dancing, I always feel like I’ve actually gotten a solid workout. The controller-free setup feels way more natural for workouts than anything I tried on the Wii. Zumba is fun but definitely takes a little time to get the moves right. Lately, when I’m not working out, I spend time trading CS2 skins and finding new guides on this link. There’s a lot of interesting tips if you’re into games outside of fitness too.
