CherylS got a reaction from aNuMe in Finally Joined A Gym. Now What?
It took me 6 months of walking in the park with 2 bad knees all winter. In March my weight was staying the same so I felt like I needed to do more. I went to LA fitness which is 2 minutes away and signed up. I bought a skirted bathing suit and started Aquafit classes. Believe me there are no bathing beauties in those classes. A lot of older people with their knee & hip replacement scars. It really got the wt loss going again and I'm having a good time.
Just DO IT. You'll feel so much better.

CherylS got a reaction from Mrs.D in Friday Weigh-In!
7/27/11 Preop wt 284
7/27/12 162. 122 lb loss
Went to the beach and forgot my chair(rated for 300lbs). Sat on one of my friend's flimsy beach chairs. It was comfy and I didnt need to worry about it breaking. Last year I would no have fit in it..
Aarval I got stuck in the 180's too. Joined Water aerobics and I started losing again. It's fun and I like going which is a plus.

CherylS got a reaction from Alex Brecher in Who is your doctor? What hospital are/have you used?
I had my gastric bypass at Beth Israel Deaconess in Boston by Dr Schneider. Excellent team. Thorough preop evaluation process. They are on Patientsite which is a secured health care site. You can email the team if you have questions or problems. I developed lactose intolerance after surgery. The nutritionist got back to me with a solution and I felt better within a day. I can't wait til my 1 year appointment in a couple of weeks. 117 lbs gone and still losing.
