  1. 27 til my 1st goal weight!!!

  2. Hernia repair II done and home resting.

  3. Bummed that my hiatal hernia is back 

      Sorry to hear that, I understand how miserable that can be. I hope they can find a way to make you more comfortable for now. How was it repaired before? I'm pre-surgery and have a hiatal hernia that will need to be repaired at the same time. The thoracic surgeon I spoke with is against using mesh when repairing and would prefer to stitch it.

  4. I can wrap a standard towel around myself!!!

  5. Survived Thanksgiving without damage! Hooray!

  6. Peeved that my Rheumatologist told me to cut back on workouts, no weight baring exercises, and no yoga! WTF am I supposed to do?!?!

      I was thinking swimming or water aerobics.. both less likely to irritate immune system

      Swimming is a great idea. I need to look into where public pools are in my area. The Y usually has them, right?

      JillC878.....Hang in there! You can only do this 1 day at a time. We can do ANYTHING for one day. Where are you on your journey?

      Jill you are doing such a great job at losing weight.

       

      What seems to be bothering you at this stage?

       

      Keep on going.

  13. It is amazing how much easier a shower is with 60 less pounds of you!

      JillC878

      StephanieRR - Visit went great. They say I am right on track. They also gave me a little perspective, one of them said to me "Have you ever lost 50lbs in 3 months before?" Well, obviously not! Made me much happier :)

  15. Cant believe I can go a whole hour on a stationary bike! I used to be scared of 15 minutes! Not saying it is easy, but I can do it!

  16. Anyone else fear thaty are not loosing enough? I do.

    1. kltklass

      kltklass

      I think everyone has that fear. Remember, everyone is different, try not to compare yourself with anyone else. As long as you are losing you're going in the right direction. Keep going..you got this!

  17. The ladies will understand this small victory…..I put my bra on the middle hooks instead of the last today!!!!!!!

      Congrats! An Awesome Feeling!

    3. Miss Mac

      Miss Mac

      Yes! Awesome feeling. Next thing you know, you will have to buy a smaller bra. I am halfway to my goal, so as a non-food reward, I did something I had never done before. Since I had always bought the cheapest bras at Walmart, I went to a foundation shop and had a proper bra fitting - was able to treat my sister and niece also. I only bought one since they are expensive and my body composition is constantly shifting. It was a great girl's day out since I had not seen them for a while. We also did lunch. You have my permission to reward yourself in some way as you reach these victories one by one. Rock on!

      I noticed I've moved to those middle hooks too. Aint life grand????

       

  18. So maybe 30 minutes of The Biggest Loser Power Walking (and sprinting) DVD was a bit too much for me! I will pay for this......

      Jill so happy for you!!!!!Just over a month ago i was 301. Heaviest I have ever been. 250 seemed like something so very far away. I am currently at 268.8 and I can not believe it. 250 seems within reach.
