Amina

Hey, and thanks! I pretty much lost most of the pounds in the first 9 months. I haven't lost a thing in six months, but I am definitely firmer and certain parts trimmer because of working out. I don't know that I'm addicted to the exercise as much as I've just made a part of my everyday life. My primary motivation for having the surgery was to be able to return to the activities that make me happy--things like playing tennis, hiking, skiing. I will say that the running is almost more of a mental thing than a physical one in the sense that it gives me a tremendous mental boost. Pilates has done wonders. I have a great instructor who pushes me way beyond what I think I can do. I also am just much less sedentary. I moved from a house to a condo that is centrally located in my town so I can and do walk to everything. I even bought a cheap little grocery bag wheelie thing from IKEA and walk to the grocery. I think adding a few miles of walking each day also makes a huge difference. Thanks for the nice post
