Oh yeah! A ride is mandatory!

Day 1 & 2 in hospital, day 3 & 4 pretty much in bed and by day 5 you'll be fine. I'm on day 4. Don't want to do anything or go anywhere but I could if I had to. Protein Shakes, Vitamins and lots of water!

Can anyone recommend YouTube videos for entry-level strength training. After meeting with the fitness expert for my evaluations, I bought 10-pound and 20-pound dumbbells. I just have no idea what to do with them. And there's so much information on YouTube -- it's hard to figure out what's good and what's not.

Oh yes, someone mentioned walking in heels. There is a pole dancer here in town who teaches women to walk in heels. I want to walk in heels too.

food isn't your best friend. It wasn't mine either.
I love your list. You know that last one? "Love myself"? That's one you can start on right now. I remember looking in the mirror & hating my reflection. And that energy did nothing but make me feel worse. Don't beat yourself up. Please understand that food isn't your best friend - you are.

I am 61 and have not had the surgery yet but I am planning on having my entire body re-done by a plastic surgeon. By that, I mean from the neck down. I am hoping to avoid a facelift because I have seen so many come out of those with lioness like features. I have seen people with severe weight loss before so I knew from the moment I made the decision that two years down the road I would be under the knife again for my changed body.

Wow, your weight loss is really brining out your handsome face! You look much younger.
I have the dreaded post-weight loss induced turkey neck skin. But I use Vitamin E cream, and stay hydrated and find the turkey neck skin is way less prominent when I drink lots of Water.

The weight loss and Beauty in a Box ( Just For Men Beard Die) have helped me to go back in time by a couple of years and it feels Great.

It's your body and your decision. I woke up happy from surgery. Relief it was over and that I didn't die! You have to be ok with it! If you're not (and I know how bad you've been struggling) then you made the right decision for yourself.

Here's an obscure skinny bucket list item. I know its weird but all the years I was obese I daydreamed of going into my favorite coffee shops in the winter/holiday season wearing cute fuzzy sweaters and boots. Just the soothing image of looking and feeling cute and cozy, ordering a warm cup of coffee has always been a dream. So this winter, that's going to happen!!

My skinny bucket list is
To run with Charlie in the buggy to a downtown local coffee bar. Be more independent. More comfortable. Swim laps. Increase my employability. Increase my endurance. Increased grace. Do an entire TRX session completely horizontal in stirrups. Couture suit. Body Lift - whatever it is and where ever it is I want it, clipped, nicked, sucked, tucked, yanked, stretched, and cut. Cross-country skiing trip. Cruise from Seattle to Alaska. Firm arm muscles. DANCE!

Oh yes, and be able to use my sewing patterns again.
