LoseIt!

Oh my goodness!! I'm feeling better about myself, but not enough to show my booty around. Ha! I've been trying to go to discount places to shop, so that helps.

You asked me about Jazzercise... I LOVE IT! It combines cardio with strength training and flexibility so you get everything in one class. Sometimes it depends on the instructor, of course, but it is the only thing I have stuck with as an adult. The most important thing is to move, right? So you just have to find the activity that most makes you want to keep moving! Jazzercise is that for me. Good luck with whatever you choose!!

I'm actually having my surgery on 1/27. The pounds I have lost so far are from my pre-op diet. My name is Beth. It is great to have so many folks in this together! When is your surgery?

Jax is the name I gave to my Body Bugg. It is a device that tracks actual calories consumed. As I input my calorie consumption the online program that comes with it help me track my calorie surplus/deficit. It is very interesting, but I haven't had it long enough to know if it actually helps. I will continue to update my blogs!

Thanks! I have every faith that I will be telling you the same thing next year! Keep at it, sister!

That is SUPER GREAT news!! I love it!

::throwing motivation:: I think if you are out here, you are in a way soliciting advice, so giving/getting it make sense. My blog today was targeted to the "real world". Ha!!

Glad to hear it! I'm moving forward slowly but surely. At least in the right direction. I have my 2nd fill on the 22nd, so I'm sure that will help! Keep it up!!

I aggravate myself regularly. Ha! I don't know what I would do without this site and all of the valuable information and support I get. It is truly a blessing for me. Now, go do 10 pushups for crying out loud!!! Just kidding.

Aw, thanks! I do feel great. Each day is hard, but it is also easier, you know? It is so good to have each other to go through it together.

Hugs to you too! Thank you for the support today. Today's post was a tough one! Sometimes I forget how much I let the judgements of my childhood control me still. I will get there though!!

You and me both! Keep up the awesomeness!!

I had a crazy weekend so I wasn't on the site at all. I am doing okay on the preop...had a bit of a smoothie meltdown this weekend, but I'm okay now. Once I finish out today, I only have to do tomorrow.

I am getting my surgery done in there Hurst surgery center on Wednesday. I live quite close to it so I will get to go home right after.

Let me know where you are staying and maybe we can meet up for "dinner" or coffee nearby when you are here.

August 10th will be here before you know it. Good luck!!

Your picture comment made my day! Thanks so much!!

Good luck and keep me posted!

Hi girl! I was thinking about you today. Hope all is well!!

Things going well? I just passed the 35 pound mark, so YAY! I had my 3rd fill yesterday, so no energy to work out while I'm on liquids. Boo. Hope you are having a wonderful Spring!

Helen, GA was adorable! I'm not sure where we ate, but we sat outside by a little riverside near the little bridge right downtown. I would have like to spend more time there, but maybe I will go back someday.

Day 8 seems like yesterday! The time will pass for you in no time. Good luck!!

I am definitely adjusting. So far so good!

Good luck with your surgery!! If you want to get together Thursday night, let me know. Either way, I will be sending you good mojo.

Wow...thank you! I would love to talk to you about LB. I will send you a private message with my email address.

I actually had to get out of my chair and walk around the office to keep from crying after reading your response to my blog post. You are so sweet! It is so helpful for me to get all of these feelings out. It is like exorcising (or should I say exercising? Ha!) all my demons.

I completely understand! I post about once or twice a week, but I don't do much else. I hope everything is going well for you!!

Thanks so much! The encouragement and support from this site certainly helps!
