WOW Stef you look great!!! I can really tell that you have lost alot of weight. Keep it up. I need to get a picture taken of me soon so I can try to post them. I have never heard anything from the man I sent the email to about the wrist band. I hope he got my email and will send me one soon. I am going to bed early tonight because I didn't take a nap and I am trying to get some sleep for once at night. Talk to ya'll tomorrow.

Thanks! They say my eyes are called "Norwegian Blue Eyes" because I have a dark ring around the lighter blue. And braces and a permanent retainer behind my front teeth give me a good smile. I've been so unsure about posting pictures, but I feel I know you all well enough to get over the anxiety about it.

Arcael - Sorry to hear your wrist band broke :cry But I'm proud of you that you went to the gym!!

Well, it was too cold to get into my pool today, so I had my hubby move my stationery recumbant bike out to the living room, so I could ride and watch t.v. (helps the time go by faster). I road for 30 minutes and went over 7 miles...lol. I used a program of varying levels. Felt pretty good!! Other than swimming, this is the first exercise I've done. I am looking into a Tai Chi class and having the intstructor also do some personal training with me just to get me in a routine. I'll let you know when that starts. For now, I'll do my bike and maybe some walking when it is cool here in TX.

Stephanie: You look fabulous and those pants aren't going to last much longer without falling off of you!!!

BGP and Stesti: I'll let you know when I'll be coming to town. I may be passing through around Christmas, but probably wouldn't have much time for anything...except maybe meeting for a dinner or drinks or coming to your store for the makeup session!! We usually stop in St. Louis and stay in a hotel...many times at the Drury Inn in Fenton (the newer one). I try and get the best deal with a Breakfast as there will be 6 of us. I'll keep you updated.

Stetsi, way to go on the workout! And Mary, I have a recumbant bike, too...it's great for exercising during the cold weather! I have it in my former office with a tv, too, to make the time go by faster. My knees can't handle much walking, as in outside, so I opt for the bike. As long as we're moving, that's all that matters, right?

Yes, my pants are a tad baggy - I have new "real" pants in a drawer. I tried them on yesterday again. They fit and I can get them on, but I don't like how they feel when I sit in them yet. I'll try again in a week or so.

I'm off to work - have a great day everyone!

Thanks for asking about me :) , well my strep infection has spread into the soft tissues in my neck/face so now my jaw is stuck/locked. I can only open my mouth about a 1/2 inch. Ugh Im going back to the doctor again today. I don't know if I'll be on steroids or what. Definitely more antibiotics. I'll keep you updated.

Ohh lala, you better watch out lol your husband is going to be chasing you around!! And I agree with what everyone else has said too, you are sooo pretty, pretty eyes, smile, the works.

OMG Stephanie,

Wow you can really see the weight loss in your pics, you look so gooooood. I can't believe the difference, and you can really see it in your face. I haven't took any pics yet, maybe I need too, maybe if I looked as good as you I would really feel like I've done something. I have lost 40 but I can't tell it one bit. Oh well, maybe in another 40. You sure look good.

Hey I went to the Y today with my mom and I didn't like either one of the bikes they had there. I really want to try a recumbent bike. You that said you had one do you like it. I heard that they hurt your back. I don't have any back problems but my hubby does. I would like to get one but I don't know what kind to get. My hubby is an ebayer so we would probably look there first. Where do you guys get yours?

Kari- Girl hang in there. Prayers are going up for you today.

Beth: I really like the recumbent bike. I haven't heard anything about them bothering one's back. I think most regular stationary bikes end up being clothes hangers. Many of them have small seats that hurt the behind, so people don't last much on them. At least that was my experience in the past and several others that I know. I invested in a very good recumbent one, as I've had a couple of knee surgeries and my doc recommended the bike over walking. This is probably due to me carrying so much weight on my body and that being hard on the knees (walking). The brand name on my bike is Diamondback and it's a very good one. It wasn't cheap, but if you can find one on ebay, I'd recommend it.

Thanks Mary. Hey I posted a reply on the yahoo group page but now I can't find it to see if anyone posted anything to me. I also tried to start a new post asking for people in FOrt Worth but I don't know how to find out if anyone answered it. I guess it is still too new for my. Well I am off to ebay to look at bikes. See ya.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
