Living in Wilmington, DE area and was wondering about locals in DE, NJ and PA

Lets meet at 896/40 at 8:45 am to walk. Hope to see you there.

Howdy!

I'll be there Sunday morning.

I can't walk Wednesday, I have a prior commitment. I can walk on Monday or Friday. (I know Friday is probably a bad day, but it's worth a shot)

I am up for walking on Monday and Friday. And if anyone else wants to walk Wednesday I am game for that too.

I drove around behind College Square, the area you said had the walking path, but saw nothing. How is it marked.

6pm is the best time for me, no matter what night, if anyone else can make that time.

Just let me know where for Monday night.

I got back from Lancaster late. It was raining there so I stayed a bit longer. Hope your walk this morning was envigorating!

I tried do hard this weekend to stay within the eating guidelines, and think i did fairly well. I don't know how we are supposed to keep our carbs around 30g, i find that near to impossible. Is anyone else having trouble with that?

Lynn :thumbup:

Lynn,

I have been watching calories and not carbs. I have been doing a lot better since then.

Hi!

6 p.m. on Monday and Friday work for me. The path in Newark is behind the Pep Boys. There is a Road, I believe it is Willa Rd. There is a park called Delaware Technology park. If you look right next to the bridge (where Library Road is) you will see the path. It actually starts on the top of the hill where Willa Rd and Library Ave. intersect. I can show you some time if you like.

I don't remember any carb guidelines. Of course, now I have gone through 2 programs. I start the mushies on Tuesday. Right now I have only protein and fluid intake guidelines. I keep meaning to email the dietician about whether I need to count carbs or calories as well.... I guess it gets more complicated when you move from the liquids.

I will have to say that I did Atkins and lost 100 pounds. It was tough at times to keep my carbs at 20 or below. I think I would have to cut out all the milk products. They have a lot more carbs then I could handle if I limited myself to 30 carbs a day. I know I ate a lot of meat and cheese. I ate low carb veggies like cauliflower, broccoli and brussel sprouts.

The walk today was good. I think the first day is always the toughest. I look forward to increasing our speed and endurance!

I guess we can meet at 40/896 tomorrow at 6.

I see the dietition on April 29, but may call this week to see about the carbs. I am at about 800-900 calories a day, depending on what I eat. And I do agree, the carbs are high in cottage cheese and milk, and bananas...guess I'll cut back a bit on them..

I'll see HopeInApril and anyone else tomorrow night at 6pm, 896/40.

I am mixing mushies and soft solid for the next week-10 days. I am supposed to have "real", regular diet a few days before my next appt. with Dr. Wynn, 5/9. There are times I think there is restriction, but beginning to think it is from eating too fast...My main problem with food, as well as portion size..I know that is what helped me get to this point.

I am interested in how my weight loss is doing.. I'll step on the scale at work Tuesday morning

Delaware, thanks for posting the next 2 meetings. I have been looking for my paperwork with the dates...

Greetings!

Thanks Delaware for posting the meetings information.

I'll be there tonight to walk. Hopefully, the rain stays away!

Can anyone still walk on Wednesday? I hope so :rolleyes2:

I just got home from work. I dont think that I will beable to catch up with you guys on the walk. Plus its getting dark...rain is coming.

Hey gang, My name is Kim and I had surgery on 6/2/06. I have had some struggles along the way but I have managed a 75 pound loss. I would love to join the group for some walks. One of my biggest issues is exercise....quite frankly....I HATE IT...LOL But my goal is to be better about this day to day. Look forward to meeting some of you in the futures.

Kim:shades_smile:

I am planning on walking Wednesday evening, around 6pm at 896/40 path in Glasgow. Anyone else gonna come along..??

Just let any of us know.

Kim, come join the group.

HopeInApril and I walked last evening...were able to complete it in about 50 minutes, and before any rain. A few times while walking i felt a few sprinkles, but no real rain.

Next week I am hoping to get to the gym here at work a few times a week and work on my arms. The facility is free for us and I want to make use of the services

Well, better get back to work

Catch up with you all later

Lynn

Howdy!

The walk last night was good. There were a few sprinkles, but that wasn't bad. I can't go tomorrow night, but will walk Friday if anyone else wants to go.

Welcome Kim! Nice to have someone who is further along on the lapband path.

Life is moving along ladies. Now that I am eating mushies, I feel like I have some restriction. Very cool.

Hi!

Anyone interested in walking on Friday? How about Sunday morning?

Let me know!

Count me in for walking Friday night and most likely Sunday AM.

6pm Friday, ok, if not let me know, I can possibly get there by 5:30pm this Friday, just let me know

I just got home from my administrative assistant dinner with the bosses. We went to Carraba's up in chadds Ford. I was good, some baked scallops and shrimp and a few fried calamari. I passed on dessert and had decaf coffee. It was so good and I ate it over a 45 minute period so it was not an issue with any pbing or feeling too full.

Talk wit you all later.

Look forward to another fun walking evening.
