Do you live in the Reno / Sparks area and are banded???

I would love to get together to compare notes, cup of coffee, start walking with a partner etc.

Interested?

Gail;

For Chris to be able to walk 5-6 mi. is EXCEPTIONAL. He must have a physical job to be able to keep him in shape like that.

2 miles is about all I want to walk at any time, after that I am pushing myself, that is why the Marina is a perfect walk for me.

I usually just walk around the neighborhood here. They having a walking path down at the park. I have been threatening going there. I will take my pedometer with me and find out how far it is. I say that like I am a real pro with that pedometer. Laugh!! I have never used it yet. I found it in the airport one time! I am guessing only about a mile. It has a pretty steep incline coming back.

I am losing weight again, I think it is the South Beach breakfast and lunches.

However, it might be that I am slightly nauseated every afternoon, about 1130-2pm-3pm so it is dimenishing my appetite.

But maybe I am interrepting this as slightly nauseated but in reality maybe it is just me not being hungry. wierd wierd wierd.

I just have to stay away from eating in the mid day time. It just makes me say yuck at that time of day. hmmmmmmmm

I guess I needed to clarify. I can walk that far, but I don't like to do it :girl_hug:

I have had to walk up to 10 miles in a day when I go hunting. usually it is closer to the 5 or 6 I do do alot of activity at work, along with the sledding, quads and keeping up with an 8yo

Gail, I will see if I can post a couple of picss of my truck loaded up

Chris

here is a couple

ok try this again

this is just a fun pic

Chris

OK, I am going to try to do an jpg. attachment of our quads. Hang on!

Couldn't get it to work. My file sizes are all over 100mb. They are anywhere from 112mbs to 125 mbs. Is there a way I can reduce them? I am not that familiar with reducing the files.

Gail, I do mine through paint. You open the pic in paint and then use the image tabthen size if I remember right and slide the size down to about 75% and see how that fits. If you can't get it send the pics to me and I can shrink them down for you.

Chris

neat pics gail, dd you want me to post them up for ya?? Thos quads are awsome

Chris

Hi Chris,

No they don't have to be posted. I just mainly wanted to show them to you. Since we have them in common.

Have a good one!

Dear no your not chopped liver!

Oh ok if you want to see them! I will email them to you! I'll even send an extra one for you so you can see what Cliff and I look like!

Hey everyobody! How are you all doing? It sounds like you are all keeping busy. Thats great! How are you all doing eatting and exercising? I am making it to the Sanctuary about three times a week and Gold's about once or twice a week. I do my strength trainging at the Sanctuary with Power Plates and Pilates and I am doing cardio at Golds. I do need to get to golds more often though.

I had my first fill yesterday. It was a pretty small fill just 1cc. But Dr. Ganser put in the smallest band so I guess I already had some restriction. The worst part of the fill was my nerves. The numb the area with some lidocaine first and then they put the needle in and give you the fill.

They do have you look at a chart or graph to see where you fall in the needing or not needing a fill category.

I have to be on fluids again for the first 48 to 72 hours after the fill and then on soft and mushy food again for a week. I am filling more restriction even with just drinking smoothies and things. I have to drink alot slower and take smaller sips.

Well let me know when you all go for a walk again and I will make every effort to try to make it.

Hey are you guys going to the fashion show on the 21st? Dale and I will be there, I am so excited to see other peoples results and success.

We were out off roading and forgot to go to the last support group metting, but as long as I so not have to work on this months meeting we will be there.

Well now that I have chatted your ear off I will let you all go and I will talk to you later.

I will try to be better about getting on here and chatting with you all.

Which support group meetings do you guys go to, if you go at all?

The one at St. Mary's is closest to me (I live in North Reno).. I've been to it once so far.
