Helllloooooooo Mel! sorry about the inactivity, the past two weeks have been a blur. im changing departments and going over to our camera security group in an IT support tech roll. i have been training my replacement in special projects.

Health and weight are on track in fact i skipped over a size and now wear the same size i was in my early 20's ......Jeans...im wearing and fitting nicely into jeans for god sakes....its amazing!!!!

Picked up a fit bit flex and currently obsessing on that. i highly recommend it. amazing little device they should give one out with every RNY.

Congrats on the bathing suit thing :-) when do we get to see the pics...hubba hubba. ;-)

Hope your doing well have a great evening you skinny thing. catch ya later.

RJ

RJ- Glad to hear you are still with us and doing GREAT. I missed you! I got a Fit Bit for my birthday a bit over a month ago. Could not agree with you more! I am also obsessing. I am realizing I am not as active as I thought I was. I have increased the activity and the scale has been moving! Wonderful gadget!

Carol,

Im glad to hear you had the same epiphany i did on the amount of daily exercise i was or was not getting . This thing (Fit Bit ) is like crack! i'm just trying to make all of those bloody lights activate. How have you been doing.?

We had some great weather and was actually able to get outside and get some real exercise without dressing like i was getting ready for extended deep sea diving .

Have a great night

RJ

Ok I have been looking at these for a while. The bad reviews throw me off. It makes me feel better seeing real ppl use them. I may have to jump in. I've been working out 90 minutes almost every day and it is making a huge difference. My stomach skin is horrible but the rest of me starting to look pretty darn good for a woman over 40. I went to the gym this afternoon and did my full weights then came home and walked three miles on the beach. It is great living in florida this time of year.

I'm pushing really hard because I am going to Italy in may and I want new ckothes and not to be the fat american. :)

I downloaded the C25K app and ran today. I was awful !!! My body didn't know how to move my nose ran... Out of breath... So I figured I can only get better. I signed up for a 5K may 10th! I'm going to own this!!! I think I can.. I think I can...

Unless I get two workouts in, I find that I don't make the 10000 steps. I usually get the active minutes, calories and stairs (I live in a split level home!). We finally were above 40 today - first time in over 100 days. Went for a three mile walk. Am only at 8600 steps tonight. :( Yesterday we spent the day at the auto show. Went to the YMCA after. Even after walking around all day, if I hadn't put in 35 minutes on the elliptical, I would not have made all the goals. Just proves how active you need to be to be a healthy active adult!

I've been looking at the fitbit but haven't taken the plunge yet. I'm not very very tech-savy (I don't even have a smart phone!). How difficult would it be for someone like me to use? Also there are a couple different fitbit options - which is the easiest to use?

I'm visiting my son in sunny Southern California in late April/early May. He says it'll be pretty hot by then so I'll want to wear sundresses and shorts on my trip. Maybe even a bathing suit! He's at Camp Pendleton so I'll be staying in San Clemente. I'm at a comfortable place in my weight loss - only 8/lbs away from my married weight of 115lbs. :-) My legs definitely need toning if I'm going to bare them! Over the harsh winter I haven't walked much but now that the worst is over I'm starting again. I'm hoping that something like the fitbit will challenge me to reach a real daily goal of steps per day, similar to the way logging my food helps me actually reach Protein goals. I learned that estimating is never even close to accurate. :-)

Terry, I am not tech savvy either. I do not have a smart phone. I use a Kindle for most everything. I have the Fit Bit Force, which is the one that was recalled. I have to manually sink it with my desktop computer, which I do several times a day, it only takes a few seconds. It you have or use Apple products, it will sink automatically which would be easier. The information that I get is more than worth the effort. Just like MyFitnessPal is going to be key to long term success, I believe this will as well. Setting it up took a bit of time and patience, but it was worth it. By the way, MyFitnessPal and the Fit Bit talk to each other. It's great!

Hello my Friends;

I guess I feel like babbling after a good church service yesterday . I have not hit my goal yet and 19 lbs is within reach but still so far away. So when I hit my goal ..now what??.. Is this race over? Do I say ok, its pizza time. Where is my prize? ... For me this journey will never end. My prize is that Im C-pap free; I take way less meds and my mirror loves me and so does cameras , The best thing now is that I can buy clothes off the rack. Thats my prize. Along with warm smiles. I will always battle mind hunger on eating the right things, so just remember when you hit your goal; your journey begins. May you gain love and the only thing you lose in life are pounds ..lets keep our life long journey together with these post. You give me strength knowing that Im not the only one. ...peace

      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!!
