Never to soon to start! I had mine on the 11th!?? Anyone else in June yet? And how's it going?

Is it bad that I am so glad Christmas is over? I am ready to get back to a normal schedule. I am off work next week and plan to get back into the gym and focus on me. Not because it is a New Years resolution but because I want to and it makes me feel good. I really have come to the conclusion that I don't like the bad food anymore that I used to love. It doesn't make me feel good. It is kind of a good thing if you ask me.

I am so glad it's over, I love this time of the year, but if I see another cookie, cake or candy. I'm going to scream. I did very good, I did not eat sweets but the sight of them made me sick.

I am so glad it is over! Not only is there a ton of food but I become a stress anxiety monster trying to make everyone happy and everything perfect! My finances work Christmas party was supposed to be today but it was cancelled because so many people backed out, I was so excited because I didn't have to go to another pot luck lol. So he brings home a frickin pie and ice cream! I was so excited for things to go back to "normal" lol. Oh well I didn't eat any pie or ice cream but it stared at me for a good minute.

I have had and been told by my Doc Surg that aches and pains will be common until my weight stabilizes after a year because my frame will have to adjust /compensate for the new weight distribution.

Well, my goal for this first holiday season has been to maintain my weight. as of this morning I am down 1 lb I'm pretty happy with that. I have eaten anything and everything I've wanted, learned that a few things no longer taste good and I don't feel deprived. I'm almost 90lbs down from last January and that makes me feel fantastic.

I will be going to the doctor next week to see if i can get a referral to physical therapy though. I don't know if it's the weight loss or residual effects from back surgery 10 years ago. My back has been bothering me again (change in center of gravity?) and since I've become more active I've noticed that my left side (especially my leg) is noticeably weaker than my right. (this is the side that was most affected by my back before surgery)

Anyone else experiencing anything similar?

I can say that i blew out my PCL (Posterior Cruciate Ligament ) several years ago and it was a constant bother and my hip would be constantly sore since i was compensating . but once i hit the 100 to 125 lbs mark they are 100% improved.

Hope it improves!! PT is an excellent proactive approach to managing your well being

Congrats on getting through the Holidays with out folding .

Well, yesterday was my 6 month mark since surgery, so I figured I should post some new pictures. I hope everyone is as happy with their new bodies as I am (even though certainly not perfect)!

You look really nice, keep up the good work.

Hello fellow Junies, I have an update, I am 4 lbs. away from my doc goal of 140 and 9 lbs. away from my personal goal. I've gone from a size 20 to a size 6, I feel great, I look wonderful, I'm not bragging, I'm just super excited. The only issue I'm still battling is my blood pressure, I was hoping I can stop taking meds for this, but it seem as though I can't shake it, my mom has heart problems, so I guess I inherit this condition, but I'm not claiming it, I just have to give it some time, I believe and trust God will deliver me from this, well I hope everyone is on track to where they want to be. Peace!!

P.s. My husband loves the new me, because of my attitude and physical change, it changed his as well. We are loving the new us.
