Thank you so much for your kind words and a huge congratulations on your weight loss!! I'm betting you're lovin' the new you!!

Thank you DLCoggin, yes, I am loving the changes and the lighter me, but I still have ways to go!

About the walking, wow, another great post, never realized that walking shorter distances multiple times a day can be as effective as doing a long walk once a day.

I ditched my car when I had my surgery and I decided to walk everywhere. I do not take the bus, I just walk (mind that I live in a fairly small town that is pretty safe). So my workplace is on the top of a hill and I am huffin'and puffin' every morning by the time I climb up to work but it is a great workout, also my work keeps me on my feet all day long and I walk a lot. You would think it makes my feet ache but nooooo, my arthritis pain is gone for good and I feel fantastic even after a 12 hour shift. I walk to the stores, I carry the groceries, I try to turn everydays chores into a small workout - just like you by walking around the block while waiting for your prescription.

Yes, I say it again, the choice in in our hands, we have this amazing tool and I am so glad for it.

Your words of inspiration help me to realize just how important working out is. Do you ever get dizzy when exercising?

Thank you so much for your post. I am 2.5 months out from RNY and down 70#. I am feeling great. However, I've been wondering if my appetite will change years out and that the old pre-RNY hunger will come back. I'm so glad to read your story that it doesn't.
