I weighed myself this morning hoping that the fill that I just had Friday would have helped me off of my plateau. Not only did it help, but I am down 75 lbs in just 5 months !!! Hooray !!!!! I feel so much healthier and better about myself then I did half a year ago!

CONGRATS!

Did you have to do the liquid diet pre-op? If so, Do you have any suggestions. I begin in 11 days and I am excited and scared all at the same time!

Thank you and again CONGRATS!

Woohoo! Congrats girlie!

Congrats to you too Candle !!!!

I think part of the reason why the weight has come off faster then my dr had predicted is because I had close to 200 lbs to lose and I burned more calories just to do day to day things.From reading other posts I think it might slow down as I become lighter.Also I've cut out almost all carbs, I used to live on breads, Pasta, and rice .

Linds- my DS weighs 25 lbs, my arms and back ache after holding him for about a half hour I couldn't imagine carrying 3 of him around with me all day everyday !!!

Thindolphin- I've been walking a lot which is harder now since it is so cold out. I try to walk 3 x a week for 30-45 mins. I have an arthritic knee( from being obese) so I am not doing anything too intense. I am thinking about renting a dance workout video soon to see how I feel with that.

Tigger Shorty- I was given my surgery date 5 days ahead of time and wasn't required to do a pre-op diet.

Although for my post up liquid phase I really liked tomato Soup

Happy New Year to everyone !

That is fantastic... to achieve so much in so little time. Keep up the good work. I can't wait to lose my next 20 lbs.

Walking has been my main exercise too and I've been slacking BIG time since the weather changed.

I just got a DVD on ebay - Walk Away the Pounds by Leslie Sansone. Everyone swears by it. I'll let you know how I do with it.

The Biggest Loser DVD's are suppose to be really good too.

Keep up the great work!
