congrats on the loss:thumbup:, That's what I'm using. The Wii fit plus and I switch off with the biggest loser. I also just got the weights, are you talking about the balance board or is there a different step out? I'm new to Wii so I don't really know what all they have yet.

I think it is a extension to the board. I don't know much about the wii except for the few games I have played with the grandkids. My mother couldn't talk to me the other day because she is on a wii bowling team at the retirement home....that is so funny.

I did not exercise today or walk. The weather is horrible.....it's coming girls!

That's really funny, But how great for them at thier age to be up and moving instead of just sitting around playing bingo or knitting. Well, the weather is great here today, sunny and 50 degrees so I'm gonna break that bike out I bought and haven't riden(excuse-the weather) I'm hoping I don't fall off. I haven't been on a bike in 35 years, But they say you never forget so we'll see. I've got a pretty nice place to ride because I live in the country, Just have to watch out for Deer crossing and a couple renegade cows that get out every now and again.

I'm gonna do my first weigh in for our challange Tuesday because that will be 1 week since my fill. I also think I'm gonna drop my original goal weight by 10lbs because I'm pretty close to it now and I still look heavier then I thought I would. Anyhow I put the original one where my BMI would be at the high normal for my height. So I think 10 less would be good, That would put me at mid normal.

You go girl! The weather here is bad till tomorrow. I have to go to the grandson's basketball game. I am cooking up some low cal chicken meals today. Hope the chicken enchilada turns out. I am baking the chicken in a lime cilantro Salad Dressing. Then I am going to chop the meat up with cheese and ff cream of celery Soup and of course Rotel . Layer it with corn tortillas and cheese. I think it will tastes yum. Then I am going to make a low cal chicken pot pie. That is challenging.....the low cal part.

Have a great day!

Found out riding a bike is a whole lot harder then I remember. And my street has a lot of hills I never noticed were there even when walking. Felt my age today, but I didn't fall so it's a start. Not quite as peaceful and relaxing as I thought it was going to be. Just kept thinking I was going to die before I got home.

Ummm, That sounds really good. I'm still going kinda light since the fill. I'll try something a little heavier next week. But chicken enchiladas are making me drool:drool: Let me know how they turn out.

Happy Birthday Melissa(one day) ! I hope you had a good one!

How's the wl going? Me, not good this weekend. DH brought sweets home yesterday and we were like two alcoholics. We ate them till they were gone. Then I went to see It's Complicated today, and yes, ate some Whoppers. What is wrong with me? By the way, the movie is really funny.

Sounds like you had an awesome b-day. I called to get an appt with my wl dr today, but the receptionist took my number and said she would call back......no call back. So, if she puts me off tomorrow I am asking to speak to the dr. I need a check up and so does my DH. Hopefully, we will get in next month.

Trying to keep my intake to 1200 is tough. I did increase my Water and I lost another lb. I also walked today. I have the wii fit....need to get on it. I sound like a broken record. Okay, later butterflies!

I did my weigh in this morning and I'm happy to say I'm down 3lbs but I'm not doing the happy dance yet because I want to make sure it stays off. I guess we're just gonna have to take the rest of the journey pound by pound.

      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!!
