SO I went to my 2 week check up and expressed my concerns of moving too fast. He was not concerned since I was doind what I was told...working thru the stages.

my incisions were good, and I had no issues other than my worrries which he said not to worry about. So I wait 4 more weeks and see what I lose.

I got up this am...and I was at 245!!! It has been 2 yrs at least since I have been under 250. And the thought that late last year I was at 280+ amazes me that it is gone so quickly.

I feel great great great. I have had NO food problems. I chew, chew and chew. I have to sip a little liquid now and then but dont full on gulp it. I actually had filet mignon a 1/4 of a baked potato, and some squash, Obviously not the whole peice of meat. It was great, and NO problem getting it in, and keeping it in. CHEW. I ate with my family like a normal person :tongue_smilie:

Only excersize he said was walk 5 minutes a day---I thought Dude I do that 10 times over in a day!

I worry I will drop 50 and just stop...but I guess negative 50 is better than gaining any. So just gonna go with the flow.

Anyone have an excersize program they like? Curves? or something you do at home??

hi '

i have Comcast cable at home and they have a excersise TV where they have tons of workouts...anywhere from toning, step aerobics to walking. i do the 2 mile walking one with Leslie Samsone..it is a good start.Its only about 35 mins and i can feel it. Someday i will move up to a harder one.

I do plan to join the YMCA in the spring...since i fould out they offer babysitting while i workout ( u have 3 small kids)

I know how you feel... i am bellow 250lb now and i have not been there for over 6 years. I hope to be bellow 200 be the end of year. im loosing very slowly but hey..its gone for ever!!!

Good luck
