thanks Aj...i really sat in the hspital and thought ...wow im not gonna make my 100 miles.....so im happy too....~hugs~

that was funny..thanks for sharing

ooops my bad...thanks Mini for the motivation !

welcome.....and thats a great start !

Sorry im late.... son was sick and the walking took a back seat...but just added up my fitbit.... I had 26.94 added to my 81 is 107.04 I did it !!!!! Thanks Cawanna for motivating me

As many of you know I have a special needs son....who is in and out of the hospitals . Well he just came home from his latest stay and this was the first time I wasnt the fat mom It made such a differance...so many things I never realized... I was so much more of a advacate this time...I was not afraid to go ask for a nurses help...or any thing that I thought would make him more comfortable or even for myself....When it was time for his meds and they were not there...I didnt feel like Oh gawd...what should I do...I knew what to do and I did it...and to my surprise I think I was treated with more respect...or at least its how I felt on the inside and that all showed on the out side... And any one who has ever slept on a hospital cot over night knows how that feels when your 100 lbs over weight.....and this stay it still wasnt comfy but it wasnt uncomfy with the added OMG blankets dont move and uncover my big O butt while I sleep... After some stays I can remember being so hungry but I wouldnt dare ask for anything from the nurses.....what would they think the fat lady wants more food !!! This time...I asked if I could get some SF jello...or some crackers and peanut butter... and I was proud of that....simple pleasures being with in a normal weight ... I can not thank my Drs and Nut for the new life they gave this lady !!!

I cryed when I read the words ...MORBID OBESITY on a paper I had to take to the lab for blood work befor my banding....

I agree with Ajs post.... for me learning to chew lots and slow down was the key to winning !!!

Wow Missy...you look amazing...that is some hard work...you should be very proud of your healthy life style now

im smiling for you on that NSV !

just shakes my at such juvies.......~hugs~

congrats dfav.... sounds like a success to me !

I have been having the same thoughts here about my band....and its been minus 6 here...maybe....mine dont like the cold..Lord knows I hate it

~hugs~ Cheryl..you look awsome and I know its been hard work.... ok going back to check out the shoes now......

thats one I think about every time i get in the tub...it acually hurts to sit on hard floor of the tub but so happy I fit !!!

wow...is right....JSD....you made me chuckel this morning.....

Awsome...job !!!

Them NSV are the best !!!

I to was a CNA when I had my band surgery.... and I was off work for 3 weeks.... I was also not allowed to lift my son who is 70lbs for 3 weeks....not even with assist... Good Luck...its so worth it
