I haven't cheated, but I couldn't stop thinking about it earlier! Mina, if I'm reading your signature right, you lost 100lbs from about a year ago until your surgery date? That's amazing. I wish I had the mindset to do that. I've lost literally hundreds of pounds in the past 5+ years, only to gain it back and then some. I'm great at losing weight and suck at keeping it off. The last time I did that, I decided I wasn't doing anything until the doctor told me to because I just keep regaining and getting bigger. So now I'm on the pre op, which does suck big time. And it does seem much harder for me to force myself to do the cardio this time. I've only done it 3 times this week, when I know I should have done it every day. The strength training has been easy for me. For whatever reason, I never mind having to do that. I really pray the rest of this goes by quickly.
