Woo hoo !!!

Not at work today. It will be hard to get some exercise in today. Dinner out with friends. I'll have seafood and keep today's total under 1500 calories.

@@jfc193, yes. Staying on the boards is a daily connection to why I'm doing this and I can't imagine doing as well without the support of this community. Keep posting! You are an inspiration!

I like my FitBit One also. It tracks stairs and steps and syncs up with MyFitnessPal and my iPhone. I don't really use it for the calories since I rely on MyFitnessPal for that. But I wear it to bed and track restless sleep too. It's always on my bra or my nightgown. I only have to charge it about once a week.

Yikes. 2145 calories and only four flights of stairs today. Tomorrow will be better.

There's a new hire in our department who started last week. This may be the first person in my daily life who never knew me as morbidly obese. For some reason this really intrigues me. I'm whoever I want to be and I'm not defined by my size.

Great post Lisa.

LainieG I am so sorry.

Breathe. This doesn't change overnight. But it does change. Each day gets better. Keep exercising new emotional muscles. You got this.

Wednesday 1529 calories and 24 flights of stairs. Thursday half day of work due to doctor appointment but I'll get the stairs in.

Woo hoo!

I heard a great line in a motivational podcast today. It had to do with getting trapped in old defeatist thinking and replacing those thoughts with positive thoughts for change. "I had to stop listening to myself and start talking to myself."

Glad they got it fixed. Good luck staying on course. You got this!!!

So many of us have a plate full. Pun intended. I'm buried in divorce discovery crap. My counselor advised me to take Friday off work so I could devote the day to it because I'm so stressed. So I will. Step by step and day by day. Thank God my food is in order and even though I don't exercise, I've been walking stairs at work daily faithfully. Doing taxes, keeping tabs on my daughter gallivanting all over Europe (I'm jealous) and stressing out over too many bills and too little money. Oh well! Just for today I can handle it. What's the alternative? I'm strong and determined and on the right path. It will all work out in God's time and someday this will be a distant memory. And the happy thing is I'm feeling more fit and better looking and that makes me feel good. So there.

Love it love it love it! I take lots of selfies that nobody sees but myselfie.

Congrats!!

Our company bought updated corporate polo shirts. When I was hired I didn't even fit in their largest one, 2xl. Yesterday I ordered a large and it fits!!

Losing weight has reduced my need for pain relief. I only occasionally take arthritis Tylenol now. I went off NSAIDS a week before surgery. My knee pain is much less and my back pain is gone.

Tuesday 1000 calories and 24 flights of stairs.

This post was great to read! You both look wonderful.

Note to self. Get those stairs in at work early in the day. It's not easy doing 24 flights in an hour. But I did. I'm on track with my food and feeling good. Glad to have this thread as a daily reminder. Also I had some decaf coffee on the weekend but back to Water today. I've been trying to drink more water instead of coffee and it seems to be better for me all around.

Wow! Wow! Wow! That is so great to hear. Congratulations !!

Congrats!!!!

Walk a lot and ask a pal to do karate chops on your neck and shoulders a few times a day.

He checked me at four weeks post op and it's been the NP ever since for fills.
