lakeside

Hey Lakeside! I started with walking on a treadmill and recumbant bike. I lost 12 lbs. the week prior to my surgery and then 9 the week after surgery. I didn't get my first fill until 6 weeks after and I've steadily been losing about a lb. a week. Now, I ride my bike (I found a great one with a big seat!!!) about 6-9 miles a day andI take kickboxing classes! This is not at all typical for me and I can't even begin to tell you how great it feels! The guys in the gym that prevented me from working out all my life (because I was so self conscious and thought they would snicker at me) are now my workout buddies and partners! I still have a long ways to go, but feel really proud of myself for going through with this....you should too....it's a big deal!
