Georgia 2,908 Posted June 2, 2012 Yaay me! Lol Rode my bike 2 miles AFTER pushing it down the hill and then UP the hill. Folks, this ain't just ANY hill. Straight up ! My driveway is a long straight up drive to the top of a hill! It scares everyone who has to drive it the first time. All I could think of the whole time was " da da da da daa da. Da da da da daaa da...". Think Dorothy. Lol 1 euphoria.azul reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Georgia 2,908 Posted June 4, 2012 Former_vbg, Wow! That is a low goal. How tall are you? Awesome weight loss shofar? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
former_vbg 198 Posted June 4, 2012 Former_vbg, Wow! That is a low goal. How tall are you? Awesome weight loss shofar? Thanks NannieG. I'm 5'3", so I'm a shortie... LOL I haven't seen my surgeon since a few days after surgery- he's in TX, I'm in MO. I've worked w/my PCP during the past year and he set the goal of 120# for me w/the reasoning that it would give me 5# of wiggle room. He has seen me struggle for years on the weight thing and so I am going for it. I haven't been 120# since probably junior high... 140's probably early high school. By the time I graduated h.s., I was probably knocking on 200#... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bratvp63 118 Posted June 4, 2012 This was a great week in so many ways, first I lost 5 pounds and second I finally made it to twonderland!
