congrats on the loss:thumbup:, That's what I'm using. The Wii fit plus and I switch off with the biggest loser. I also just got the weights, are you talking about the balance board or is there a different step out? I'm new to Wii so I don't really know what all they have yet.

I think it is a extension to the board. I don't know much about the wii except for the few games I have played with the grandkids. My mother couldn't talk to me the other day because she is on a wii bowling team at the retirement home....that is so funny.

I did not exercise today or walk. The weather is horrible.....it's coming girls!

That's really funny, But how great for them at thier age to be up and moving instead of just sitting around playing bingo or knitting. Well, the weather is great here today, sunny and 50 degrees so I'm gonna break that bike out I bought and haven't riden(excuse-the weather) I'm hoping I don't fall off. I haven't been on a bike in 35 years, But they say you never forget so we'll see. I've got a pretty nice place to ride because I live in the country, Just have to watch out for Deer crossing and a couple renegade cows that get out every now and again.

I'm gonna do my first weigh in for our challange Tuesday because that will be 1 week since my fill. I also think I'm gonna drop my original goal weight by 10lbs because I'm pretty close to it now and I still look heavier then I thought I would. Anyhow I put the original one where my BMI would be at the high normal for my height. So I think 10 less would be good, That would put me at mid normal.

You go girl! The weather here is bad till tomorrow. I have to go to the grandson's basketball game. I am cooking up some low cal chicken meals today. Hope the chicken enchilada turns out. I am baking the chicken in a lime cilantro Salad Dressing. Then I am going to chop the meat up with cheese and ff cream of celery Soup and of course Rotel . Layer it with corn tortillas and cheese. I think it will tastes yum. Then I am going to make a low cal chicken pot pie. That is challenging.....the low cal part.

Have a great day!

Found out riding a bike is a whole lot harder then I remember. And my street has a lot of hills I never noticed were there even when walking. Felt my age today, but I didn't fall so it's a start. Not quite as peaceful and relaxing as I thought it was going to be. Just kept thinking I was going to die before I got home.

Ummm, That sounds really good. I'm still going kinda light since the fill. I'll try something a little heavier next week. But chicken enchiladas are making me drool:drool: Let me know how they turn out.

Happy Birthday Melissa(one day) ! I hope you had a good one!

How's the wl going? Me, not good this weekend. DH brought sweets home yesterday and we were like two alcoholics. We ate them till they were gone. Then I went to see It's Complicated today, and yes, ate some Whoppers. What is wrong with me? By the way, the movie is really funny.

Sounds like you had an awesome b-day. I called to get an appt with my wl dr today, but the receptionist took my number and said she would call back......no call back. So, if she puts me off tomorrow I am asking to speak to the dr. I need a check up and so does my DH. Hopefully, we will get in next month.

Trying to keep my intake to 1200 is tough. I did increase my Water and I lost another lb. I also walked today. I have the wii fit....need to get on it. I sound like a broken record. Okay, later butterflies!

I did my weigh in this morning and I'm happy to say I'm down 3lbs but I'm not doing the happy dance yet because I want to make sure it stays off. I guess we're just gonna have to take the rest of the journey pound by pound.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

    • buildabetteranna

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
