I didn't make it to the meeting. I have excuses as always. My weekends are just full and going to Annapolis is less then an hour away I'm sure but I need someone to make me go. I will let my girlfriend know about it and she will make me go. She had bypass surgery about 3 years ago.

I'm glad you are feeling a little better and eating better to help loose more weight will motivate you even more. You are Awesome and don't forget it.

My doctor only gives me a fill if I stop loosing weight and have no restriction. I still see him about every six weeks also. Seeing that you don't have a lot to loose your weight lost will be slower on the scale because if you exercise you will be trading fat for muscle. So you will see the diffrence in your mirror and clothes and the scale is going to piss you off. It will just say 5 pounds gained when it means 5 pounds of fat gone and 3 pounds of muscle put on. LOL I call it the devils toy (le scale).

Good Luck Carrie

The scale pisses me off no matter what! I just joined Bally's and it is good so far. There are a variety of people there, which is good because I thought it would only be skinny people. Yeah, slow going pretty much sucks, especially since I am the kind of person who wants immediate results and quick fixes...I'm trying to get over that. Maybe us Marylanders should start a winter challenge amongst ourselves, lasting 10 weeks, weigh ourselves every Friday and report in??? Does anyone else want to do it? I just thought it would be fun and motivating. I'll start a new thread to see if anyone's interested.
