Well, I am now officially to the halfway point of the pre-op weight loss goal I have. This month I have lost a little more than 22 pounds and I weigh in again in the morning at the hospital. So, we will see what the scale says then.
Yesterday I vamped up my workout and I walked the water channel for 60 minutes which was a mile and a half. I have NEVER walked that far in or out of the water! I am thrilled. I will go back to the pool today to walk that mile and a half again.
I have dropped a clothing size (I am now a 6X instead of a 7X) and I have lost more than 6 inches.
I am working very hard on this diet and exercise situation. I really am enjoying reading about all of your progress. Keep it up! We are all going to be the biggest losers!!!

Good for you Missy.
I started walking on vacation, but now I'm bike riding, much easier on the feet, plus it's so hot here biking allows you to excerise longer. My neighbor and I are going twice a day, once at 6 am and again around 7:30 pm. She wants to lose 20 pounds, I want to lose 100.
I haven't lost anymore, I'm hoping to see a drop here soon.

So far, the VA has said no to my request for weight loss surgery. Man I wish I had the money! Anyway, this puts me in the position of having to get it off myself. My therapist wants me to start journaling more. I have PTSD, 3 major deaths, weight issues, and rape/trauma syndrome. Lots to work on.

I have beaten it before, but it is a tough enemy. It always seems to come back. I think I am just tired of it. I know the other things will seem more manageable when I eat and exercise correctly. It is a little like Hamburger Hill. I battle my way to the top, and then it battles me back to the bottom.

I will cheer you on in every way I can! You are an amazing person and you deserve nothing but the best! Believe me, if I had the money I sure as heck would give it to you so you could have the surgery!
Please take care of you and feel free anytime to PM me. I am always here for you!
