Hello out there?!

Hi all! I am new here and trying to get to know some folks. I have lost weight before but I gained it back (happens)! My doc said I needed to get gastric bypass surgery to lose weight and I am here to show her who's boss! When I said I needed to work from the inside out to lose this weight, I think maybe I gave her the wrong idea. Anyways! I'm hoping to find some buddies who like to laugh and who are serious to lose fat bags! Hope to hear from you soon!

    Hi Bebe: I would be glad to be your friend! This program really inspires me! Makes me accountable for my calorie intake ( I stop and think, "Do I really want to eat that & have to put it in my food diary," Also, keeping track of the exercise makes me feel good emotionally, & physically! I keep a large desk size calendar on the wall beside my treadmill and mark in RED the days I exercise, how many minutes, etc. It is so nice to be in contact with other people on the road to getting healthy!

    That's awesome that you have made the decision to become healthy. We are all here, very supportive. :) Feel free to add me.
  • Hi Beba, Add me as your friend too. I don't think anyones to get gastric bypass surgery to lose weight unless their life depended on it. You can do this on your own. I too believe that you have to work from the inside out. When you have issues you haven't come to terms with, you can't move on to anything else. If you want to chat more about this privately, message me b/c boy I have a lot of issues that hold me back to. Maybe we can help one another!

    I remember when my doctor told me I was a candidate for gastric bypass. The next time I go see him, I'm going to make him say out loud, "You no longer qualify for the surgery." We've had a love/hate relationship for quite a while because of my weight. He loves to bring it up and then I remember that I hate him. :tongue:

    Go get 'em!
