New on myfitnesspal
I had RNY on March 30, 2012. The last time I weighed (I think 2 weeks ago) my weight loss total was 56 pounds. I have my 3 month follow up on the 28th and I am excited to see that number on the scale go even lower. Looking forward to meeting you! -Becky

Exercise....What is everyone doing?
Exercise....we hate the word and some of us may dread having to do it everyday, but let's be honest. We HAVE to do it! I'm just curious what everyone did after their surgery to keep fit and what they are still doing today. ~Windy

Hi new to the group! :)
