Congratulations on the weight loss from one 100 pounder to another. No one really knows what it's like to carry or lose 100 pounds than someone else who has been there and done that and so I appreciate you joining into the conversation. I look forward to hearing how your own journey progresses!

Just doing a little something rather than nothing at all is a huge success. One of the things I've learned in this whole process is that when my body's in pain rather than pushing through the pain there are times the best thing I can do is rest and when I do get moving to do so gently and slowly. We're doing this together Girl!

The further I get away from all the surgeries I had, the more it's sinking in the magnitude of the work that was done so I'm trying to keep my feet grounded and move easily ahead. The fear and panic I'm in process of giving over to God and my therapist :) Kim –> I really appreciate what you’re saying and am working very hard to keep a sensible head about all this and to be kind to my physical body given all it’s been through in this process.

I'm a little disappointed as we had reservations at The Slanted Door for thai food but this just feels the better thing to do for right now. There will always be cake :) Amy–> I know.

You are still in the post surgery stage. you can exercise as you should. I think you should give yourself a break. If you are sticking to the correct amount of calories, then just relax and dont be fearful. When you are upand running, all of this be behind you and the pounds will drop. Take heart my friend. Dont punish your body. it needs time to heal. I have read your post twice now to hear what you are saying and what you are not.

I am trying to do enough excercize without hurting my knees. I know less of me would be great for the knees but my body just doesn't cooperate. I have a ..."roving" artheritis. It is in my knees, hips, elbows, sholders etc. Doesn't hurt everywhere at the same time...just roves around. Trying to get enough excercise to lose weight without crippling myself is nearly impossible. Waa...waaaa where's the beer. (For cryin in...not drinking, unless it's lite of course;-) Your honesty and commitment are an inspiration to me to keep up on the perspiration. I'll keep you in my prayers that you are sucessful at casting out that demon of fat!

I hate it when that happens. I needed to lose about 200 lbs. to get my body to the weight I need to be. I lost 100 lbs. over a few years on weightwatchers and then I had to have major surgery and was not able to be really active for a while. Gradually the pounds started to come back. I gained about 15 lbs and other than measuring my food and drinking plent of water, there isn't much I can do right now. Due to family obligations I'm unable to go to the gym right now. So as soon as these obligations are done, I WILL return to the gym and get my body moving again. Water exercise is about what I can do. So you will be in my prayers, my Sister, as you go through this struggle. I’m sorry that your body is showing off again. I hate it when that happens.
