New Low!
Dec 27, 2010
I Can't believe that I've reached and gone past my goal weight of 160 pounds. Weighed myself today and was surprised at 152 pounds! Tried on size 10 pants and I can button the top but can't zip them yet.
Yeah!

Celebrating Weight Loss
Jun 14, 2010
Thank you to Alexian Weight Solutions and the Kane Center for the fun baseball outing! Hopefully it won't rain next year. It was fun seeing the doctors and staff in an informal setting. It was great to meet others and share stories!

kids say the funniest things
May 04, 2010
In my art class we discuss lines and the students have to give examples. One of my first grade boys says,"You are a good example Miss Walker!"
"How am I an example?"
"Well when you were fat, you were HORIZONTAL, now that you grew taller you're VERTICAL!"
I love it! Only in the eyes of a child do you grow taller, not loose weight!

lost 8
Mar 23, 2010
My pattern of weight loss seems to be stay the same for 2 weeks then on week three lose 6 to 8 pounds. I still work out 2 to 3 times a week at the gym walk for at least 30 minutes a day, watch my diet, eat a lot of protein. I guess i'm wierd this way. At least I am still losing weight.

Giving Back
Jan 24, 2010
This last Saturday I gave my testamonial of my WLS at a seminar at the Kane Center. Besides giving back to others, I also learned some new information. It was like having therapy. Looking for photos was eye opening. My teacher friends at my school gave me photos I'd never seen before. They never showed them to me because they were sooooo bad. I told them if they had show them to me earlier I would have done the surgery earlier! Man I was FAT! Why didn't I see it? At least I woke up and made the changes that I needed.

Stalled at 100 pounds
Dec 20, 2009
Hi, I have a question. Has anyone else's weight loss slowed down when they lost 100 pounds? I was doing so good, then in October had a bad cold. I didn't go to the gym in case it was the H1N1 flu. November started back at gym and have not lost a pound! On the good side, I see a lot of new muscles! I can walk a mile in 15 minutes without breathing hard. I walk a mile each day at school besides going to the gym. I guess I should try running on the treadmill now. I'm at 184, doctor says 144 is my goal. My health club says I'm just right. I still have a belly, but is it just hanging skin?
I guess I'm just feeling frustrated.
