Hi everyone, I hope everyone is doing great!!...I must say that I have stopped loosing. My next goal was to be at 110 lbs, then maybe 105 but that doesnt look like its going to happen soon.I've been at 119lbs for a while now although I can squeeze into a size 3 sometimes..YAY.. Maybe this is all I will loose. I have to admit that lately I've  fallen off of the wagon. I've been too busy to keep up with my life. Sometimes I dont eat and I know that is not the right way to use this tool, but shit if I don't get hungry, I forget to eat..lol- In October I was in 2 car accidents and the 2nd one really messed up my neck and back. I have to go to physical therapy twice a week and that takes up alot of my time besides all the other crap I have to do such as work and family and appts. I still go to the gym everyday but I know that it doesn't help if I dont eat enough. Yes, sometimes I feel like shit and weak and feel like im gonna pass out...(I hope not). but all in all 99% of the time I feel great and do good. I drink all my protein and I definetly do my vitamins and calcium. I just have to eat better I guess, so that is my priority... Ana, Antonia and Rose I hope to see all ya in group next week. I wanted to say that my friend Tobi from work is doing great with her weight loss, kudos to her....40lbs. plus+..- My cousin rose..keep it up girl...we will get there...youll see- im here for you... and last but not least....my friend Josh...he is the best, i get a warm feeling when i talk to him- keeps me on my toes....very supportiveand caring, thanks to all for hearing me out.....ttyl.....

Hello,

I did it guys!!!!!!!!!! and it feels damn good!!!!!!!!! On Sunday I participated in my 1st ever run/walk for a special event. I joined Race for the Cure and I did it all the way!!!....5 miles took me under 50 minutes. I can't believe I can now run and enjoy moving a lil faster than before (or alot faster). It was a great experience and I was joined by my coworkers who are a great support. I will post pics later. The weather was perfect. Im a lil sore but I dont care, I was looking forward to the event. I hope that I can join more events such as this. It's a great way to excercise and show support for those with breast cancer. Very empowering. After 1 year out, Im still doing good on my vitamins, water and excercise...still need to remind myself to eat though- dont feel hungry yet and I hope it stays that way...havent really lost any more weight and I switched to a prenatal vitamin
  (I guess theyre supposed to be better than regular vits) well see how those go. I'm just happy that I have accomplished another one of my goals in life. TTYL

Hello, Everyone....update...I was involved in a wellness challenge at work and it was determined that we came in 2nd place...... it was great and what a great workout...we got Ipods for our prize..pretty cool i guess...i have signed up for Race for the Cure event on Oct 5th..I believe it is a 5k...should be a piece of cake...lots of co-workers joined also.....Im still not seeing any movement on the scale...im still at 123..thats cool I guess. at least its not 250 . Nothing new...i have noticed lately that I get dizzy all of a sudden..dont know why...Maybe i need to eat more...who knows...I hope to see everyone at group.....till later

Hi Everyone...I hope everyone is doing great....I have now been exercising every weekend with my co workers for 8 weeks...can you believe it...I cant..its crazy how time flies.....I now weigh 123 lbs ... I am only 3 pounds from my goal...hopefully I hit this by 08/27 (Surgiversay date)...im so happy Im in a size 4 or 6 depending on the material I guess...It's been a great journey but dont let that fool ya, I've had my days where I cannot keep anything down. I hope to see everyone in group tomorrow,I always like going to those.  This has been the most amazing thing ever and I would do it again in a heart beat. Not only do I look better, I feel better and my overall health is improved tremendously, this is the best ever. Fitting into smaller clothes and being able to exercise without struggle is my WOW moment every single time...
THANKS TO DR JOHNSON......LATER

Hello....well looks like it is going to become a habit for me now to go on these walks on weekends. It feels great afterwards. Ofcourse I'm sore and tired but it is worth it....Ive seen alot of places downtown I didnt know where there. I enjoy walking with my coworkers. This weekend we walked 10 miles and finished in 3 hours...that was good. The weather was not to hot and there was breeze. Next week we are planning our walk on sunday morning and it looks like it will be 14 miles...cant wait...till next time...hope everyone attends group.

So I hope everyone had a great fourth of July. I did but I'm also very tired and sore. On Friday the 3rd, three of my coworkers and I went on a 16 mile hike around town. And I don't mean just a regular walk....oh no...it was fast paced walking. It took us literally 4 1/2 hours. It was crazy hot and I got a nasty sun burn....If someone would of told me that I could walk that much in one day about 1 yr ago, I would of laughed. I wouldnt/couldnt ever walk 3 blocks without huffing and puffing...I have to say im very proud of  myself. My entire body is sore, I feel like someone kicked my ass...lol. Myself and coworkers signed up for a wellness challenge at work against other teams and out of 115 teams we are number 1. I feel great!! my goal weight is 120 at my one year anniversary, I hope I make it. I have to admit that right at 7 miles of our walk I wanted to call a cab to take me back to my car but i had to keep on, no looking back. By the time I knew we were about 2 blocks away my legs wanted to give out I was so exhausted. I got in my car and did not want to get out. I got home and called it a day....im doing great...hope everyone is too....till later.
