Still on my journey...

Hi! My name is Diane and I'm a teacher from Wisconsin with 60 pounds to lose. I look forward to working with others to achieve my goals and help you achieve yours.

I originally joined this site in 2008 when I was at my most difficult point. It actually helped me through many decisions. In June 2009 I had gastric bypass surgery. I know many people may disagree with this choice but my health was deteriorating rapidly. My doctor suggested the surgery as a way to get some weight ...
Hi! My name is Diane and I'm a teacher from Wisconsin with 60 pounds to lose. I look forward to working with others to achieve my goals and help you achieve yours.

I originally joined this site in 2008 when I was at my most difficult point. It actually helped me through many decisions. In June 2009 I had gastric bypass surgery. I know many people may disagree with this choice but my health was deteriorating rapidly. My doctor suggested the surgery as a way to get some weight off fast. I have lost over 100 pounds so far. For me, it was a great tool.

Still I would like to lose 60 more and have been at the same weight for almost a year. I remember how much I enjoyed reading other people's posts here and how much inspiration it gave me.

This past year I let my work take over my life. I love my job but it became too much. I have tried to cut back significantly on the extra time but it has been a struggle. It's time to make me my primary concern. That will be key to me achieving my final goals.

How exciting! You have to take pictures and post them please?
At least you are going to a tropical climate, so you will only need lightweight things. Not counting the gifts for your adopted family,
I am so happy for you. Hope you have loads of fun.
I would never be able to be a teacher of teenagers. I love children the best when they are still fresh out of heaven. emoticon
Just keep those seat bones tucked under your spine and those abs engaged,
Flying must be a pleasure now, after you lost so much weight?
Have fun in Costa Rica!

Hello D!
I am back and I have a pouch! And I just love her.
The first three days were a bit hairy, but after every walk, I just felt better. Now I am concentrating on getting all the water that they say I have to take, but I have not had any bad reactions or things yet.
Thanks for dropping by
Is your back better? Are you enjoying your summer holidays?
Bless you

You are going to be able to do the strength exercises under supervision. They will teach you pilates tipe of moves that will have your core 'firing' in no time. I am so happy you got an early appointment with someone who is experienced with your type of injurey.
YES D! My surgery is TUESDAY!
I cannot wait. Just hope the flu my three kids and one husband has, skips me.
Hope you feel better soon...
