Thanks for the encouragement. Sounds like you did great. But my gosh! You are 5'11"? That is tall! You must look great. I'm not saying I don't feel or look good. Of course, comparing to before, where I was 290 & now I am 174, that is a great difference. I am 5'7 1/2" by the way. My goal ultimately was 140. My doctor didn't set my goal. I don't even remember him giving me a # to shoot for. Not to mention I never got any support from my doctor or anyone else from my group for that matter. I tried several times contacting a young lady that had the surgery the same day as I did, but she never responded. And because of all of the insurance problems I had, I never spoke to anyone at the surgery center nor my doctors office ever again. I think honestly that has a lot to do with the way I feel. I feel like I have no closure to my fitness. I am trying, just recently, to start excersing more. But it is so hard with 4 kids. My twin almost 3 year olds, always like to hang on me when I'm doing my dvds, or if I'm on my elliptical machine, they are hanging on the pedals. My husband tries keeping them busy, but one always gets away. Anyhow, that is why I looked for support from this site. I am so glad to see how much response I have gotten so far. You guys are like angels. I haven't met any of you yet, but just the words of encouragement I get from everyone here is amazing. Thank you all.
