Bama is on a distinguished road
Default

I had my 6 week check up today. All is well. I got my chops busted about not excercising. They said I had about 12-18 months where I could constantly loose weight after that it drops off significantly. I knew that but hearing it made it sink in. So, I hope to start walking 3-4 times a week. I don't have to go back until Sept. Weighed in today at 263.

On Paper I only need about 52 lbs until my surgeons goal. My goal is to be under 200. Even if it's 199. Thanks again everybody.

BTW- The support group I am starting meets tomorrow night for the first. Time I expect 5-7 people. It's going to be an informal meeting. Just meet/greet, but I'm excited. I know I could use a support groups and I'm sure others feel the same way. I believe this is going to be a big step in my journey.
