Resources


I thought it would be nice for us to list some of our resources that we use or have used in our journey. This board is #1 of course!


WLS Lifestyles Magazine (I subscribe to this and get 4 times a year – good articles)
http://www.wlslifestyles.com/

WLS for Dummies and A Doctors Guide to WLS - Both books a must have. I bought at Amazon.


BMI Calculator
http://nhlbisupport.com/bmi/

Fit Day
http://fitday.com/

Weight Loss Tracker – Thinner Times
http://www.thinnerself.com/files/Expect_Chart.htm

There is another link to track measurements similar to Thinner Times Expect Chart, but I can’t seem to find the link at the moment – anyone else have it?

Calorie King
