We usually walk in Buffalo because the group is distributed all over the city. If it is just Linda and I we could go anywhere. Como park is a little far for Linda but we could walk closer than Delaware Park most likely.
NBuffalo Girl, we expect to be walking through into December. It warms up as we walk. We are hoping to walk until it snows. | |

Dr. Hoffman seemed to be pleased with it..he says as long as I don't gain it back...(which I do'nt plan on doing) I should be fine for surgery. I would be lying to myself if I said I was'nt going to splurge a *little* during Thanksgiving, i'll be back on plan after that.
Lisa did give me a *tentative* surgery date of Dec 8th (my brother's b-day)..Dr H has to sign a few forms before she can send off to the insurance...hopefully I won't have a problem with bc/bs but we'll see

Wow, everyone is moving to surgery so fast. Didnt it seem like it would never get here? You guys must be so excited!
My loss is slow, but I am not exercising enough. I only will have two days of exercise in this week!

Yeah I know what you mean... I can only lose so much before hitting a road block and yo-yoing again...so I know this is the best option for me too. You'll do well Shar and by spring you'll be modeling off your new bod!

Beyond a doubt I am not sorry I did this, slow loss or not, it was a good move. I think the most important advice I can give the two of you is that you still have to work at it, but it really does give the added boost!!

Val, of course it is raining this am so I do not think we will be walking Saturday, and actually I am sick with a sore throat, but if the weather is good I would consider walking Sunday. I am not so concerned about the cold as the rain. Talk to you later or call me sunday morning if you think you will go.

Does anybody know if it is normal to still have pain two weeks later? At times it is enough to make me stop, sit down and put ice on it. I am only taking Tylenol cause I want to drive. I am not exercising. It hurts To yawn, take a deep breatrh etc. Now it just hurts period. It is my left side and my back.
Big Gurl, do not kid yourself. Maintaining is very hard!!!! I had to do it and it was tough.
