OK!!! I could probably write a book on how not to follow a weight loss plan. And what a real roller coaster ride of weight loss is all about,but I will spare you ;0}.
Reality hit again about 3 weekS ago, My doctor told be I was OBESE. I have had some medical setbacks and my doctor gave me a list of 23 medications that she has me on to reduce the swelling to stopping the pain.The meds have made me pretty lathargic.I have gained all of the weight I lost plus found much of the weight that you guys have probabaly lost LOL. Anyway when she said that word OBESE, I felt like I got punched in the head.
I decided to go COLD TURKEY... Stop the meds, they where not helping much anyway,I have been worried about becoming addicted, Vicodine is good for that. I live with about a constant 9 in the pain arena and have no feelings in my hands and arms but luckily they still work ok. I have spine surgery scheduled on july 15 (wish me a speedy recovery). I bounced back the first time because I was in great shape but this time it may not be as quick unless I get back to the level I was at when I had the first surgery.
The last 3 weeks have been an eye opener. The pain is steady and I am getting use to it;it pretty much stays the same unlike before when it got real bad.. I took the meds and it felt mucccchhhhh better then the meds wore off an it was even worse. I was not sure if the pain was worth it but it is managable.
I spent a few weeks reading through some of your stories and realized what great determination that I am sourounding myself with by re-focussing on joining all of you in transformation process and you becoming part of your support group as well as having you guys as part of mine. THANK YOU...
25 Feb 2008 was my re-birth so to speak- 297 wow. As of today 13 Mar I am 279 and unbelievablly re-motivated. My goal is to get back to 222 no-matter how long it takes.

So buckle up friends and lets take this journey together. Whatever you need I am here for you...
