No change

Well, I should say, no change in weight. I haven't lost any more pounds since I've started at the gym. However, I have seen a huge improvement in my treadmill use. I started out with a speed of 2.6 being about the best I could manage for a decent pace. Now, I go at 3.0 with an incline of 1.0. The 3.0 is about the fastest I can manage without having to jog (not ready to try jogging, yet) so I up the incline to make the pace more difficult. An incline of 1% doesn't seem like much, but it goes up in increments of 0.5, so I'm at the second increment. I'm impressed with myself!!!

I've been walking to and from school in the morning. Today we were able to walk in the afternoon, too, because the weather was so much cooler.

My mom asked how much I've lost. I told her just under 110. She said: Aren't you embarrassed to tell people that? I said: No, I'm quite proud of it! She said: I would be embarrassed.

What do you think? Should I be embarrassed? I'll happily tell everyone how much I've lost and how much I still need to lose and what my goal is. Yes, that means they can add things up and come to the realization that I let myself get to almost 400 pounds!!! That's the part that is embarrassing! Not that I've lost so much.

Anyway. I guess I just need to write that off as another mom thing.

Have a great Labor Day Weekend!!!

You should be proud of your accomplishment. So should your mom.

I agree with you Wendie, it is a great accomplishment and people really do like to celebrate with each other. Just deciding to have surgery is a reason for celebration.
