But in the mean time your strutting around looking > great! > > Hugs > Jo Yea, a year ago I was so excited...dreading it , and feeling great. I am still fighting the insurance. I will not go quietly into the nite. I am still looking at another surgery to fix the one leg....but waiting till Doc K gets out patient options, as I cant afford another DRMC hospital stay. The last one was over 15k....no wonder the insurance doesnt want to pay. I wore a pair of loose leg pants last nite to a party....very stylish, but alas the one leg was tighter than the other , and when I walked they both swung like crazy....sigh. thats why my pants are usually snug,...to prevent the swing. I wear a long line girdle with dresses, but dont like the indentation that shows with pants.... Its always something tho- lol its always something...sigh.... Thanks for thinking of me...(said in my best Eeyore voice....) love you, Sharon in Onyx who cant seem to lose an ounce...but is walking 3 miles a night, 3x a week, up hills.... and nothing....

Guest guest Posted May 26, 2004 Report Share Posted May 26, 2004 Hi Sharon! Boy, can I sympathize with exercising and not losing weight! But, let me give you a hint, sweetie. If you want to get your thighs to go down, do NOT walk uphill. It actually will make your thighs and butt bigger. (With muscle, but nonetheless...) I read that a little while ago and immediately stopped using the incline on my treadmill. Supposedly, walking faster on a flat surface is what people like you and I want. Of course, next month they'll be saying something else. Love you, Tracey > Sharon in Onyx > who cant seem to lose an ounce...but is walking 3 miles a night, 3x a > week, up hills.... > and nothing....

Guest guest Posted June 6, 2004 Report Share Posted June 6, 2004 > Sharon > > I just got to read my Newsletter with your Journey documented. You > did an excellent job when you shared your story at the support > meeting and touched many souls...with your story now in the > newletter others who were not able to attend can be touched as well. > > Great Job > Jo Thanks Jo, After so many real successes I felt a little funny sharing my " not so quite " success. Now, before you all start in on me..... I just wanted to be thin, really thin, for once in my life. But I have really tried to accept that this is what I get, and want others to know that not everyone ends up a size 6, and that it isnt their fault. I havent seen the story yet, but I do hope that it was conveyed that way. I know I have shared with all of you how happy I am and that I am doing things a normal person would do and that is the real success. But there is still that skinny personna that I would like to feel. Just once....Especially now that I am battling weight gain. I know to get that satisfied feeling I will have to have more, much more skin removed from my legs, and I am not ready to deal with that yet- pain wise, or financially. So until then, What you see is what you get.lol. I have to go down to the mail now and face the fact that I did actually do it! LOL Big Hugs until Tues Sharon in Onyx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My problem is I never lost down to the 157 I had set my goal on. I lost down to 188 for a milisecond, but mostly settled at 192. I have gained 10 lbs and cant seem to shake it.
