Wow! Sunnie. You sure have done well and it is no wonder, with the way you

exercise. I am looking forward to activity being easier for me. I am working

on losing the 10%, 19 more pounds for the surgery. I have osteo arthritis and

it is difficult to work out in such pain. But I have been pushing myself. It

will get easier I know. None of us have the right to compain about not having

the time to work out when you are as busy as you are and still workout 7 days a

week. Keep up the good work and you will be at your goal in no time.

Hi Everybody! I am new here. My name is -Anne, but my friends call

my Sunnie. I had my RNY Gastric bypass surgery on January 25, 2006. I

started out at 282 pounds and now weigh 167 pounds. Only 7 pounds to go

to my surgeons goal and 22 pounds to my personal goal. This surgery has

been a God-send to me. My blood pressure is normal, my angina has

resolved as has my IBS. My joints feel so much better (I have RA) and I

can now exercise like a demon! lol My work out scheadule is as follows:

7 days a week I do the following:

Swim 50 laps at the YMCA,

walk 5 miles

20 minutes of yoga in AM and another 20 minutes of yoga in the PM

100 crunches on a balance ball

In addition to that I do the following:

M-W-F 60 minutes of cardio

Tu-Th weight training circuit

Sat 60 minute balance ball workout

Sun 60 minute pilates workout

I am a married 33 year old woman with 10 year old surving quadruplets. B

and I are going into the 5th grade next week. A & A did not survive. I

live in Vermont and am in college. I am majoring in social work. My

husband is a cook and is also in college. He is majoring in history. We

have 4 pets. 3 cats (Pepper, Chilli and Sage) and one dog-a

newfoundland/irish setter mix named Elvis.

I am looking forward to getting to know all of you and having some

people to talk about this journey with.

Hugs~
