I needed this so very much, I didnt hit goal and then in three months gained 30 lbs. Yes, I do have PCOS very intensly. But none the less.I didnt make it. It kills me. I want to ride a horse so very much It is my goal reward. I need to hear your words. THX,SO VERY MUCH SISTER. GOD LOVE YA AND KEEP YA. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK. Your helping us out by being you.
Great stuff, Virginia! Thanks for the shout out as the namer of your Cooperchino. :-)) You look AMAZING, woman! Ah, yes...that carb monster. Can´t wait til I have the tool and can finally slay that bad boy dead! I love the way you ask if the tool is failing you or if rather you are failing it. You show that it´s never too late, just like Rosemary does. It makes sense, because the pouch is still there no matter how many years ago the WLS was. It´s all a matter of what you put into it. xxx Jill
Hi Virginiann, Like you said in the video, I need to take charge of you tool. I catch myself eating simple carbs and even drinking a little sweet tea. And then I wonder why the weight is not coming off. I need to kick myself in gear. Thank you very much for the pep talk.
Just so I understand, what you're saying is that whether we use an electric screwdriver or a manual one, in the end, we still end up getting screwed? Just kidding. :-)
I agree about the simple carbs; they are evil and killers in a weight loss endevor. I really try to limit my carbs and the ones I do consume are complaex carbs. great video.
@inspector941 Oh my goodness you cracked me up! Yes it's true you figured it out! I wished I had known who you were in Vegas......I mean I know and knew who you were but I didn't put the face to the name. I wished we had all put our YT usernames on large stickers and wore them on our shirts. Anywhooo next year right? Thanks for watching, you look fantastic!
Those carbs are so nasty, aren't they? They will sink my efforts every time.
Thanks for the pep talk. I succeed, fail, succeed, fail.......blah, blah, blah. At 53 you'd think I could keep the good stuff in my brain. I guess we all need a constant pep talk.
@MissJJinVA I too am 53 but I feel 35... I have a hard time figuring out if my clothing is too young or not, so I am forevermore asking people if this outfit is okay. I constantly need reassurance from people, crazy eh? You would think that someone in their 50's wouldn't need as much advice, but all this new thinness is just that NEW! So keep up the good work Miss JJ in VA! Thanks for watching and thank you for your support,
I didn't get to meet u in Vegas.... I didn't even see u, or recognize u! You look amazing! your legs are Gorgy! I don't think you remember me, but We had our Rny around the same time, we talked about a San Diego Meet & Greet. anyway, this Video was great! thank You! I needed it!
@mermaidTa2 I do remember you! How are you? I don't see any videos from you there are only 2 uploaded and that was some time ago. How is your weight? I would imagine you are at goal! Thanks for watching.....still after all this time. Dang I wish I had seen you in Vegas! Well maybe next year!
this video moved me. THANK YOU! you look beautiful and the porch and flowers and house were so visually pleasing and calming. .. make more videos on the porch. lol. i am posting this on my proofwlsworks fb page. people need to watch this. THANK YOU! have a great weekend.
Awesome video! You have encouraged me to keep going..I have been having a hard time losing but I will never give up..Thank you so much for a great video....Rose
Great video Virginia. You're so right. And yeah, I thought my lapband surgeon DID expect me to lose it all, but I realize that to him I am a success even though I've not reached goal. It is ME who has put the 100% of excess weight loss as my success line. But now I realize that I'm already a success and the rest of the weight I hope to lose is just icing on the cake. I am healthier for sure. I'm exercising, walking, and hopeful one day to reach my own version of goal!
I understand this cerebrally but to get my crackers out of the house...oooooooooooh. Gone. I did do that. It is with a lot of effort not to buy the tortillas and the pretzels. I steer clear. It is the almonds that have held me captive!
@AwesomeForever Thank you LInda... oh I just got the picture you took of the four of us walking buddies thank you so much for that and for watching! I too am addicted to almonds.
