Tressa's weight loss continues.

Tressa has a personal "trainer" so we call her. This person is in the home from the time she is off the bus until all food prep-clean up is completed.

SHE HAS LOST 12 POUNDS!

During the time the personal trainer is at the house; Tressa walks/runs 8 to 12 blocks, jumps on the trampoline, plays basketball, has a Wii fit game that has a core building ball she stands on... photos are coming. She is hoping to get a bike which fits her, (3 wheels) and other activities to help through the summer days off school.

Her body clearly shows the loss. people have started commenting that she has lost weight. She has more energy as well.. I believe it is a combination of vitamin and medications which started along with the physical activity although CLEARLY her food intake with 100% supervision is less. The catching of fingers in the cookie jar so to speak are 99% and a HUGE eye opener to all of us as to the level of her ability to achieve a desired item NO MATTER WHAT THE COST.... and now she can not.. things have changed a little--today while I ran in for some band aides for Kaitlyn CRASH face...oh anther story...but while I ran through the store while she was dilating during her eye specialist appointment she is just gorging down and apple inside the store as if she hadn't ate in years...We had a little chat about "stealing" and we took the apple to be weighed and she could eat it as long as the points we counted... the poor lady behind the counter came running with a chocolate chip cookie thinking she was HUNGRY... I had to do the quick speech about PWS and gave her a card to look it up on line as she seemed very interested as a Deli/bakery person.....You know the line..I might have that....LOL
