Wow!! You will have a total bikini bod when you are done. You could even rock it now!

My before and now Highest weight 333 pounds Surgery weight 282 pounds Current weight 183 pounds Height 5 foot 6 inches Size 10, 12, 14 (ladies sizing is soooooooo inconsistent) Average size, 14 pants Size medium Goal: 140-150 pounds

You do not look 277 pounds. Maybe 210 pounds! You look amazing

Wow!!

Uhm...... Wow, that is all that comes to mind you all make me speechless!

Thank you for your insight. I will give incline another try. I never found that inclined helped my cardio, I did find it helped the leg fatigue though. How I miss running lol. Who'da thunk it ... I am looking forward to being able to run again, and hope I like it even more than before. Another thing I am missing since gaining weight is my flexibility. I used to be able to (3 years ago I am talking) be able to do all sorts of acrobatics, and I was 209lbs. Now I grunt to touch my feet and put my socks on. When did that happen? Lol. Such little things I miss.

So I like running, not at the love stage. I really Like running on the treadmill, and less outside because it rains a lot here. The problem I have with the treadmill, with a weight of 311lbs is, when I am running the treadmill belt slips out from under me causing me to slip. I don't fall, but it causes a twist in my posture. This twist often causes me back pain later. Any suggestions? Has this happened to you? Is it just bad technique? I know I har not given much info, but I am thinking I run "heavy" and when I land, I land hard causing the belt to slip out. So I have not been running lately and avoid the treadmill. This is saddening because I like it.

Yesterday, I was eating an ice cream cone while driving home, and a group of youn adults drove by. They took on look at me, started laughing, and pressed on their noses like a pig making Oinking sounds. I felt so sad, humiliated. I didn't show that it bothered me, but I cried on the wy home. I cannot wait to get this surgery so this doesn't happen anymore.

I live in the fraser valley, and wanted to know if anyone else is waiting for surgery. I had a referral put in last Feb, and have not heard anything yet, I think I have about another 6 months to wait before my first consultation. Anyone else?

how do we add people in fitbit? I am http://www.fitbit.com/user/23DNFC if anyone wants to nag ahem I mean encourage. lol

How are you liking it so far MiTurner247? I have had mine for a few weeks and really like it! I had no idea, i mean I had a little idea, that my like was so sedentary. I have always said I am pretty active, but my eating sucks. Now I can say they both suck and need improving LOL! My fitbit is becoming a part of me!

so just to update on my fitbit. I have had it 2 weeks, and I LOVE it!! I admit my lifestyle sucks, and the fitbit really puts that into perspective! I joined today for the premium, and am not sure how I feel about it yet. My sleep effectiveness whether I am in bed for 9 hours or 4 hours is the same, only about 3-4 hours sleep per night. No wonder I am bagged! lol. Anyhow, I just wanted to update my experience. Tracking food is really hard for me, and I fear that may be something that my surgeon will deny my surgery for, but I need to try. My weight keeps going up. This has to stop! and I am sure fitbit can help! Cheers!

Hiya, So I have been trying for awhile to track my food. It is a nuisance, but I realize it's importance. How did you finally kick your butt to do it? Any tips? Please don't respond with determination or motivation. Cheers Niki
