It's been a while.... SW: 271 LW: 206 TW: 203

Starting Weight: 271 Last Week's: 212 This Morning: 210 Goal: 150

Starting Weight: 271 Last Week's: 215 This Morning: 212

Oh god, no. I walked/jogged. haha

Starting Weight: 271 Last Week's: 218 This Morning: 215 I need to get back in the gym on a more regular basis!! Walking/jogging a 5K this weekend. I think I need to sign up for these every 4-6 weeks...to keep me motivated and working out!

My surgery was Dec 21st and I got my gym membership Dec 31st. That being said, it took a couple of weeks to really get going...and then of course, I wasn't cleared for weights until late January. At this point, I can walk/jog 4.2 miles in an hour, but it's work!! I also completed half marathon last Sunday...and that almost killed me. haha

Alright, I am there! How exciting!

Thanks for the encouraging words! I didn't train as much as I wanted to, and I really wanted to be down another 21 pounds by yesterday before the race....I really think exercising is important to making this weight loss thing happen at a steady pace. Yesterday definitely motivated me to get back into the gym 5-6 times a week instead of 2-3, though!

Just discovered this thread....I also weigh every Monday morning. Starting Weight: 271 Last Week's Weight: 221 This Morning's: 218 I completed a half marathon yesterday (first ever...of any kind of run/race), so maybe that's what sparked my 3 pound lost. I have been at 221 for 2-3 weeks now.

I finished the half marathon yesterday. By mile 3, I was contemplating my exit strategy. By mile 8, I was optimistic about finishing. By mile 11, I had an exit strategy and almost took it!!! However, I pushed through and crossed the finish line. I couldn't believe it. That was definitely one of the hardest things I've ever done. haha:thumbup:

OMG...I'm at work right now, and don't have time to comment, Tiff. But your last part is cracking me up right now. I am totally with you on everything you've said! lol More later!

So update..... Things still going great with Mr. Intellectual! I like him more and more everyday, and even got him to join the gym with me. The only thing is...he's really inexperienced with women. Like, really, really. Something I am not used to. He's only had one real girlfriend before me, and he's 40. I can't seem to get past that. Any ideas? Can guys be taught at that age??? lol Ugh...not that sex is everything...but it's pretty important to me. Is this too much information??? haha

So....what's going on with everyone?? It's been a month since the last post, so am ready for some stories! I'm also single. Did the online thing....met some good guys, but none were for me. I just broke up with my on and off again (7 years) in October, and started seeing someone else recently. And by on and off again, I mean literally....dated 3-4 guys in between...engaged to one, etc. So the new guy....on paper, he's fabulous...it just remains to be seen if the passion is there. I'm trying to take it slow, so we'll see! Question for you all....have you or when do you tell them about the surgery? I had mine on Dec 21st, so it's still kind of new for me. This last guy, I met on a dating website for smart people (aka nerds) where you have to take and pass an IQ test to join....haha. Anyhoo, I went ahead and told him before we had met in person. It went well though. He's been very supportive and understanding, and even has joined me at the gym a few times. But....alas.....the passion thing is way important to me...so hopefully we'll work out in that department too! Ugh...I hope so, anyway! :thumbup:

Yeah, I agree with everyone....you are totally motivating! You really should be getting paid for this...haha. I'm surprised you aren't the spokes person for the sleeve somewhere! You really should be. Makes me want to get to the gym pronto!! Congrats on everything!:biggrin0:
