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:

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:

So inspirational!!!! Congratulations!:confused1:

Hey everyone! I was just wondering what everyone's exercise routine is these days. Do you mix cardio and weight/strength training? How many days a week are you doing it? For long timers, have you seen less loose skin depending on the exercising you're doing? I was sleeved on Dec 21st and I got my gym membership on Dec 31st. I haven't been cleared for weights yet, so I'm strictly doing cardio. I'm up to an hour a day, 4-6 times a week. I went ahead and put a goal in place for the spring (albeit a lofty one!!) and I'm participating in a half marathon (Rock and Roll Marathon of Dallas). I might not be able to finish it, but I'm going to try anyway! Anyone else set exercise goals for this quarter?? This seems to be the key for my success in losing the weight and looking good while doing it. So I would love to hear what everyone else does.

This makes me happy! Yeah, I've been stalled for the last two weeks. However, my clothes are getting looser, so I'm not really worried. I definitely need to up my water intake though. That's the goal everyday for me.
