Started 'Couch to 5k today' Anyone keen?
I started the C25k yesterday, it surprised me. I have knee problems and the last time I tried to jog I felt like my knees were going to kill me. I was able to do it yesterday without pain but I was so out of breath. My girlfriend and I decided to try a 5k in the fall, I hope I will be ready by then

HELP!
Don't feel bad, my butt looks like it was flattened out with an iron. I've been doing a lot of squats but it is not lifting up. Does anyone have any suggestions on exercises that I could do?

Eating out! How do you sleevers do it?
I eat out quite often and usually I'll get the soup or salad. I do not order a drink, just water.

Would You Get The Sleeve Again? If So, Why? If No, Why? Would You Change Anything?
I would do it again. I started my journey at 285 pounds and now I'm down to 225. I'm not at goal, but I'm doing so much better then I've ever done in any other weight loss attempt that I've ever made. I needed the help of the sleeve. My weight is coming off in a steady pace, I was a size 24-26 and now I'm an 18-20, not quite single digits yet but I'll take it. My knees don't hurt every single day and my back pain has gone down. I would still like to lose another 50 pounds but I'm so happy with the weight that I've lost. My heart goes out to everyone who has had complications but I was blessed enough to not have any major problems. This surgery has been one of the best decisions that I have made in my life.

Thanksgiving Day Challenge
Challenge goal 230 current weight 233. I was upset at first but I realized that even though I didn't hit goal I did lose more weight than I ever had in my life. Also, this was the first time that I went on vacation and didn't gain 10-15 pounds. I am proud of myself no matter what the scale says. I am so happy for my sleeve but I'm happier that I found this site. You have all been so inspiring and have helped me to not live by the number on the scale. Thank you all so much. Looking forward to the New Year Challenge!
