wow what a story. YOu can run good Im at 272 ish and i just got my 5k down under 30mins. Its just a matter of trainning.

Luluc! Maybe under 29:00!

Congrats!!!! Your now a Triathlete!! I have one on july 12th too!

Thanks!! I want to be here for you as i know what it feels like when your starting out at a high weight and you dont have 40-60 pounds to lose.

Thanks!!! MY wife is doing ok. She is kinda stalled right now. BUt she is re assessing her habits. Im pushing right now too. My loss stalls sometimes. THe whole of feb i didnt lose a pound and i really pushed then first week in March 11 pounds dissapeared! Weird! 1 pound a week is GOOD. My doc says its like a 5year plan. I broke all his records lol. HE said if i didnt lose another pound right now he wouldnt care...it was all worth it. BUt i AM going to reach my goal of 180 ish. The emotialnal stuff has been harder than i thought lately. I feel like i can do all the things now i couldnt when i was bigger and i want to do EVERYTHING and thats just not possible finaclly. I want to buy Armani suits and skydive LOL. Nice to meet you. Msg me anytime in case i dont keep up on the thread.

GOsh i totally slpet through the 4am alarm this morning so no workout:( Late for work and everything. Have ppl coming over at 7pm tonight so going to be tuff to get something in. Maybe walk for 1 hour at lunch time? I guess thats something. CeraDad: Good lukc with the 5k tomorrow. Did i tell you i broke 30min on my 5k yesterday. First time ever. Boy was it hard. 29:10 I think tomorrow i will do my long run. Theres a 5k im thinking about on July 4th. Might be a nice way to start the holiday. lots of fun activaties there.

LOL! its easier to measure on the treadmill my time. I should do another 5k race and see if i can get below 30min. There is one on July 4th i could do...mmmmmmmmmm.. Its very hard to measure your own inseam i go by pants size. But thanks on the compliment. It was very hard keeping up that pace. I started at 6.0mph...then 5 mins in 6.2mph ....then at 10 mins i got to 6.5mph and kept it there for the duration. I walked fast for 5 mins to get warmed up before i started the timing.

OJ: just checkin in on your. WOW! you are well below 200 now!!! Are you still running? or just bike? Today was a major break through i had a sub 30min 5K...29:10. Im still bikeing about 60 miles a week for triathlon trainning. I just love watching your progress.

Im sure you will if you work hard at it. Get it in your head your going to workout everyday. start with 20 mins or so. Build from there. Swimming is a GREAT place to start.

we wife had it with me too. I was 440lbs on surg day in Aug 07. Now im pushing through 270 into my 260's. It is possible.

awwwwww Luluc. that was so kind of you!!!!! LuLuc rocks to ...im still hard in the battle. Today was my first ever sub 30min 5k run. To think i couldnt run 5 feet 9 months ago.!!

ok.......... because of you guys i did it!!!! I got my 5k time to 29:10 this morning. I pushed really hard. My first ever Sub 30 min. I do 2 or 3 5k's a week and then one 10k a week.

i might be taller but my legs are short. I have a 29" in seem! I am all torso. That doesnt really paint a good picture of me does it. i LOVE you WOMBAT

Yes i sure did. But i worked my ass off like crazy:) I try and do at least 1hour of exercise everyday.

Froggi: YOu rock lady!!!! Your already pretty what are you gona do when your all skinny!

Thanks. I think it can be overwealming at first when you have 270lbs to lose at first. But it does come off!

Hi, Im Jon. My BMI was 65 when i was banded. I am down 170 in 9 months. Going strong. Id love to hang with you people. You can see i was 440 in aug 08 and now 270. Msg me if you have questions or need help.

I have lost 170 in 9 months. DOnt think i am going to make 200 in 12months. But i cant say i am not pleased!

Jody. I have lost 170 so far. I have another 100 to go but id be happy to help you,

Hey this was very intersting to me.I have ben trying to get my 5k time down below 30 mins for a while. I always end up hitting 32 mins or so on the treadmill. On my Triathlon i hit 33 mins for my 5k. I can run at 6.0 for about 10-12 mins then i have to go about 5.5. I need to work on that 6mph speed. Good luck!

Welcome back Wassa. Good to see Wombat here to.

Cera: You are going LOVE the sprint TRI. I am addicacted. There are a few of them around here. My only problem is there 45-65 dollars to enter. I just cant do as many s i want. My wife thinks im crazy for paying that to exercise. And i so agree with you about the people on machines. I hate it when people rest between sets on equipment. One gym i went to had signs not to do that. The worst was once i was at a Ballys Total Fittness in Cleveland OH when i was on buisness and this one woman sat on the fly machine talking on her Cell phone! I hovered around it for 10mins but nope..she just kept talking. I finaly had to go over and interupt her. 'can I use this machine please?' So i have to limit to one per month. LuLuc: Good job on the crazy workout. I think its good for you body to get a shock to the system once in a while like that. Way to go for hanging in there. Last night: 15mile bike ride. This Morning: Chest and arm workout 30 mins swiming.

Good luck with the 5k CERAdad.

Wow Ceradad did a 10k!!! Way to go!!!!!!! 10k is my high limit right now. Takes me just over an hour to hit it. I ran 45 mins today (about 4.5 miles) Swam for 25 mins. Last night i biked 20miles.

i swim either front crawl or breast stroke. The Water was so cold that i had trouble doing crawl as i couldnt get my face under. I ended up doing breast stroke with my face kept out the water. Ppl do all kinds of strokes out there. Side stroke is extremly efficent too.
