Thanks so much everyone!!! I think my next goal will be 240 as that means i will have lost 200. If i get there by August 6th 200lbs in 12 months! Can u imagine that! Id be doing commercials for lap band!

Nikki, I swam for about 2 months before i started this after being banded. But i was super high weight. I would wait untill your port isnt sore. My Doc never restricted me from any execise. Of course...as always 'check with your DOC' And WELCOME!

im still at it 45 min run 10 min walk 20 min swim.

I did lose 22lbs in two weeks. I was platau for 4 weeks then dropped off like crazy.

Steff. Sorry no clue on the podcasts. I cant stand my daughters IPOD and i just hate itunes. I stick with an MP3 player. I know there is a place on the i pod for podcasts. Yeah i think you will do MUCH better running alone for now! Set your own pace. Thats funny about the pool. I was imaging doing laps in my daughter 'Wiggles' pool. I too can not stand yard work. In fact i just signed up for a maintenance plan to have a company do it all this year (how lazy am i?). My wife LOVES a perfect yard but i just dont have the heart to spend hours every week on it. And we are both full time now. BTw..I loved that wet suit article! LOL Good job Ceradad! Today: 45 min run (4miles) 10 min walk 20 min swim.

Steff...thanks i checked her out. Be careful on the running.! Im begging you to try the couch to 5k program! I think its awesome you will be running but running with two other people? im worried they are going to burn you out super fast. Now i know your super fit so you could start it at week 3 or something. But so many new runners give up early because they start with too much. Ill come and do swim laps with you in the blow up kiddie pool. (ahh geez that sounds like one of your neighbours)

Thanks everyone...you guys are doing great! I got my first offical run in Osh Kosh coming up in just a few weeks.

I MADE IT!!!! Friday i weighed 301...and Sat after i worked my a## off im 298!!! I still cant believe it! have not been under 300 forever. Im still going strong pushing for more.

Hey Thanks!!! That means so much coming from a pro like you!!! Im getting my reg bicycle back from the shop next week and i cant wait to ride outside. for now i will just keep hitting the spin class. Another weird thing will be looking for a wet suit if i decide to do the triathlon this yeat.

Way to go Wombat!!! Your a RockStar! I did 3 5k runs this week and today i did a 50min run as i know i have to think about that 10k. made about 4.5 miles in 50mins. Big day for me though 298!!!!! Weighed in today. I havent been under 300 in forever!!!! at this rate its going to be 200 gone in 12 months. I know its thanks to serious exersise. 298!! i still cant believe it. i was 440 in August 07! Keep it people.

I forgot to tell you i dropped by bicycle off on Sat and got a bunch of assc's on it and a spring tune up...should pick it up when i get back. been 5k running every other day to get ready for my first big run in April.

awww your so nice to me. I def had to work it getting eating right and exersise in when i traveled. It wasnt easy at first. But you find ways. And almost everynight they want to take me to a resturant :biggrin: For example i already have an appointment on Sunday at the CHEESECAKE FACTORY:tongue_smilie: all you eat all FREE....i have to work very hard at being carefull:sad_smile: I am a Regional Service Manager for a big factory and i have to train tech's how to fix our products. and visit distributors and warranty companys and such. I was going to tell you im a secret agent like James Bond or a Music producer...would of been much more interesting...sorry
