Short and Chunky

Glad to here you are doing so well with that jogging thing Lmom1980...For some reason I still run out of breath too quickly for jogging so I am still walking - walking faster, but still walking. Sorry to hear about your feet and winter coming. I really don't have any suggestions for your feet except to massage them with peppermint lotion at bedtime - that really seems. to help sore tire feet - as for winter - I live in Florida so I have no excuse for not getting outside and hoofing my 3-4 miles each day. How do you like Zumba? I am looking for a class here that fits my schedule. I am afraid I will look FAT and stupid but I am willing to give it a shot. My weight loss is moving right along - down 64.5 pounds as of last night - only 51 more to go - woo hoo,....I feel great and have absolutely no problems with my surgery..Hope you are contiuing to do well and will make it throught the Thanksgiving Holidays (if you are in the US) with out any weight gain... Take care - Short and Still Slightly Chunky (Melinda)

I did my first 5K last month (a charity event) - I had to walk but finished in under an hour so I was proud. This crazy 5K was up and down the ramps of the Gator Bowl here in Jacksonville - thought I was going to die - but knew I was going to finish if it took all night. You guys are so inspirational and helpful - please keep positng. I was banded and plicated (yes, I had BOTH) on 7/7/11 and I have lost 50 pounds (I am 60 yrs old) Feel great and have had no issues except occasional shoulder pain. I am now doing 5K in approx 45 minutes so I am getting better. Planning on doing the Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure in October with co-workers. Hang in there guys ! we can do this together !!!!
