30 minutes on the arc trainer for me this morning.

I'd say you've progressed quite nicely in the last few months....CONGRATS! Way to stick with it!

11.8 miles on the elliptical this morning! two tenths less than my last run, but still a good run. I am now more than half way to my goal weight!

Had a great run today on the elliptical! This was my baseline run for the summer: 11.6 miles in 64 minutes. I'm hoping to do at least one hour long run a week and one 45 minute run. I'm also hoping to actually start hitting the pavement soon.

hope you feel better soon.

9.21 miles in 49 minutes on the elliptical this morning! Only 5 more pounds till I start light running on pavement. I'm thinking I'll just add a day a week of pavement to my two days of elliptical each week. I will continue my two days a week of interval training on the Arc Trainer.

It's been a while since I posted last, but I have continued to work out 5 to 6 days a week. I'm up to 9 miles in 49 minutes on my friend the elliptical!!! I'll try to post more often.

No gym today, but I did a lot of walking at Disney for a new part-time job. It was almost 90° today, much too hot for the long sleeve shirt I was wearing. Tomorrow I'll be doing much of the same. Back to the gym in my fun times with cardio Monday.

8.1 miles in 49 minutes on my old friend the elliptical this morning!

I did five mornings in the gym for cardio this week! Today, no gym. Instead, I will be mowing the lawn. Exercise, but not that much fun. Tonight, I'm looking to have some mini-golf fun. My doctor gave me the go ahead to do what I want in the gym, so I think I will start doing weights 3 or 4 nights a week. That added to my five mornings a week of cardio should do wonders for my weight loss goals.
Today, I'm down 37 lbs. since I started my pre-surgery diet less than a month ago.

Yesterday I walked for almost 5 hours straight (I bought my father a tour of the Magic Kingdom for Christmas and yesterday was the day). Being on a liquid diet for the last few days and walking for that amount of time wiped me out. I am so ready to be banded tomorrow.
My question is... After I'm banded, how long will it take me to get back to, and surpass, the level of cardio workout I am currently able to do? At this point in time, I go to the gym 4 to 6 times a week and do some form of a cardio workout. On my distance days, once or twice a week, I am up to 4.9 miles in 33 minutes on the elliptical.
