I'm so sorry. It takes so long to grow it back (hug)

Dang! So sorry to hear this. Pity party on, Wayne!!!

It'll grow back and I'm sure you still look great!

Jenn1, they always could see your flaws, but now they can also see your success. When you stand in front of the audience, remind yourself of how awesome you are and tell yourself that few in the audience could do what you have done.

IcanMakeit is so so right. I'm sure it's scary but you need to think positive even though it's not in our nature. I know you will do fantastic tomorrow!

Thanks for having my back Gowalking and Icanmakeit. Not walking away from the challenge to overcome my little fear.

its a bit harder these days. I went from high calories before my half marathon. I'm getting back on the bariatric eating plan...detoxing from carbs. I'm feeling bit cranky.

I'm jealous. It's been too cold for my hubby to participate in things with me... Still pushing him *smile*

Woohoo!!!! Get it girl.

Xs! You go girl, I wanna be like you when I get younger (lol).

Jenn, I looked at your stats and you are rocking that sleeve! I'm going to private message you, I need to ask you some questions.

I am jumping on the pic demand train.

Jamie You are an instigator. Lol I think I need a drink or two to be brave enough for that my friend.

I'm in my late 40's girls. If I show you better believe you better give me your pics!!!!!

Enjoy the snow...

34 degrees (celcius) here today and 36 tomorrow...

Ahhhh...

Summer in Australia...

Dang that's toasty. I will do a snow angle for you

good for you on getting rid of them - anything i can't "handle" is not allowed in the house - temptation is all that it is cracked up to be - keep up the good work - congrats kathy

Congratulations!

Glad to see it warm up. I live on my patio most of the summer. I love summer nights when it cools down to 90. Sitting outside people watching at the village or downtown is the best at night.

Oh my god. You guy's made my day! I will have to get a pic up. I have been Spanxless and spankless all day thanks Steve.

Babbs. Had a great time at fit one. Would love to grab some coffee if you have some free time.

Good for you Jenn1. A goal you set was high and you got there, that's amazing. A great inspiration for the rest of us.

Kathy, You are too good to me. Yes I am in my fabulous forties and I'm also a new grandma. I just bought a jogging stroller to take my grandson out on my next 5K..

lol I guess I am a proudgrammy

Congratulations! You are a true inspiration!

crazy Idaho weather!!

I am dreading that first time...I would be scared sh!t/e$$

Oh yes..Not pleasant. I recommend a flu shot.

Hope you feel better. I've thrown up twice from eating too fast, not fun...

The days I'm not training I get in 1300 to 1500 calories in. Training I burn 700 to 1000 calories with cardio. Eating 2000 calories is comparable to grazing. I eat a normal portion when I feel space in my tummy I eat again. I eat from 7:00am I finish around 1:00am its a all day project.

I had lunch yesterday with a friend (he is also sleeved ) He finished his meal and had it boxed. He was sweet enough to wait for me to finish an entire plate of food.

Okay, that makes more sense then. I did an experiment a couple of days ago to see how many calories I could get in in one day. I managed to get just below 3000, but I had to eat 10 separate times and I had to eat a ton of CRAP. I felt terrible after, so I don't think that's a good long term solution for me. I was trying to figure out how I could "load up" on calories the day before one of my long runs. But after eating all the crap, I felt terrible and definitely not up for a long run. So I am going to have to figure out something else.

Balancing protein, fruit, vegetables and carbs for 500 cal for each meal so far is working. I cant stomach loading up on an all carb meal in one sitting. It make me feel crappy.

Just checked the news today they are asking residents to evacuate that live 10 miles away from the winery. The fire is 11% contained...No cancellation yet...Why am I so optimistic. It would be an experience to run next to the vineyards with a wild fire in the distance.

I was thinking of you today while driving north from CA to Oregon. We drove through so many miles of thick smoke from wildfires. In some places, just breathing was challenging.

Made 3rd place for women in my age group. 33 overall out of 586 runners. I'll take it.

So true the guys look better with hair loss. I tell my husband its just more skin to touch. Not such a good look on me. Seems most people hair grows back six months after it started to shed. I was not so lucky. Had to laugh I need one with a bit of gray hair in it. I posted a quick picture of it. http://www.bariatricpal.com/gallery/image/86250-year-1/

Wow!! You look great and you'd never know you were wearing a wig!!

blushing* thanks

GOOD!!

I guess you are back on the invitation list?

Back on the invite list for now....The drama in the neighborhood HOA has mellowed out.

Correct form. Some machines don't fit a woman's frame. I used a exterior oblique machine to strengthen my core. It will build muscle to make your mid section thick (straight up and down waist) Not an hourglass shape. Who knew...lol

Oh okay. That is nice your gym has a class like that. I read this article a long time ago https://www.t-nation.com/training/sexy-female-training and talked to some trainers. It talks about how Britney screwed up her midsection overtraining her abs. It is an interesting read if not entirely accurate.

It was interesting. I have been on body building.com. I'm not sure if I'm looking for sexy or athletic workout for my body type.

Babbs. Thanks so much. I'm so happy you are so close to goal. Hope you celebrate big.

Congrats! You rock.

Thank you so much!!!

I assume that's similar to our "Relay For Life" out here?

I did this a couple of years ago...

You're supposed to enter a team to walk for 24 hours and get sponsorship...

I did it as my own team...

Loved the article. It is similar to Relay For Life. Race for the cure is to raise funds for breast cancer. My Mother passed away in 2013. She was my main reason why I had surgery. Every year, I run race for the cure for mothers day . All in memory of her.

Let me know next time...

I'll sponsor you a few Australian dollars...
