The only thing that worries me about sharing on this forum is that I don't see progress as competitive. I watched that show 'My 600 lb life' and the woman there is not typical and I feel sad for her, because she is not being honest with herself. But that is an exceptional example.
I think 23 pounds in pre-op is fantastic and 82 pounds overall a cause for celebration. I was really cranky with myself this morning when my weight went up by a pound - but I know exactly why it did. Yesterday was a big drop, it was also a stressful work afternoon and I foolishly went back to 'oh it won't matter if I snack on this'. Boom. There's the result today. I even knew I was doing the wrong thing, but I let myself get trapped into old thinking.
So all I'm saying is that each of us progresses differently due to individual metabolism. You've done an amazing job. I think I have too, and everyone else who is posting on here. Even to get to the point of acting to change your life at all is a big step. I guess I'm going back to the concept of doing my 'personal best'. Only I can know if I am truly doing that. Same for you - but from where I'm looking, you seem to be doing just great!

When people you haven't seen in a while don't recognize you!

Weigh in 141.6. Thx

Sent my mom and dad a pic today and my dads response was " I think I would walk right past you and not know you were my daughter!" Made me tear up!!! He is the sweetest! He did continue to say we looked wonderful!

When people call me skinny! As if I can understand that word!!! Also when they say don't lose too much more because that would be too much! Hahaha right!

I posted a couple days ago and I don't see my name on the spreadsheet. Not sure I am looking at the right sheet! ????

I did it!!! Got a pair of Brooks! And they had a sale!! Got them for 90$! I was very happy with my experience. Used them this morning and looking forward to tomorrow evening using them again!!! Woohoo! They did feel very cushy! Which I love

How coincidental I just went to a running store today as I am having major knee/walking problems. I was fitted by an expert and bought a pair of new balance. I also have ordered a pair of mizuno and a pair of new balance hiking boots(insulated) for the winter!

So funny I see this post today because literally this week I have decided I am going to the running store to get a good pair! Very excited about it! My feet are a mess right now with the shoes I have been wearing! Excited to read all your comments!

I went to a running shoe store and got fitted. They test your pressure, determine your arch, etc. Best shoes I ever bought. My feet don't hurt while doing c25K, or after. Our store is called Fleet Foot. Ended up with pair of new balance
