Surgery is officially booked for 12/22!!!! Tummy tuck (inverted T) and breast aug!

I did the inaugural Star Wars half last April and it was amazing! I def recommend staying at a Disney resort and using the transportation they provide race day if you do a Disney race. You have to be in your corrals crazy early and a lot of roads close for the course.

Yea after sleeping on it and trying to be rational.....I'm gonna have to wait. I'm doing a half in November and will maybe attempt the Star Wars challenge in April.

Question for runners or anyone post plastics..... Do you think I could reasonably run a 10k Saturday followed by a half marathon Sunday 2 months after my tummy tuck and implants? Is that enough time to recover enough to run again?

177! Thank you!!

I'm the opposite! I grew to 5'11 apparently at my last doctors appointment. (To be fair this was the first time I've actually been measured...I always assumed I was 5'9 and 3/4). lol I just reached 177lbs and am finally in the normal BMI range which is amazing. I was 340lbs at my highest weight. I'm shooting for 170lbs.

A coworker sent me home with a bag of jeans that were too small for her.....I just tried on and fit comfortably into a pair of size 8 jeans! I may have cried.

Aww thank you!!!! I actually got carded tonight!!!!! It made me really happy. lol. ....I did go to a spin class to justify and earn that beer!!!! I rarely drink...but when I do I try and earn it at the gym. But yea. I don't recognize myself a lot of the time. Now or when I look at old pics. It's bizarre. This skin is def super uncomfortable but also emotionally difficult to carry. Its something I can't wait to be rid of. I wore a size small pencil skirt to work today. Got called "tiny"! but I don't think I'll ever feel "small" with this much skin hanging. Hopefully once it's gone. Spin is def a new obsession, and something I never thought I'd try or be capable of doing. It's intense. And while I've only been going a couple of weeks.....it blows my mind every time that I'm able to keep up with the super crazy fit people in there. I leave feeling strong and bad ass awesome. It's a total high.

My BMI is finally in the "normal" range!!!!!! And I went shopping over the weekend and did another closet clean out....I fit into and bought a size small black pencil skirt!!!!!! A SMALL!!!!!! I weight less than I did in the 5th grade. And In middle school I was wearing adult XXLs. So to now fit into a small....is just unbelievable for me.

You look amazing @@CowgirlJane! I'm hesitant on my thighs and they are def on the back burner. She recommended just an upper inner thigh lift down the road but I'm hesitant. And shy of being naked or in a bathing suit ((luckily for me)) it's really not noticeable in clothes. It does bother me tho.

Congrats!!!!

177.2...... Which puts my BMI at 24.7 and in the "normal" weight range!!!!!!!! Happy 4th everyone!!!!

Ditto on the deodorant comment above. Like every other amazing female killing it in the gym....I don't sweat, I glisten. LOL But yes, thank you deodorant and dry fit!

" data-cite="crisp fall weather " data-ipsquote-timestamp="1467343684"> What a great birthday present! Our stats are very similar. I'm 38, 5'11 and present weight is 265(pre surgery), my HW was 286. Just curious, what is your GW? Keep up the good work. I'm looking forward to surgery (sleeve). Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App 170 is my goal weight.....or maybe slightly under that. It will be 50% of my body weight lost. I'm focusing my concentration more on just getting stronger and attempting to tone up as much as I can. I feel in love with spin class yesterday (I was always terrified to try it!) and am going to start incorporating spin into my routine. And I'm signing up for the Everglades half marathon which is in November. I focus better on working out when I have a goal to accomplish. It's motivating.

Haha @"Valentina" I don't think im missing out on much with that one. I don't have time for that crap. Onward and upward.
