Oh my surgeversary is may 11th 2016. Will be 1 yr. It goes by fast. Pictures are awsome to look at when i started this and where i am now . Holy cow it is big improvement and 14 sizes in pants

I don't exercise to lose weight I exercise to gain health. You can lose weight without exercising, but just half hour a day of aerobic exercise will give you TONS of health benefits.

It stands for couch to 5 kilometers (3 miles)
It's a running program where you build up weekly to being able to run.
I'm still on week one (three weeks later)
It's 30 minute of waking and running. The first week you walk for a minute and a half then run for 60 seconds then walk again and so on.
It's and app. And there is a thread here where a bunch of us are doing it.

I try to do it first thing in the morning before work. If I waited until after work, I would be able to talk myself out of it. I didn't exercise the first 6 months and now I really wished I would have. I hate exercise and I don't like going to the gym (at all), but I feel so good after I'm done and I've reached my exercise goal for the day. I don't see myself ever "liking it", more of tolerating it.

I have lost 144 pounds in 9.5 months with no exercise! I know I should start but damn I hate it. I really am going to start using my elliptical! Really I am! It's going to happen!

Wow!

This is why I've decided not to use my home scale. I'm only going by the tanita as it gives the the info I need to see my success.

I'm going to tell a story here, because I am good at stories. Yesterday I visited my parents. I do this regularly, because I am a good son. I am not bragging, just stating the facts of the situation.
Every time I visit, my father takes me out for lunch. For reference, he is 82, coming up on 83 years old. We went to his favorite diner, one which we have been eating at since the mid 70s. I ordered the cheeseburger with nothing else. He ordered one of his favorites, a bowl of vegetable Soup with a toasted roll, and butter. The roll itself is close to 8" in diameter, and comes with a quarter pound of butter. He proceeded to finish it off with a HUGE slice of "homemade" French apple pie. It is made right there by the owners of the diner. I love French apple pie. It is one of my favorites.
I didn't care. He ate these things right in front of me, but he is my father, the man who raised me and taught me how to be a man myself. I was more interested in his company than what he ate. Who knows how long I will have the privilege of his company at his age? And isn't that the important part?
Learn to find the fulfillment in the people around you rather than the food they are eating. We need to eat to live, not live to eat.

Yea it's gonna happen. Don't be mad.
