I too got a lot of comments from friends and family about how they didn't think I needed to something that "crazy" but I knew what I needed to do! I was a BMI of 38-39 too! It was the BEST decision I've made in a LONG time when it comes to ME!

I was up at 0630 (which is sleeping in now!!) and drank a small glass of milk. Since my tummy seems a little sour in the mornings I wanted something in there right away but didn't want to eat anything before I ran! We took the metro into the district and it was great to ask more questions of my friends who have been there done that a lot with races! We were all happy go lucky just having a good ole time! Get to the race area and of course I have to pee! LOL Hit the ICKY potty and get "in line" to go! We all started together but that didnt' last long! I was SO COLD but so Excited and pumped up! I started to jog soon and then run and then walk and run and walk and back and forth! Felt like I was keeping a pretty good pace (a little slower then what I do on the treadmill)! When I went by the Water I did grab a bottle and take a few quick drinks and then ran with the water for a little bit. Took another couple of sips and tossed it! Which is so crazy to just throw something on the side like that, hated to do it but couldn't carry it and run! LOL It wasn't until about 4K that I finally started to feel really warm! LOL I had on my AWESOME Compression pants (from Old Navy) and I had on two long sleeve shirts and the run t-shirt and my gloves!! LOL My Ipod tells me it was 4.5K so I was trying to make sure I would be able to stop it and read my time when done and it all messed up and stoping reading my distance! UGH SO annoyed! LOL So I can really see the finish line and I started to run for it! When I got there I threw my hands up in the air and if I could have I just might cried!!!! I was feeling SO Elated! Words can't really describe the crazy happy feeling I had coming across that finish line! Shane didn't get a picture of me I was totally bummed about that but Mark (my roomie) got a kinda okay one that I'm going to steal! We did this run for Sarah's (my other roomie) Grandma! We were team Joggin' for G-Ma so we accented ourselves in yellow because that is her favorite color!! It was just so Awesome and such a Great feeling to know I DID IT! I have ALWAYS wanted to run a race but even when I wasn't as heavy I never thought about running! This has been a CRAZY 3-4 months leading up to where I am right now and again, it just feels AWESOME!! I did find a place that they posted the times (since the Ipod stopped working right) and my final time was 37:58!! It's a little longer then what I have done on the treadmill but it's a GREAT time for my first race! I'm trying to not be ALL about my time but it is something to really WORK towards, beating myself!! Before the race on the Metro Starting (can't really see us) Passing by DH at the finish Walking around to DH afterwards Our Team (minus one) Chillen out at the awards

I need to find a tape measure so I can do my body fat! I'd be interested to see what mine is! Just last week I went from being obese to Overweight! It was a GREAT feeling!!!

I was about to be like, WHAT why no laffy taffy but I see you are still so new post -op! LOL I have had one small laffy taffy candy since surgery and it was Great but SO SWEET that I didn't want any more! LOL

Yeah I never noticed it either as I too just use the View New button each time I come on! I think a sub-forum of it's own is great! I LOVE seeing what others are eating!!!

I am totally running into issues with this because I am starting work again so I have to buy nice clothes! I've been trying for clearance but haven't found a lot. I don't shop thrift shops even though I know I would be saving a lot of money I was very lucky that the friend I just moved in with still have a range of sizes in jeans from her WLS and she was in 16s for one of her longer times and I'm right around a 16-14 right now so some of them fit so now I have jeans!!

B- Protein Drink L- Chili D - eggs and toast S- cheese it snack mix! BAD but So good!!! LOL Vita - taking it at night with other meds now Water - No good Exercise - no good

Running with a little walking here and there!!! I do this at least 3 days a week and the other days do the elliptical or bike!

I've been on the go since 645 this morning! So I did stop for lunch out B - Protein shake (full 60g of protein!) L - A few bites of a filet o fish and a few bites of fries D - Some sort of fish (not sure yet cuz I'm still SO STUFFED from lunch) S - Non-fat Latte! Oops! LOL V - Am going to start take "normal" ones again and I will take at night with other meds W - Not so good today E - Great! Did 5K at the gym again and ran for the first 20 mins!!!

Nope, no sneezing issues here! LOL I too had a good weigh in this week! I'm down to 185.6 which means .6 away from just being Overweight instead of obese!! B - Protein shake L - 2 eggs and 1 piece of toast D - Roast and carrots S - nana bread Vita - in my shake Water - Not good, been drinking a big ole cup of tea today though (it's half decaff tea/half water) Exercise - didn't get to the gym today because I had to finish packing and loading my car as I'm moving tomorrow!!

Is that where your side hurts? If so, I just had this happen to me the other day for the first time! I slowed to a walk and drank a little water and by the time I was running again it was gone! Good Luck!
