Liftingchic

Past 5k race runners... How many days before your 5k was your last run? my 5k is next saturday.. I normal Run Tuesday, Thursday, Sat and Sunday.. Is it a good idea to run next thursday?

yeah i used to be able to feel it go through the band... not anymore.. or maybe i have just gotten used to it..

I Agree!

I am down 30lbs since surgery and have gone from a 22/24 to a 18

I didnt even weight myself.. i have fallen off the wagon... been good today.. hoping to make it up..

I try to only weight myself once a week... I swear my weight goes up and down depending on the weather... i get myself in a rut if i do it everyday..

I would run as far away from movie popcorn as i could.. that stuff is loaded with calories, fat and sodium

I am in... Hoping to get my diet back on track... I am doing the labor day one too but there is no way i am going to reach my goal so i am going to try again.. Its 19 1/2 weeks until X-mas I would like to lose 40 lbs. which would be 20 lbs to my goal (50 lb to doc Goal)

Hiya I am still here... I am just been having a rough time recently and havent had the desire to come here when everyone else is doing so good.. I had surgery at 290 lbs(lost 12lbs for surgery) I am 260 today.. I have been stuck at 260ish for like 2 weeks.. I bounce back and forth between 262 and 258.. I am working out hard, lifting 4 days a week and running 3-4 times a week. I know the area of weakness is my diet, I am so good for a few days and that i screw it up eating crap. I still think in my heart i am burning more then i am eating( i have the bodybugg that measure my calorie burn) but the weight isnt coming off.. I have only had one fill of 3 cc i think. The thing is, i know if i ate more slowly and didnt drink with meals i am not sure i need a fill.. I know that every day is a new day and i try to focus on being good one meal at a time..

I am zero this week :thumbup: I feel like i am doing everything right but its not coming off!!!!

I cleaned downstairs cause I knew i would getting a cather(spelling) for atleast the surgery.. The took it out right after surgery i guess, dont remember it..

ccole, Just checking up on you.. Are you doing? did you get a 2nd fill? I am down 40lbs and I am very happy with that... I am almost 19 weeks post surgery...

I lied on my stomach the next day.. i am a side/belly sleeper.. I use my body pillow and rolled on top of it.. it really helped...

Way to go!

How everyone doing? Georgia~ how you feeling? Leigh~ How you are you doing? Hope everyone is good.. I am still plugging away.. Being trying to run outside one day a week because My 5k is in about 4 weeks.. Need to get used to running outside... I am up to 15 miles a week, running 4 days a week.. I feel pretty good... I think I am addicted to running heheh But I am being careful not to add more miles or speed fast or hurt myself..

thats awesome! good for you!:smile2:

I got some compression shorts.. they seem to be helping some with the belly jiggy.. Still have some pain though, near the port area.. Did abs today at the gym and now that area is sore again..

down 2lbs yeppie!

I ran a 5k on the treadmill on tuesday and with .10 miles to go I got a Sharp pain right where my port it.. I had to Hold my stomach in to be able to finish the 5k.. It stopped hurting right away and hasnt hurt since.. Anyone ever had this before?

Lost O but i didnt gain so i am happy hehe Been a rough week..

Wish I had someone to run with... Its just me and the good old MP3 player... Which stopped working today at 1 mile in and 2.5 to go :confused: oh boy let me tell you it was hard to keep going... Will have to buy a new one tomorrow...

So I signed up for my first 5k, Its August 28th. I also Signed up for a 10k at the end of sept. I think it might be a little too much for me but I will be happy if i run most of it and just walk a little.

Feeling better? Did you run today? Hope you are feeling better.

I just buy single serving ice cream like skinny cow or WW. I am always going to be able to eat ice cream I am not perfect so I allow myself a treat if i went to the gym and have been being good on all other parts of the "plan"

Agree!
