I am 262.. I dont wait to get to a certain weight to do anything. The time is now I can do anything I want to do at 262, you just got to put your mind to it

Count me in too! My first Challenge :thumbup: I will be shooting for 22. I am currently 262 So 240 would be the End weight!

Ran 5k on the treadmill last night in 36:30 . I am paying for it today.. My knees and Feet are killing me today..

Awesome! way to go!

Sounds like a plan Leigh.. I think that will help... Do you have a 5k race planned? Wish i had an Iphone Thought about getting the nike running thing you put in your shoe. I think i am going to continue to just run 2 to 2.5 miles and try to pick up the speed a little. When I run on the treadmill I am only running like 5.0 mph (which is 12 min mile, nothing to call home about) I think i run faster if i run outside but honestly its way to hot here to be running and I work 2p to 11p and I cant run after work cause it dark and by the time i get up in the AM its hot out already.

My guess is that AGH will be the ER of choose i guess, AGH does Lapbands.

My mom got me the Digital Display for my Birthday It says it going to be delivered on July 1st.

I havent really been following it Leigha :ohmy: I am bad. Last week I ran 3 times, 2.15 miles; 2.5 miles ; 2 miles. Today I ran 2.5 miles today.. I feel good! I love running, its like a natural High.. I cant believe I am running this far at 260+ lbs.. Signed up for a 5k at the End of August.

I meant to say also that For cardio since I had the my surgery in march i have been doing running intervals. So run 1 min, walk 2 and repeat over and over again... I think that helped me be ablet to skip all those weeks.. I didnt mean to showoff heheh

I am doing a 5k at the end of August, I tried to follow the c2k program but it was too easy for me at the beginning so I skipped to week 6 this week. I ran 2 miles yesterday.. I havent been running outside though, I am going to start that next week.. I am sure i will be fine by the end of august.

Havent weighted myself in a week but I have a non-scale Victory to report.. I ran 2 miles yesterday! I am so happy.. I have been wanting to do a 5k for years and I decided to try to do the couch to 5k thing but I got bored of that so I just went for a run yesterday and ran 2 miles! non stop!

Great post Brad Well said!

Congrats B_G!

I am like 3 months out and I still have issues with diarhea. Its normal, like you said Urgent! Its seems all most like dumping symdrome like Gastric bypass people have but I didnt have it.. So i dont know whats going on...

I stay around 1200-1500, I workout heavily 5 days a week and have been losing about 2-3 lbs a week. My doctor seems to be happy with that... I also only have 3cc in my 11 cc band.. Dont have much restriation.

I am so happy for you jodi! sound like you are doing good! I wish i was in a 12 I have gone from a 22 to an 18 so i am almost out of plus size! heheh

I load my bodybugg at night before i go to bed.. I had been wearing it to bed but not the last few days.. Feels good to be free heheh

okays thanks for the reply! Does it matter what arm or side of your body you wear it on?

NEVER! I have always been the fat girl in my group of friends and sadly will probably be even after i get to my goal weight.. it has nothing to do with her weight..

Totally understand where everyone is coming from.. I just want her to be successful at this.. And not use excuses on why she cant get to the gym and eat healthy you know...

I did say it sounded mean spirit.. So i am not surpised about it... My thing is that I dont like the laziness she displays.. I work 70+ hours a week and yet i can find the time to get to the gym at least an hour 6 days a week. But she cant seem to find the time? If you cant workout and try to eat healthly before the surgery what makes you think you are going to do it after the surgery? I am happy for her, I dont think its my right to tell her she should or shouldnt get the surgery , THAT IS WHY I HAVENT SAID ANYTHING TO HER and have said it here. Some of it could be a bit of jealously on my part, She is one of the bigger girls that is cute and i am sure she will be cute when she loses weight.. But I want her to lose the weight, but I want her to know this isnt an EASY way out and you still need to work at it... I figured i would get these types of post$ but like i said before I just wanted to get it off my chest :confused: Either way It doesnt really affect me and I am sure as heck sleeping good at night

yeppie Freebird :confused:

I know this might sound mean spirited of me but Its really upsets me that a Friend of mine is getting banded when she hasnt even tried to lose weight without. She thinks this is going to be the easy way out. How does one know that she cant lose weight without the band? I dont get why a doctor would do the surgery if the patient hasnt attempted to lose weight other ways. I know i should find something to worry about, but i just wanted to get this off my chest :confused:

I have chest pain and feel like i need to throw up when i have stuck feeling.
