I completed WEEK 1, DAY 2. Woohoo! I went a little over a mile today. And to be honest, it really was a little easier today than on Monday. I also am down 6 pounds (3 lbs last week & 3 this week)! This is awesome. I increased my Water intake and exercise, so I think that's the difference. Excited. :D

Week 1, Day 3 done! And in the rain...which is kinda a big deal, given that I'm black and rain is my hair's enemy. :-D

Anyhow, it feels good to have accomplished this!

I just started this last week. Today I'll be doing week 2, day 2. So far so good! I remember trying this 100lbs ago, and literally couldn't make it past the 5 minute warm up!! I've always wanted to be a runner! Looking forward to the day I can run an actual 5K!

I want to try this, but have various pains going on. My feet cramp and my shins hurt when I run. Legs and ankles dislike my weight too. Anyone have this type of pain when starting and get over it? I have not started the program but really want to :( .

Jenny,

I felt the exact same pains before I started. I completed the 5k program and I'm doing the 10k right now. The biggest things that helped me before I started running was stretching for at least 10-15 mins. It helped my shin pain a lot and plus I was losing weight in the process so that helped too. Drinking a lot of Water before you run won't get you dehydrated either. Get a good solid pair of running shoes too with some Dr scholls inserts. Go to a running store around you and they will help you out! If you have any questions let me know. I'm more than happy to help out!

I used to have a problem with shin splints. It helped me a lot to wear the compression sleeves for your lower legs.

Week 2, Day 1 - Done. Today was a little rough for me. I finished, but I was coughing quite a bit. It's a little cool now, so I think that had something to do with it. Maybe a lil exercise induced asthma. I may have to get an inhaler. We'll see.

I'm hanging in there!

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
