Treadmill victory



Recommended Posts

I just wanted to say that I jogged on my treadmill today for the first time! I am a 63 yo woman and don't think I have ever done that bf. I tell you I felt so good doing it and will continue this so I can enter a race with my daughter this summer for sure! I was floating..and sweating but didn't kill me!:wink0:

Congratulations what an accomplishment. I wish I had that stamina. I have all to do to get myself to walk on the treadmill and then I increase it to a rapid pace but that's it. Best wishes I hope you make it to do that run with your daughter.

Thank you all.

Another question. I hate to say it but my butt is nonexistent, flat as a board and was wondering if I keep jogging will it help the ole butt? I can feel some tightness in the glutes now, but is there hope?

Great job! I've heard running is a great way to tone up, so maybe it would help with the butt. Mine's also flat and it jiggles terribly...if the jogging does it for you, let me know because I think I would get past being terrified of running and try it if it would help with this Jello butt.

Jiggle butt! So funny Dee dee and I know you work out and dance so I must be looking at some serious work on mine!! I will keep on and let you know. My daughter runs and she complains also about her butt jiggling but she doesn't do any other exercise and sporadic at that. Buns of steel is my hope but hamburger buns is more like it for me.

Itstime, congrats on the endorphine rush working out. That is great.

FYI, from a mans view, nothing wrong with hamburger buns...

I hear running definitely tones up, but all the runners that I know personally suffer from tiny hiney.

Now, I love, love, love squats, lunges, and these funky tippy toe exercises I do to help my toosh. I have noticed that I'm getting a little curve to the bottom of my butt, and jeans actually look good on me.

I wouldn't mind the tiny hiney (cute phrase) so much as long as it was lifted and not a big bowl of Jello. You're right though, lunges and squats probably need to become my best friend.

Congrats! That's awesome...I cannot even try to jog on the treadmill for fear of falling, so I stick with the sidewalk. :)

The only reason I got on the treadmill at home was a nongym day and the weather here is COLD and SNOWEY. Can't wait for spring. Ash you are doing great down 97lb! Looking for spring soon to be outside again to exercise.:crying:

      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.

      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?

      April Surgery
      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

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
