I Did It!!!!!!!!!!!!!



Recommended Posts

I finished the half marathon yesterday. By mile 3, I was contemplating my exit strategy. By mile 8, I was optimistic about finishing. By mile 11, I had an exit strategy and almost took it!!!

However, I pushed through and crossed the finish line. I couldn't believe it.

That was definitely one of the hardest things I've ever done. haha:thumbup:

OH MY GOD...CONGRATULATIONS!!! That is so awesome and I'm sure you feel very, very proud as you should. You are an inspiration to me, I'm thinking about trying to jog one of these days.

OMG, that's AWESOME!! And very inspirational. I literally JUST got off the treadmill and still have sweat dripping onto my shoulders, and this was the first thing I read when I sat back down. Great timing--this was the first I've attempted to run in several years... so thanks for sharing that with us, and huge congratulations to you!! :thumbup1:

Thanks for the encouraging words! I didn't train as much as I wanted to, and I really wanted to be down another 21 pounds by yesterday before the race....I really think exercising is important to making this weight loss thing happen at a steady pace.

Yesterday definitely motivated me to get back into the gym 5-6 times a week instead of 2-3, though!

      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! 😞
