I promised myself I would get my arse back to the gym when I got into the 180s. I did not think I'd hit the 180s for a while. Well, I weighed in last night at 189!!! That's 41 lbs since I started my pre-op ( so almost 5 weeks) I haven't been to the gym in years because I couldn't stand people looking at the fat girl trying to run. Well... I just did it!! I went to the gym and guess what you guys?!? I RAN ON THE TREADMILL!!!! Well, 2 min walk 1 run, 2 walk 1 run. But I did it!! I tried running my dog before and I couldn't stand the fat jiggles/ flops when I ran before. My goal is that, at 1 year out( or sooner) I'm running a half marathon. I can't wait!!!!

Good for you. That is a great NSV!

I can't wait until i can run. How exciting!

That is fantastic!! You'll be running miles in no time. A half marathon is one of my goals as well. Have fun!!!

Girl, you can DO IT!!

I started the same way (I'm pre-op) at right around 200#. Within 6 mos I had completed a 5K, 10K, and half marathon.

You can DO IT!

Whoohooo!!! That is a great NSV!!! I looove to run so I know how amazing this feels. May you continue on the right path and run run RUN!!!

YAY YOU!

Thanks everyone!! I went 5 days in a row, but my body is rebelling as a pulled groin. So I took today and maybe tommorrow off and then I'm back at it. I'm already starting to notice a difference in the running time. I can run for longer at a time. But a question......

When you started back at the gym, did you feel bloated and gain Water weight? I was at 189 when I started at the gym. Within a couple days I was at 194.5!! I upped my carbs ( from 60 to 80)and Protein ( from 80 to 100) for the gym, but now I'm wondering if I shouldn't have. Any ideas?
