My BFF and I, along with her beau, took our kids to Animal Kingdom today. The weather was absolutely gorgeous! The boys had a great time, and just for giggles I wore my pedometer. 12 freaking miles! Holy crap! And the passes we bought were 3 day passes so we get to do this two more times, without the kids though - having both the boys and them being so young was just too much to handle.

So, here's a couple of pics. The self portrait is literally the night before getting sleeved. Oh, and the pants I'm wearing today are 18's, down from 24! Woohoo!

Wow congrats ,12 miles is a great work out girl =) You are looking good!!

Wow you walked forever! You look great and happy. Keep up ther great work

Wow 12 miles! I don't even wanna drive 12 miles. LOL Great Job! Down from a 24 to an 18 in just 3 weeks. Amazing! Reading this just make me even more impatient while wating for my date!!!! LOL

Wow! You've gone down all those sizes in 3 weeks? I'm almost 3 wks out, and I'm only down 14 pounds, and there's NO WAY I could do all that running around at this point. You're doing great! Me... maybe not so great.

Writergirl - you'll get there, keep smilin'... sounds like everyone has very different experiences & timelines but they all get there....... Hang in there!!!

Lilee84 - - you look GREAT!!!! Happy & enjoying life! 12 stinkin' miles!?!?!? That's amazing!!! Congrats! Keep it up! And I *love* Animal Kingdom....forgot about it 'tho....you may have just given me an idea for a fun trip in the hope-to-be-soon-near-future!!!!!

Thank you! Apparently I'm loosing inches like crazy in my mid section but nowhere else. Like PP said, everyone's experience is different, but the one thing we all have in common is we totally deserve this! Keep us posted when you get your date, we're all excited for you to join us on the losers bench!

Thank you! TBH I didn't think I'd be able to handle all that either so I made my friend and her BF take their car just in case I needed to leave early, but I felt great the whole time! Ya never know until you try You'll get here too, ya just gotta give it time. Yesterday was the most active I've been since getting sleeved and honestly if I hadn't just gone out and done it without over analyzing my physical state, I probably would have convinced myself I wasn't ready and spent the day piddling around the house.

I think today I'm gonna strap the munchkin in his stroller and walk to the park which is about 4 miles away... We'll see how ambitious I'm feeling once he gets up from his nap
