I Overcame And I Did It :)



Recommended Posts

I went back to the same place I attempted to hike last year when I came within inches of a coiled rattle snack (scurrry) so I didn't finish. Today no snakes to be seen (foggy and rainy) so I actually finished. Steep and difficult at times but I did it :)...5 miles in 1:25 not bad for this ole lady with bad knees and to think I could barely walk up the stairs of my own home in 2010 truly blows my mind!!!!

If you are a newbie with bad knees I'm here to tell you anything is possible :)

Here are a few pics of me at the end of the hike, so happy...also throwing in a before Lord have mercy LOL!

Proud of you! You look fan-freakin'-tastic! Wow... and your arms!!! Good grief!

You lost all that weight and your arms look great - did you do a lot of arm exercises? It sure looks like you did.

Hating my arms right now. I've lost 22 pounds (or so) and I can already see/feel the hanging skin. It sucks! :unsure:

Wow, that's a great time! Even on a totally flat surface, let alone hiking uphill on a rough trail!

Thanks everyone! Here's another picture with me and my hubby and friends who also went with us :).

My hubby finished 1:15 time, and friends at 1:30 hr. As you can see my hubby really sweats, for some reason I just don't sweat a lot :( ...o well.

      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?
