Ok my Goals are of coarse to lose the 70 pounds! However by next summer I want to be able to walk a half Marathon without feeling like I am going to die! I also want to make it the rest of the way up the mountain and actually reach Crater Lake and Get to Fish it!

Next summer I want to be able to walk with my friends and keep up in stead of feeling like an indentured servant, Join in the ball games with the grandkids and dogs, Sounds like we both have a lot to work for. When is your surgery? Mine won't be until after thanksgiving.

Mine was May 24th! Yes a lot of work but excited to move forward!

If you are already sleeved now you will be RUN a whole marathon by then LOL.

I hope so! I have never been a big runner! Bad knees since childhood, so it would be nice!
