So regardless of how obese I am or have been I have always been in sports and loved running. now that I am 50 lbs down from highest and 30 from surgery I feel like I can become more serious about being active in these ways. The gym today was great, its always hard getting myself there but once I am I enjoy it. I love laying in the sauna relaxing afterwards too! My goal is less about weight-loss with the gym (thats what my diet is for) its is more about building lean muscle, losing inches and getting tighter. I know the skin will be an issue at the end regardless but I want more lean muscle

still going strong! Past 30 and spent 7 days hiking in Hawaii. Never could have done that before:)

That's awesome. Thanks for the motivation.

Super !! Where did you go hiking in Hawaii? I like hiking on Kauai on the Alaka'i Swamp trail, Nepali Coast trail and sleeping giant trail.

We stayed on the big island and hiked all over it. The best by far was a 12 hour overnight hike to and through the lava fields! I walked like john wayne the next day but it was more than worth it! I hope to visit the other island next time
