I love it! Dean- you've started a mini c25k revolution right here!

Tonight is a run night for me (W5, D2) and I guess that puts me at almost half way... whoa! Now if I can just coax myself outside to try things out on the road instead of the treadmill. Maybe this weekend I'll give it a go if my monkey stays with grandma.

Ok, I've always said to my friends, "if I'm running or cross country skiing, call the police because someone is chasing me!" But after reading this thread I actually read up on the app...haven't downloaded yet, but think I will...

Dean I don't like you.... I just reread this thread today and, well, I feel like I missed out and now I'm jealous. I downloaded the app just now. But I don't know if I can even do it! I don't run, I have never run! Do you guys do this outside I mean I don't own a treadmill and I am embarrassed to even try it at the gym. Come to think of it, I'm scared to try it outside too! :(

At my psych eval, he said those who suceed with weightloss surgery, past the first year, have developed an excersice component. So bought a nice (not the cheapest or most expensive) treadmill the week before surgery. Walked a little during the 6 weeks recovery. PA said to bust loose with exercise after that! Had taped the C25K calendar (off of pinterest) to the treadmill. Perfect timing when Dean posted! Too much of an introvert to run outside yet. I am still awkward so repeating the first week! Everyday is better and stronger, what more could I wish for!

Don't be a poo head. Get outside and put one foot in front of the other, rinse and repeat. Do I have to do everything around here? :D

I hate walking on the treadmill but am thinking of the 5 K training that the nut does at my surgeons's office. Signed the release but she isn't in today, and I got the ok from the surgeon that replaced my knee two years ago. Have lost 49 pounds but I'm not at goal yet. HUMMMMM!! What to do!!

Thanks, but I can't take credit for that. It was a pretty innocuous first post really :)

Obviously what's had the impact is the collective enthusiasm from everyone - it's very cool!!

Have a go on the road. Treadmills are great for the purpose they serve, but really, the joy of fresh air and pavement .........

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.

      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!!
