Hi everyone. This is my first post. I would like to encourage everyone to continue with your exercise as hard as you can. As u lose your body will move so much better. Please go slow and listen to your body but push yourself to do some things You will be so surprised when u see that u can!!

Well said! Thanks for the motivation. I also am a strong believer in realizing your body is truly capable of great things. It is your mind that acts as a speed bump when not properly aligned with goals. It is also the attachment of emotion to those goals that will elevate your achievements. All things are possible.

Only 1 more week? Awesome! What are your plans when you finish?

I think I'll keep running or wogging as I like to call it... I'm looking for a 5k, probably won't find one in Denver anytime soon, but I work for an airline, so I'm considering flying somewhere participate in one. I'm having my panniculectomy and hernia repair on Nov 5, so that will slow me down for a bit. But I will have finished C w25k by then. Yay!

I'm 4 weeks post TT surgery in a couple days. So that means I'm 4 weeks away from my return to running. Shooting for a 5k December 22. It's a santa trot where everyone dresses up like santa. Should be a hoot.

Yeah....I've heard that lower body lift makes things alot more difficult. Don't hurt yourself. Eventually things will heal.

The 5K I ran today was amazing. The weather was beautiful and the race seemed to go downhill the whole way. I set a PR of 35:30. My former PR for a race was 38:45. The first 5K I ever ran was 45:00. Next race is a 10K in November. Hoping to run it in less than 1hr15min.

Treadmill running is not really my friend, but this is WY and outdoor running will be a thing of the past all too soon.

So, I tried it today. Ran 42 minutes straight!

Ran 51.08 minutes (with a 5 minute warm-up and another 5 minute cool down). 3.19 miles and 156 floors climbed.

This is the longest time running ever! I never slowed down? Until cool down. (kind of disappointed I couldn't go that next .28 to reach the 5k at a run, but tomorrow is another day).

I started at 3.8mph, advanced to 4.0, then 4.2 and kept it steady there. Started at 1.5% incline, backed it off at 37 minutes to 1.0, then .5, then 0 for the last minute of the run.

It's all a mind game, and it has always beaten me, but dang it, the time is coming when I will be winning!!! lol!

Sorry for the long post, I'm just really excited!

I just completed week 5 day 3. I can't believe I just ran for 20 minutes straight. I was slow as molasses but I still can't stop smiling.

      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?
