Onedaycloser, I started Couch to 5K training four weeks ago. I ran/walked a 5k in 30 minutes this weekend! Let me tell you, with my history of bad knees I NEVER thought this could happen. I love the surprises in this journey!

WOW you look terRIFic! Congratulations! I am so envious!

I also have bad knees, and I haven't even considered running. What made you decide it was worth a try? I'm afraid of my worse one giving way, and then I'd fall, get all banged up, maybe even hurt the knee more. Any words of wisdom?

JeanZ, I was bored with walking and I LOVE being outside. Plus my dog was getting fat!! I looked at a couch to 5K program and saw the first week was only running for 60 seconds at a time. I promised myself I would give it two weeks and see how it went. Just try it. If it's not for you, then no harm done. It's about getting out there and having a sense if adventure!! Go as slow as you need to!

I am super impressed with you and you are my new (s)hero..... I have been contemplating c25k and honestly it seems daunting. I'm still really overweight. Although, I can walk a couple miles with no problem, I worry my joints will rebel! But you have given me some motivation.

Awwww.. That's a first! A shero! Remember you can do week one more than once. Just move at your own pace. There's a Zombies! Run! App that takes you through a story if a zombie apocalypse as you do the c25k. I might switch to that one. Sounds fun!

Hot Damn lady...you look gorgeous! But even cooler than your looks is the fact that you just completed a 5k! You must be so amazed and proud of yourself. That is one of my deepest desires...to be the hot mamma who is jogging through the park on a regular basis. You are inspirational!

      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!!

        So proud of you Cat. Getting into those smaller size clothes is half the fun isn't it?. Keep up the good work!!!!

      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?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
