Walked 7.2 miles yesterday. Down almost 70 pounds.



Recommended Posts

I have been walking everyday for the past 3 weeks. I have the pedometer + app on the iPhone. Its been a constant push to beat my last score ( I consider it a game). Yesterday I decided after work I would walk to my brothers for the first time. He lives 1.3 miles away. I walked there and then decided ok I can easily walk back. Once I got home I decided to keep going. At a certain point a realized I was approaching a 10K and then kept going.

These last 4.5 months have been an adventure. Honestly I am having the time of my life. Still have plenty of weight to lose but am completely determined. Its no longer about the weight but about getting in the best shape possible.

Have a great weekend everyone!!!!

Wow, 7.2 miles is awesome! I'm up the 3.5 miles on treadmill at the gym for the 60 minute dally routine.... I used to walk three miles through the woods with my old lab. Too many ticks and the paths aren't maintained these days.

Keep it up. I've always felt walking was the best exercise and something that everyone can do. I lost a lot of weight several years by just walking, but it always came back. The band made the difference.

Keep it up!

      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.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
