I have not been able to get myself to run. I am doing good to walk fast. I get all red in the face and breath really hard. But I am doing it. I just havent gotten the gumpson to run yet.

Cerrin...you got to try the Couch to 5K program!

It gets you running incredibly well.

Whosaydaddy...that is AWESOME!! Congratulations!! Is a half or full marathon in your future? I did the Nike Women's Marathon is San Fran in October.....all 240lbs of me!! Now that I'm banded and losing weight, I can't imagine how great the next one will be. I start training in April. Keep it up....that is a HUGE accomplishment!!

OK how far is a half Marathon? (i dont say half the distance of a full Marathon as i dont know that either) :mad:

Thanks btw!

marathinner · February 12, 2008

A half-marathon is 13.1 miles and full marathon is 26.2 miles. I know.....CRAZY! I trained for 7 months and walk/trotted the whole way. But I finished!!I trained with a program called Team in Training which is part of the Leukemia/Lymphoma society. Incredible organization...they provide everything you need to train for and complete an event. If you can do a 10K, you CAN definitely do a half-marathon. Keep up the good work!!

wow thanks! Good for you!!!!

26 miles...my gosh....

Ive done 10 miles in high school b4 but i walked alot of it. I think ill do some more 10K's and then do some 10miles and work up from there.

Thanks for the info! Sorrry to take over the thread.

BigM message me sometime i need to have someone with experaince to ask questions.

Just a couple for me:

1-Last May DW's cousin was getting married in IL. I tried on almost all of the clothes in my closet to find something to wear to both the rehearsal and the wedding. Nothing fit, way to small. Had to go out and buy new clothes for both. Last month I tried on all those clothes that didn't fit. I had to get rid of all of them because they are way too big.

2-Jeans have gone from size 48 to 44 with pleating (sp) from the belt being too tight.

3-had measurements done at the gym. Bf% has gone from almost 31% to 19% and lost almost 40 inches off my body.

My best NSV was today. I left my jackets last night, and didn't have one to wear this morning. My husband threw me his (which has always barely gotten around my shoulders) and it fit PERFECTLY. I told him he never gets it back!

whosyadaddy · February 13, 2008

Jennie! That was a nice little Valtines NSV! Thanks!

CereDAd !!! Way to go !!!! I just throw out some suits this weekend that were way too big.

Well took them to GoodWill.

I have been packing away all my clothes to give away. Not one item is left except socks!! I bought 2 pairs of size 14p pants last month- now they are too loose after a couple of hours. 2 new pair of size 12p are perfect (for now!) my goal is to be in a size 8 before the summer. I love this! Whenever I lost wt before I just packed up everything because I knew I'd need them again- not anymore. Out they go:thumbup:
