So excited -- I can't remember how long it's been since I got on the scale and the first number was a 1. Except that one time 5 years ago when it was off balance, but I knew it was a mistake.

And today I did a 30 minute run! First one since I blew my knee out a year ago (on a run...)! I will be ready for that 10-K in 3 months!!!

congratulations! the best feeling in the world

Congratulations! You have exactly the same stats as me except I am not sure of your age! When did you have surgery. I am particularly excited to start running again. What was your BMI when you started running after surgery? I feel like I should get down to 210 or so or I might hurt myself.

whooohoooo!! Congratulations! That is the best feeling in the world! At least it was for me!! HAahahaha! Keep up the hard work!!

@@Bndtoslv, I am 53. I started running in January 2011 at 230 lbs (BMI about 36 I guess). Got down to 211 after training for and running a half marathon, but couldn't maintain that weight. Kept running just because I enjoy it. Last year tore my medial meniscus and had to wait 4 months before they would do surgery. I was just about the same BMI (236) postop when I started training again, but started walking first, then did couch to 5K. I am now working with a trainer who knows how much I enjoy running, so he has some major leg strengthening in the program and then he has me do some speed work on the treadmill in between exercises.

EXCELLENT JOB! ONEDERLAND is an amazing place.
