If someone would have told me a year ago that I would be running, I would have laughed at them. LOL!! I twisted my knee running last Tuesday so I took the rest of the week off. I honestly didn't know if I was going to be able to run at all on Saturday but I did it!! Not only did I do it, I ran my fastest 5K time ever. Yay me!! Even though the scale and I are not friends right now, I feel good and I am so proud of myself. I have been challenged to run a half marathon in Sept. (I must be crazy). I have a lot of work to do. Game on!! :)

Wonderful! Congratulations! Running my first 5K I think was even more fulfilling and exciting than running my first 1/2 marathon. I guess mainly because it was the first realization I had that I could do something athletic and push my body further than I ever thought I could. Good luck on your 1/2 marathon.Just stick with a good training plan and you'll do great!

That's awesome. Way to go! I had surgery last month and plan to run one in December. I want to give myself time to lose some weight and get in shape in general. I've never even run a mile in my life but often wished I was more of a runner.

You look great! What an awesome accomplishment for you. Be proud!! I feel the same way about no way in hell can I do it now, but that is my goal. I can walk a 5K, but I want to RUN one!!

Congrats!! Way to keep on keeping on in spite of you injury. That's the sign of being committed.

I am running my first 5k on April 9th. I have walked several, but this one will be the final workout of my C25K plan! I am thinking I should be able to run at least 80% of that distance. I am really slow so 30 minutes of running isn't going to quite get me to the finish line.

Congrats again and keep it up!

      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?

      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
