Guys... (and Gals!)...

I can run. Like one of those fit people you see running on the side of the road. Except the fit part of course. But still I’m RUNNING. It’s been years. I knew I missed running, but the absolute feeling of accomplishment I have is insane! Now admittedly I can’t do it for very long, but I’m okay with that! Today I ran 2.12 miles in 30 minutes. Not impressive to normal joggers but for me that’s AMAZING.

I am having a very proud NSV and I hope everyone else is having a good night!

I think that is very impressive. YOU GO GIRL!! Right now (haven't had the surgery yet, hoping for around the first of the year) my goal is to walk around the block without wanting to drop like a fly. Stay strong and keep the good work.:)

we will cheer them on@ AggiG but I will also be on the sidelines . But I have to hope I'll be sounder-winded and be able make laps without having to stop, Until then I am in the "Drop like a Fly" contingent,with you. And since I have a bad ankle,that didn't get surgery I can get up on my toes to run, but I still will be the Frustr8 I can be, this I promise. At 72 you have choose your battles and choose them well. 😛💖😛

Congrats to you. I couldn't run 2 miles at all so it is quite an accomplishment.

That’s fantastic. Hoping once I’m able to walk more successfully I’ll be able to start running again. Good for you!

Me too! I love it! I missed it so much. I’m right where you are girl and hope to do a 5K soon! The weight has also melted off since surgery by taking on running. Congrats!

That is exciting and impressive!! Thanks for sharing your inspirational NSV!!! I can’t wait to feel healed enough to start C25K! Jogging/running and doing races is one of the things I’m most excited about on this journey!!

I'm so proud of you! My best friend runs 5-8 miles every day and I want to run with her sooo bad. Too heavy still, but I'm pushing my endurance on an elliptical stepper right now. I hope so much I will be able to put my footies on hard ground and run some day soon.

Congrat's to you. That is a great accomplishment. I hope to one day do the same but just walking still kills my back now. Will hopefully work up to it one day. Good luck to you on training for the 5K.

Thank you everyone! For those of you waiting on your surgery, it is SO worth it!

Being able to run and not being in pain (other than the soreness you get from just being active because holy f*** my thighs be BURNING) has done wonders for my sense of self. I am so energized and motivated by this accomplishment 😊

I am so happy for you! I remember when I was fit and used to go to the gym 4 days a week. I miss my fit self, but life got the better of me. Definitely take it slow. Before you know it, you will be running a 5K. Just remember that some days you feel amazing and can run so much, others you will just be exhausted and be like "f" this. It usually helped when I ate a carb before running. Congratulations!

      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
