I f(#*@)(# did it! All four miles! It took about 48 minutes which is about a 12 minute mile. WE took only one 1-minute break at the 2 mile mark for Water. It was by FAR one of the best things I have ever done in my life. My friend's husband got pics of us running and I will try and upload tomorrow.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Karen / Whos I have a question for you 2. I just started running (Sunday - lol), and I really think I can ramp up (use to play college soccer). The question I have, did your weightloss really kick in once you started? I'm not sure if it's my 3rd fill or the daily running now, but it's starting to clip off. Not complaining, cause I'll just run till I can't anylonger, was just interested in the weightloss once adding running into the mix vs the bike / eliptical / etc. I was doing everything but run, and once I have - WOW.

Appreciate your feedback,

Lulu

oh yes i definately ramped up! I read that if you run 3 times a week for 30 mins you will drop 1-2 pounds a week without even changing your diet!!!

Keep at it lulu!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
