Mindy....I can't wait until you're over that...I bet it makes DH (so weird to call him that) proud to see you moving. I know my "DB" (that's even weirder) feels that way!

Well, I already confirmed with "DB"--we're starting week two together tonight. I gave him advanced warning yesterday so that he'll be prepared. I dont' know though--he's really struggling with the same thing you and everyone else in CenTex is--the cedar is off the charts and the boy just CAN'T breathe!

Hi all.

Well, I hate to even say it, but with my foot the way it is, having surgery and all, I jsut cannot run at the weight I am now. Maybe when I get to around 180 I will try again. The doc said I will always have trouble and he is right. I absolutely HATE to admit defeat! I am still working out religiously with my elliptical and pilates, so I am still getting in activity.

Good luck to all, and I hope in a few months Iwill be able to try again.

I dunno if he's proud or not . Im sure he is , it just means the faster he gets to see the new tatas ! LOL

My allergies are killing, they just started. I thought my nose was running at lunch cause i was full , i guess it was this damn cedar in this town !

Hey there fellow C25Kers. Hope everyone is well. Got in another 30 minutes today. The pace was slower because my feet were killing me. When I am in Austin for the 5K with Mindy I plan on heading out to one of the running stores for some new shoes. I love tennis shoes and can't wait for a proper fitting. I did one about 5 year s ago and there is nothing like it.

Sorry to hear cedar is causing so many of you and your loved ones problems. My sister has suffered for years and she has finally just moved to West Virginia. OK - she had a few more reasons, but her allergies are way better up there. Hope it passes for all of you soon.

ROFLMAO I felt like that when i went into Run Tex to get my shoes. There were lots of thin people in there and i felt like they were like ' what the hell are youdoing in here " Then i told them " Yeah i have lost 60 lbs so i need knew shoes" I got some respect after that LMAO

Didnt tell them HOW But they just assumed . So I shut up LMAO

The people in there were really nice to me . One Runner even heard me say I run at a slow pace, he told me " I have been running for 4 yrs i run with a guy who slows me down because he runs at a slow pace , but you know what he can run ALL DAY LONG at that pace, so faster is not always better , keep it up " I thought that was kind of nice of him.

Good morning all. Off topic but hopefully funny for you, too.

OK- I am LOL at the the way that Wombat shortened Daddy's name. While I have no children, I am a fan of Madagascar - animated film staring Ben Stiler and Chris Rock. Seen it? There is a predator called a Foosa (sp?) Upon learning of this carnivorous neighbor, there is an exchange between two of the main characters: "He scared away the Foosa. A Whosa? No a Foosa."

So when I see Wombat's version of Whosyadaddy's name - I basically play out that scene in my mind. Then giggle out of control.

I am betting you are either laughing with me mow, or you are like my DH and you are thinking, "Ok - we got a crazy one here."

      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...

      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
