I'm able to do something I have always wanted to do



Recommended Posts

Hi everyone. I have always wanted to do the 3 day breast cancer walk, but because I was so big I knew that I would never be able to complete it. Well...this is a new year. I have committed to completing the 60 mile walk. I have lost almost 80 pounds and I know that I can do it. My aunt is a breast cancer survivor so it makes me even more excited to take on this committment. I will be doing the walk in Washington DC in October. I am in the beginning stages of raising money (I have to raise at least $2,200). If anyone is interested in donating on my behalf, you can do so through my site at: Welcome to the Washington DC Breast Cancer 3-Day:

Also, if you are in my area and are interesting in joining me for training walks, let me know!!! My personal goal is to be at my "weight loss goal" by the time of the walk. Wish me luck!!!!

Thanks for the replies. Of course I'm worried about it, but I'm starting my training tomorrow. I have to get some really good shoes. I just can't wait. I'm also curious to see what my weight is at the time of the walk. As of yesterday morning, I finally hit a 80 pound loss. I want to hit 100 pounds by my one year anniversary and who knows where I'll be come October. Thanks for the well wishes!!!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
