I am officially starting police academy on May 12th. :blushing: I have wanted to do this for the past several years, but always felt I was too big. I am now in excellent shape, am running 2 miles every other day, and look good in a uniform. LOL

I have to thank the band for this. I have made many unsuccessful attempts at losing weight before this. This FINALLY made it possible. I am SO excited.

Way to go you two!

Steph, was this what you were hinting at the other day, that you wouldn't tell anyone until you were sure?

I love hearing this kind of news! It's very exciting to hear all these positive changes in everyone

Yes...this is what I was hinting at. I kind of have a bad history of saying I'm going to do something when it comes to my career and chickening out. I have no idea why that is. LOL But I am on my way and incredibly excited!

WTG, Wendy! It's amazing how much courage a little weight loss can give a person.

That's great! You're the kind of person who should be in a commercial for the Lap Band -- look how it has changed your life for the better!

Best of luck to you!

LOL, Bandpal! hahaha...that made my night.

Thank you Linda, Wendy, Sades, Kendra and Bandpal. :) I am super excited. I wish it were here, already. I hate waiting.

Kendra - You're not kidding about life changing. I'm wondering if I should add the 180 useless pounds that is my husband to my ticker when I lose that, as well.

Anywho...I ran the full 30 mins today...it looks like I may just survive the Couch to 5K!!! I only went 2.25 miles, but I know I'll work up past that. Now I just have to work on my push-ups and sit-ups so I don't embarrass myself at the academy. LOL

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
