Kathy, it sounds like you may have a running buddy. There's nothing like someone standing along side you pushing and encouraging you to go farther. Good luck to both of you.

I tried something different today. I figured I have progressed enough that I could try running with the dog. So I took her out with me and we ran at a slow pace and I slowed to a walk every few minutes for her. I think she liked it, but it wore her out. She never ran full out, kind of a light jog and I had to encourage her along. But she also didn't stop and pull away, she kept pace and we went for about 30 min, which most was at a run. So I think I have a C25k dog! LOL. I was supposed to rest today, but its so nice outside that I just wanted to go running!

LOL Whosya, not kicking your a$$ anymore. I better get with it. I knew you'd be checking in so I thought I better behave at least a little. Looks like you are ahead of me know, but never fear girls, I will catch up. Just for you!! :)

Ooooo....this should be interesting. Both of you rock!! A little friendly competition is always motivating.

BTW, I'm sooo jealous! I want the nike+ system bad. I don't want to waste my shoes though. They are still in good shape. The next ones I buy will be for the nike+ system though. I'm thinking Christmas will be the perfect time....

Hey guys! It's been a while since I've been on this thread. I kind of wimped out over the summer, but I'm training again. I've dropped my time by 6 minutes, it's still not great, but I'm getting better. I'm running at least 5 days a week now, along with lifting weights and one day of yoga. I feel like I'm really improving which is making me want to do more. I hope to start doing 5K after the first of the year. I've got a lot of work to do to catch up with you guys, but you are all an inspiration! Thanks for the motivation!!

Glad to see you back Bea!! You are always welcome. Great job on the exercise regimen!!

Georgia, I can't wait for you to get a Nike+. We will have so much fun doing the challenges. Don't you wish we could trade those bodybuggs we bought together in on Nike+ now. It seems we have both changed our focus to moving!!!!! How cool is that!!

You can get a sys plus the pouch for $30 on ebay. I do have a spare shoe sensor if you want it.

      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
