Hi everyone,

I haven't been focused lately and am trying to get myself back on track. Would love to hear from any other CT Lapbanders out there. How has everyone been doing? Hope to hear from someone in the same boat as I am. Take care everyone.

Thats great!! My energy just finally took a turn for the better. I started doing the strip tease workout and it WORKS!!! I am hurtin but feeling great about it!! I also am psyched to get my new bike outside. I am going to start running as well. My goal is to be able to do the Tunnel To Towers Run in Sept. It's a 5K. :thumbup: Gotta have goals!!!

Renee sounds like an awesome run!!! I going to start to run on February 1st . I'll be honest I haven't tried since i lost my current weight the last time my butt Jiggled so bad it was embarrasing. So I set a goal for running .. I love the treadmill not a big fan of the eliptical trainer I can do 45 min on treadmill easy at 3.5 MPH so I figure to run I'll have to get up to at least 5.0 MPH !! How long have you been running?

Had a good time at the meeting on Wednesday night at Yale. It was a small group 3 post-op and one pre. It was nice to chat and put a face with people from the board. We should try and have a get together on the weekend or something like that and is not as formal. Any suggestions?

I havent started yet, but my husband runs so he is going to help out. I have the Couch to 5K saved, just waiting on the right time to start. My butt's a jiggla too!! The run isnt until September, so I have time. Even if I run some and walk some, finishing it will be enough for me :cool: That is awesome about the treadmill for you! Elliptical is HARD lol, I can do like 15-20 min before i feel like I might die LOL :regular_smile:
