Congratulations - you look great! You're a great inspiration for my goal next year - thanks for this post!

At my office for the last 4 years I've organized my MS150 bike team. (180 miles on a bike from Houston to Austin, over a 2-day period). THIS year I'm going to let someone else organize because I'm registering to ride. I'm determined to be in shape for it next April!

I wanted to be the first to tell you that you look hot, but someone beat me to it. Congratulations! I have had an amazing journey as well. While my knee arthritis might not go for a 5K, I might be able to walk you to death:laugh:! I added walking to my trips to Curves in January (on weekends as it was dark by the time I finished work). I walk in a park near where I live that has a 2 mile nature trail. When daylight savings arrived I began stopping each night on the way home, walking twice around. I am now losing daylight and can barely get around once, but will be instituting my backup plan--Water aerobics 2 days a week, Curves 3 days a week, the park on weekends. This past weekend I did 4 trips around both Saturday and Sunday, around 8 miles each day. Not bad for an old lady:thumbup:! I don't walk particularly fast, and I carry peanuts for the squirrels (a little passive weight lifting). They love to see me coming. I shake the bag and they come running. I even met a chipmunk (named him/her Chuckie) that comes to the same spot and I save the single peanuts for him/her. Chuckie stuffs one in each cheek and another in the mouth and runs off to stash them. About 2 minutes later, back again for more. I am a cheap date; they entertain me and make my walk more pleasant. I also meet lots of dogs (some who like peanuts too).

Keep up the good work.:wub:

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      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

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
