Starting this thread so others can follow suit... to share just one moment of joyous success on their journey.

Here's mine :

Ran my first 5K run in over 20 years. I made it in 37:49. SO SHOCKED and most thrilled with myself. I used to run but got out of the mode with kids, etc....

:thumbup:YEAH !! for me. I am so ever pleased with myself.:tounge_smile:

That is SO awesome! I plan on doing a 5k when I lose a little more weight... I think that's SO cool!

Congratulations! That is fantastic.

When I started exercising on my bike 2 months ago I could only do 10 minutes and about 2 miles. I am now up to 30 minutes and 9 miles. I feel so good about that.

At our support group the other night a leader brought up about "AHA Moments" and did we notice them. I had one just that day ... I was walking and my shoe became untied. I was actually able to bend over and tie it without being winded or feeling like I was going to topple over at any minute. Let me tell you that was an accomplishment though small and taken for granted when I was thinner. I am so happy with my LAP-BAND.

Here's to a successful and thinner New Year for all!
