Today is swim day. I was out there for 90 min and got in 2100! I think that's the most I've ever swam.

Great job MacMadame!:smile2: No way I could swim that far. I still tend to sink rather than float. Just not meant for Water sports I guess.:sneaky:

As for me, got up to fitness ctr @ work yesterday. Both good treadmills were taken at first. Hopped on elliptical for 19 minutes until one opened up. Then, hopped on a treadmill and did 1.5 miles in 12:39 followed by 5 min. cooldown.

This morning, did 2.5 miles on treadmill in 23:30 @ .5% incl. followed by 10 min. cooldown. This afternoon will upper body and a little more cardio.

Keep up the great work everybody!

So......when's the pool party for LBT? That all sounds really good. If you have an outdoor TV, you may just have a "houseguest" from Sept. through Feb. (hopefully):smile2:

Today we did a bike ride. I was so slow I got back after dark which is against the rules. Oops.

But I did 22.5 miles. Too bad it took me 2 hours!

I am going to take you up on that offer one of these days. Maybe come down for a Gnats/Cowboys game so I can cheer the 'Boys on with a real fan and make fun of his wife when she shows her true colors.:blink:

Too tired and had a function for DD's school last night. No workout last night. I'll make it up tonight. This morning, ran 3 miles in 30 min. @ .5%/1%/0 incl.

Did you catch "Build it Bigger" last night on Science Channel. Show was on the Cowboys new stadium. I'm sure you've driven by in a couple times (or should have by now), but that show just made me want to pay the big $$$$ to get down this year. Place is PHE-NOM-E-NAL :crying::tt1:

i get wkly updates from DH who passes by frequently.

they are going to have to do something about the ticket prices however - just not realistic in this economy to shell out $2500 for a family of 4 for a single cowboy game.

jerry jones has built a LOT Of corp suites - and they are still not all taken.

i believe DH records the science channel on tivo - i'll have to go look at it .... it will be a beautiful stadium, home opener is against the gnats:)

today - just called my neighbor, and plan on a slow walk. it's SO nice out this am - and i just need to move. will also do my weight training routine when i get back.

Have to agree with you on the ticket prices. They even mentioned that a couple of times. It is on again at 4 pm this afternoon if he didn't tivo it.

And, it's good to see you calling that NY team by it's real name.:crying:

      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

      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! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
