It took 8 or 9 fills for me to hit the green zone. Be patient, it will come.

Mine gets tight when flying but that's about it. Enjoy!

My daughter has thyroid cancer too. Sending you hugs!!

Wishing you a speedy recovery!! Best wishes on your new life!

Ditto. It sucks.

Way to go Princess! Pucker up!

I want to jump out of a perfectly good airplane. I want to ride a horse on the beach with the love of my life (whoever that is). I want to run a 5k with Catfish. I want to look smokin' hot at my daughters wedding next October.

You're only a few weeks post-op. I'd stay off the scale for awhile, your body is still healing. Best wishes!

I started to get serious about exercise and walking about 4 weeks post-op in January 2013. I would get my iPod, blast some of my Treadmill Playlist tunes (Eminem, 50 Cent, Nelly, Pink and even Justin Bieber), find my focal point and start walking. At first I could only walk about 10-15 minutes before it felt like my legs were jelly, but it felt good and I felt like I was at least moving. I always covered the time/distance display because I didn't want to get caught up in the numbers at that point- I just wanted to sweat a little. About a month into this routine, I decided to start increasing the speed a little at a time. It was hard for my legs to keep up with the pace, but I did it. I finally got to the point where I felt strong enough to increase the speed to do a slow jog and only lasted about 2 minutes- MAX. The next day I did the same thing, but added 30 seconds. And just kept going until I found myself running on the treadmill on a regular basis. Say what?! I have NEVER enjoyed running, jogging or even sweating for that matter. But I started to crave this new feeling I got when I was running, a feeling I had never experienced before and find hard to explain. Last week while I was on the treadmill, I happened to look down and caught a glimpse of my feet moving beneath me and I became mesmerized. Although I have been on "Charlie" hundreds of times, I absolutely could not believe what I was seeing. Less than a year ago, I could hardly go up a flight of stairs without being winded and avoided multiple trips upstairs at all costs. I started to cry while I was looking down at my legs and feet gliding along at a nice pace, it looked so effortless at that moment. I'll never forget that day. Kelly Clarkson was in my ear telling me "No one can hold me back, I ain't got time for that." I took a little video on my phone to capture that moment when I really started to believe that I AM A RUNNER.

I sip my Pure Protein Frosty Chocolate ready-to-drink shake every morning while reading LBT.

I like the Old Navy compression shorts and capris. They keep your jiggly bits super tight, even when running. They are reasonably priced and have sales quite often.

You're stunning!

My goal is no less than 60g.

What's wrong friend?

Love this!! Thanks for sharing!

Happy Birthday!

I park my behind in front of the potty and wait. I can typically bring up whatever is stuck pretty quickly and then I move on. Live and learn, no biggie. Best wishes!

I hope not. I have one every morning for breakfast.

Yes!! That's major!

Oh how I wish I could answer this one!

Congrats! He's beautiful!!
