Snowgator! Congratulations on your 5k training. 5k's are my thing! Last year my goal was to run 12 of them (my thinking was one for each month...) I didn't make my goal, but I still had a great time trying. I did the couch to 5k program a couple years ago. If you go to Podrunner.com he has a great program. I recently restarted the program in attempt at a better time. You will do fantastic! Enjoy yourself and again congrats. ALOHA to all my other Banditos! Sorry, i dont get on here much, but you are always in my thoughts on this journey!

Hey Chicka! You are the glue that holds us all together, I think about YOU all of the time. Thanks for everything Dee! Hubby is silly as usual the kidlings are doing well. I did the C25K program and loved, loved, loved it! Search Podrunner, it is free. There is also a Couch to 5k group here on LBT, they are great support and helpful tips. I think it's come join me...couch to 5k??? I still use the C25K program when I run. I ran the Susan G Komen again this year, it was amazing. I thought of your friend that you lost last year and wondered how her family is holding up. I always come away from that 5k feeling good about myself. Both boys ran with me this year and Hubby waited at the finish. My next 5k is the Gorilla Run (save the Gorillas!). Everyone runs in a Gorilla suit, sounds fun huh?

ALOHA Banditos! Im still alive and fightin the fight! Patty thanks for the PM!

Just poppin in to wish everyone a great weekend! Even though my scale refuses to move (I put it away while ago, but I can feel the "no change"), I am happy with the changes my band has given me. I am able to do many things that I once only thought and dreamed about. Running 5k's, Roller Blading, Tennis, Bicycling even skateboarding! Thank You Dr. K!!! Now if I can get these last 50~ish pounds off, who knows what I'll try next! cheers!

DOGS RULE cats drool!!! hehe, and yes I am four. Tucker is the Bionic Million Dollar Dog and Buster is his side kick. MUNCHIE'S Back! YAY! Nice to have you back. I too have been MIA. I am counting the days 'til my next fill. I want the restriction that Lapdancer has. It's Friday and I am celebrating my 22 year anniversary. I can't believe how quick the years have flown by. My best friend, my confidant, my savior (well, Buster is too), but my hubby IS my LOVE! Cheers to all!

Dee~I hate how other people invade our confidence and make us feel so bad. You are NOT ugly and you are NOT disgusting. You are as beautiful oustide as you are inside and I am fortunate to know you and be a part of your journey. You have literally worked your arse off, don't let the bastards get you down. You are someone that deserves Royal Treatment in this life, you are kind and thoughtful, considerate and ALWAYS here for everyone. I believe in you and I am proud of you! If I could go to Mexico with you , I would do it yesterday, maybe do a two for one!!! Hugs...

Ditto here gals! I have hidden my scale (again). trying to low carb it, awaiting my fill at the end of July. Whew, it has been a bumpy ride, battling the same few pounds FOREVER! Hang in there gals, we can do it! Off to the gym and then the spa for a steam and facial...ahhh! Cheers!

Mini~Happy Bandiversary! Thanks for posting your pictures, you look great!

Dee~You're going to NY? Are you going to visit your daughter? How does she like the school? I love your new avatar pic, you look great! Your post to Cassy is PERFECT, I wanna come live with you so you can kick my butt in gear. Your excercise, your eating, everything PERFECT! Congrats my friend!

HAPPY BANDIVERSARY! :wink:

YAY! BOOBIES! I have always wanted to run and thanks to my band, I can! I'm not very fast but I can do it without stopping and after I feel wonderful! The Undy 5000 was fun, my son joined me and hubby waited at the finish for me. awww! Dee, you can do it. I believe in you!

Ms Dee~You look fabulous! Congratulations, your hard work is paying off! Thanks for the naughty bananas! and what happened to the boobies on the dancing piano banana? hehe! Deb~How is your Hamstring? Give Tucker kisses! I hope all the newbies are adusting well to their new life and the oldies (smiles, cus were not old!) are working their bands. My new thing is running 5k's! I am shooting for 12 this year. This weekend I am running for Colon Cancer in BOXERS! How fun is that?! It's called The Undy 5000. Have a wonderful weekend! Cheers!

Mini~I'm so sorry to hear, my thoughts and prayers. How are you and your family holding up? My heart aches for you, please take care.

Hey there YOU! I am returning too after a very loooong absence. How are you? Is your tent set up for the summer? Not much new with me. I am trying to stick around here and post when I can. Hoep to hear from you soon! PEACE!
