My own little sleeve victory this week - running. Not the couch to 5k type, just running for the joy of chasing the dogs at the dog park. They and I thought it a hoot!
And then on Saturday at my son's end of season soccer semi-final, the goalie took a nasty boot to the face and blood went everywhere. As team manager I was able to sprint (well, my version of sprint) down the pitch and stem the flow with a tea towel, holler for time out and some medical care. The lad is a trooper and despite breaking the cartilage in his nose wanted to play on (though we didn't let him), and I was able to provide him with care and support in real team manager style. Last year I couldn't have run like that, and what I would have done would have left me breathless and speechless. It felt soooo good to be able to do what I should be able to do.
Now I might even give Lissa a "run for her money", so to speak, in the couch to 5k. Which of the apps are you using Lissa?

Hey all finished week 1 of the couch to 5k app and I am feeling great!!

I am 16/17 months out and am the same.
Regular periods every 24 days lasting about 3 days (some months really heavy sometimes really weak). I still have facial hair but it is less and takes longer to come back.
Have lost over 170 pounds and feel a whole lot better about everything.

Thank you all!
I am feeling much like I did almost 2 years ago, nervous, excited, scared...will let you all know how I am fairing on the flip side.

Thinking of you Aussiegirl.Hope it all went well.xx

Thank you all!

LOL 'couch2kk' and the 'aussiesleevers' - my two fav threads ...... worlds collide!

Great news Nikki!!! Sounds like you will be well prepared.
Thank you all for the well wishes, 4 more days and then I will be under the knife again...I will keep you all up to date with the recovery. I posted on Facebook that I was doing this and one of my friends said the sweetest thing and also the most true and I wanted to share with you all:
"Well Beautiful, there is nothing to fear. You aren't transforming anything but the most superficial part of you and you're only doing that because you want it to better match the real you that has and always will be, borderline perfect."
I am hoping at the end of this I finally see in the mirror what I know on the inside.

I had a nice loss this time! Down from 81.2 to 79.4 which puts me in the 70s! I'm lighter (just) than my wedding weight in 2002. I did Weight Watchers like crazy to get there that time. I did get about 10 kg lower than that in 2003 but wasn't able to maintain that. I am pleased about this loss because my losses were really slowing down for a few weeks. I want to lose as much as possible in the first 6 months, to take full advantage of the "honeymoon" period. I passed the 3-month mark last week.

Definitely a keeper The saddest thing is that he bats for the other team but is the closest thing I have found to a "soul mate"

Great news Nikki!!! Sounds like you will be well prepared.
