Thank y'all for the support. My heart was beating too fast for me to time my heart rate but I am sure it was at it's max. I think I remember seeing some sort of watch type thing somewhere that keeps up with your heart rate. Anyone know? I have a bodybugg, but to my knowledge it doesn't record that.

I was flipping throught the channels the other day and I stopped on Food Network. Diner, Drive-ins, and Dives was on and this man ordered a Quad burger. 4 Patties!! I nearly fainted! And he was a pretty small guy. It took him about 35 minutes to eat it. I also heard them say that they would do 5 patty burger upon request! :thumbup:

WHEW! I am tired! I just finished my first day of C25K and all I have to say is, "Man....I am out of shape"! I knew I was out of shape but I didn't know I was THAT out of shape. I am seriously seeing spots right now. I was a little disappointed in myself because I was only able to go for 12 minutes. Then I realized that this is the first time I have ever attempted to jog and I am really proud of myself for doing those 12 minutes. Well, 17 minutes if you count the warm up, lol. I think I am safe in saying that I will be repeating week 1 again before moving on to week 2. Kudos to all of you that have made it as far as you have! I didn't think it would be this hard but I feel really good now that I'm done, lol. I will attempt to do this again on Thursday. I hope everyone has a great day!

Yes, they do make triple whoppers....I ate one 2 days after my surgery. It was sooooo good since I was deprived from food for 2 whole days. Seriously, they do make them. I can't imagine anyone could eat it though. I don't think I could have eaten one even before my surgery...

BBK, those are some smokin hot pics! Your legs look a mile long in the picture of you standing up.

Big Macs? Sorry but those aren't enough for me. I prefer the triple whoppers. They are packed with protein, fat, carbs, dairy (cheese), and veggies (lettuce & tomato). If I order an apple pie, I've got all my food groups. It's genius!!! Bwaaaaaaaahhhhhhhaaaa :tongue_smilie:

Lunanoir~ Thanks. I will look for the old bay next time I go to the grocery store.

I am so bummed. Mother nature was not on my side tonight. It has rained, and rained, and rained. I really shouldn't be complaining because we need the rain but I was so excited about starting today. I ended up going to the gym and doing the elliptical for 30 minutes. I started to run on the treadmill there, but there were a lot of people there and I just didn't feel comfortable. So, I guess I will be starting tomorrow, which is okay. I guess I'll shoot for Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday. Renewed~ That's so strange. It seems like you shouldn't have lost muscle since you've been working out more. I dunno? I hope you find out what's going on though.

BBK.....lookin hot girl! You look beautiful and I love the dress!

LOL! I lucked out, there were no customers in there....thank goodness!

WTG Renewed! It's amazing how we cherish these little things that many people have never had to worry about. It makes the journey so special when things like that happen. Looks like the Couch to 5K is paying off!

I used to work at a local bank, not real busy most of the time. Well, I had lost a bunch of weight on Atkins and I was walking across the lobby, headed for the restroom and my skirt fell to the ground! Talk about embarrassed!!! Needless to say, I never wore that skirt again, lol!

B'fast~ low carb slim fast Lunch~ 1 ear fresh corn on the cob, lightly steamed with no cal butter spray Snack~ 2 deviled egg halves Dinner~ 10 popcorn shrimp, a kiwi Snack~ a nectarine and a few mixed nuts

I found SF rice pudding at my local grocer in individual containers. I can't remember what brand it was but it was really good. Very thick and filling. That reminds me...I need to get some more. It's great for night-time cravings.

Amanda~ I am going to use the track at a nearby elementary school. I don't have a treadmil. I do have a membership at the gym but I just don't feel comfortable doing it there. Maybe eventually I will though...

Armywife, would you post that recipe? It sounds DELISH! I tried making a tuna cake the other day and it didn't turn out so well. I bought some prepackaged crab cakes from Winn Dixie last week and all you have to do is bake them. They really didn't taste like they had that much crab in them though. It didn't stay together and had a mushy consistency. Lunanoir, I may try to make your recipe, but what is old bay? Is that the brand of crab meat you use?

Turler, glad you are back and hope you had a wonderful vacation! Helllloooooo LilMiss and everyone else...

Thanks NukeChik! I will check out ebay too and see what my best option will be. I'm excited to do the boxing. The tennis one worked my right arm to death, lol. I think boxing will be an even better workout since I'll be using both arms.

Thank you Turler! I will keep checking. It's probably going to be a few weeks before we can buy it anyway because we need to save up some more money first. The Wii itself was pretty pricey....

Leslie~ Let us know how it goes today! Hopefully a slight unfill will get you where you need to be. Bamboobabe~ Thank you! I really appreciate it.

We just got a Wii this past weekend. It came with the Wii sports and we've been playing them all weekend. Where did all of you get the Wii Fit part of it? Did ya'll order online or buy it from a store? Walmart doesn't have them, here where I live. I got a pretty good workout in my arms and legs from doing the Wii Sports (tennis, baseball, and bowling). I think we are going to try the boxing out tonight. I suspect that will be a pretty good workout.

They measured at the end of April and I had lost .50 cc, which they weren't very concerned about. At my last fill, I told her that I always lose my restriction after a week or so, so she measured again and I had lost .75 cc in a 2 month span. She refilled what I had lost and yet again, I had good restriction for about a week and now it's gone again. BBK, that's amazing about the dress! Girl, you are rockin! I agree with Shesmiles, you should post a pic of you in the dress....I would love to see it!

Thanks Leslie! I'm glad you are able to get an unfill. How much fluid is in your band?

Leslie~ The OTC will do an unfill without an appointment. I've never had to but Elizabeth said anytime you are too tight to come in and they will do an unfill. Sounds like you need one.

Thanks for the warm welcome everyone! Today is the big day. I will probably do it closer to dark though because it's hot as hades here in south Georgia. I'm excited though, bought a stop watch last night and can't wait to get started. We got a Wii over the weekend and we battled it out on tennis, baseball, and bowling. My arms, shoulders, and legs must have gotten a pretty good workout cause I'm sore. Ya'll are bringing back some fine memories. I used to throw down on some roller skates, lol. I could do some pretty sick flips too. I used to love gymnastics. Those were the good ol days. I can't wait to do some of those things again.
