Today is the day!!!! I may end up walking but I am going to try to run. I have a pinched nerve in my neck and shoulder and am on meds but I am going to try. I did a practice 1 mile day before yesterday and it was brutal. But I will go slow and steady tonight. I will post how it goes either way!! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I got SOOO pissed at the hotel I was staying at today. The lunch dude told me I had to order off the main menu with no modifications. This is a 4 star resort in San Diego. At breakfast the waitress let me order 1 poached egg. At dinner the waitress let me order just a chicken breast. I chalk lunch up to a new employee. I do try and express to restaurants and hotels about bariatric needs so it helps for others In the future. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I had a medicine in pill form. Just take it pill form. None got stuck. I am not sure if efficacy was compromised as I stopped the meds a few weeks later. Good luck. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Thank you. I am a pretty even keel person and when I read my post back I teared up. Because I am proud I was so vulnerable and I am glad you found some encouragement in your journey. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Holy shit!! 10:12??? Amazing!! And here I was about to post how excited I was to hit 11:29! I finally felt OK to run again after a week off for injury. I am in la jolla ca for business and just did an epic excursion and I am super proud of myself. I did 1.75 miles on a trail running at a 11:30 or so pace. Turned around and did a walking excursion trail out to a scenic view for about 1 mile out and 1 mile back. Then ran another mile after a mile walk. My hip and knee hurt a bit from the trail so I didn't want to push it. But I feel amazing and so proud of myself!!! I forgot that if I went down I had to walk back up!! But I did it! I never could have before! Also (this has nothing to do with running but I also feel super proud of this) after the run I went to the jacuzzi in a bathing suit to soothe my legs and sat there and talked to a guy for 45 minutes. IN A BATHINGSUIT!! I rock. Hahaha The 5 k is next week. Wish me luck!! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

My dr also did not put me back on. I was on meds for 7 years. I had surgery March 1 2016 so about 6 months. My blood pressure is normal now!! I feel great and I hope u have the same results!! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Hello Everyone! We are officially into week 1 and I hope each and every one of you is working your way towards your goal! Here are the official starting stats: 1. We have 69 participants this round 2. 6 have missing weights 3. At the start, collectively we weigh 13,920.5 lbs (6,314.2 kg) 4. At the end, we want to weigh 13,305.8 lbs (6035.4 kg) 5. That is a total weight loss of 614.7 lbs (278.8 kg) 6. The average weight loss goal across everyone is 6.7 lbs for the 5 weeks (This includes those logged at 0.0 due to missing values so it may actually be closer to 7-8 lbs) I will be away wed - sat for a trip and will try and keep up - but I may not be able to log this week's stats until Sunday. The following participants are missing their starting values. If you are listed and do not provide your last week and this week values, you will be removed @@losingtheselumps @@Loudy227 @@MarciaN @@missruthy @@prettyapril @@Unbridled Have a happy and productive week everyone! goplay
