Recommended Posts

So I just downloaded an android app and I am going to start this program tomorrow, I just have to get over the idea that everyone will be staring at the big girl running at the Y! Wish me luck.

Just finished this program yesterday. I ran a 5k thanksgiving morning! Icpromise if you stick with it you can do it!!! This is coming from a girl who mever ran a day in her life and couldnt even walk a 5k much less run. I pushed myself. U gotta vary it up. Sometimes I ran in gym or in garage on treadmill but also outside. I liked the outdoors cause it felt different and made run go by quick. Running has changed my body and I'm gone stick with it. Lost 12lbs and went down dress size with c25k

So I did w1d1 today and then my normal circiut on the weight machienes, all I can say is ouch. My droid died so I did it without music and without that cool app that tells me when to walk and when to run. I did ok, it was a challenge, but I still did it. I thought I'd do better, I can go all out on the elliptical for an hour but running for 60 seconds about killed me. Hopefully this will help me lose some more weight, i'm very close to onederland and I just can't seem to get there so hopefully this will help. I'm going to do my next workout Sat. Morning. Good luck all.

I posted back in September that I started C25K but I couldn't get through W1D1.

I re-started it last week and I am so proud to say that I did so well. I am so pumped.

Today I did wk 2 day 1 and I am so proud of myself. It just takes a little pushing and motivating yourself.

I'm doing it on my treadmill and I am just elated with myself. I hope I keep it up .

I would love to sign up for a future 5k but I'm gonna give myself some time .

Hi all! I started C25K last summer, and made it to week 8 (though it took me longer than 8 weeks to get there), then I got really busy (I got married) and slacked off a bit. I recently signed up for a 5K and started working through the weeks again -- next up is W5D3. The 5K is nearly 8 weeks away, so I'm feeling pretty confident that I'll be ready... I guess we'll see!

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
