NSV FOR A COUPLE OF US

OUR FIRST 5K....YEAHHHHHHH

LSasha, Karen, my child and myself participated in a 5K PowerWalk for Diabetes Saturday.

It was a great sense of accomplisment to walk in an official 5K. Although we are currently walking at least 3 miles most days of the week, it was something special to do it for a cause.

I plan on looking for more 5K's in the area. Crystalstar wants to start training for bigger walks like a 10K uhhhhh ok.

Hi, everyone! Teresita was kind enough to invite me to this forum... my name is Dawn and I was banded 2 weeks ago, May 9th, in Mexico. I don't live in MD but I live in No. VA, right off the beltway and 95, so I'm close enough!

So far I have lost 25 lbs - really 10 pre surgery (I had strep throat the week before surgery and only drank tea) and 15 since. I joined a yoga class tonight and have really been wanting to do more walking.

I had my first NSV today, first off I was able to wear a size 18/20 Lane Bryant button p shirt today, something I haven't been able to do in 3 years... then when I went to work a co-worker of mine who I have not seen in a month stopped dead in her tracks when she saw me and said "OH MY GOD...how much weight have you lost? Your face looks so thin!"... I could have kissed her.

I will be going to Connie's house on Sunday, so I am really looking forward to meeting everyone and making new friends...band sisters...

Have a great rest of the week...Dawn

At present I have a short term goal of getting below 90kg. That will be HUGE for me. I've already lost way more than I ever dieted off in the past but I've weighed in the 90's a million times in the last few years. When I see 89 I'm going to jump for joy.

My longer term goal is still 75kg although I know I'll want to go lower when I get there, we'll just see how much effort that is going to take. If its not realistic I can let it go.

At present though I'm very focussed on improving my running performance - increasing both speed and distance.

Welcome Dawn!

I work in Springfield, so I am right around the corner. Do you work in the area too? Maybe we can walk at lunch or something.

My NSV is that I at 2 whole pork chops and thought I was going to burst last night.

OK no that is not a good one. I wore a pair of 3 inch heels for several hours this week. I have not been able to wear heels since I broke my ankle because there was just too much weight on them. Now that I have lost 71 pounds, my ankle don't hurt with them on.
