[**IP~LB** 279]

Hey Guys,

I just wanted to share a great day for me today. I had my surgery in December and have lost 50 lbs. I decided to enter a CrossFit competition today. It was tough with all these amazing athletes and over 1,000 spectators but I walked out proud and did it.

I am 232.5 pounds now......I still have a ways to go, but I am on my way!

Thank you all for all the support and great postings

Hey IP,

I just showed my husband your video. He is so happy for you/me. He has been wanting me to get healthy and active for so long. Since I spoke to you last week I did join the crossfit up here!!

Jim is going to start coming with me so we can do things as a couple. It has been so long since we were active together, I never wanted to leave the house!

Again, Kudos!

Hey IP,

I was talking with my hubby last night and I decided as a goal I would like to enter a CrossFit competition, you have inspired me to much!!! I was googling some and I noticed in Florida they are having one this summer that is team. Jim's parents live in Delray Beach, sooooo I was thinking would you want to get a team together with me?? Please let me know and I will register all of us!!

Again, thank you. We can do our weight loss together being we are only one day apart in our surgeries!! Plus you are killing it weight wise, you are a good mentor!
