daisychains7 427 Posted April 22, 2013 I finished my first 5k this past weekend! The race was for Challenge Obesity and it was cool to run alongside other runners who had lost 100+ lbs. Crazy to think that 1 1/2 years ago I couldn't even walk 2 blocks without being completely winded. I'm so grateful for my health and just wanted to share. 24 elcee, Karen85, B-52 and 21 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
B-52 7,113 Posted April 22, 2013 That's fantastic.....I'm in the same boat as you.... a little over 2 years ago I was out of breath carrying groceries into the house... The lap Band is GREAT!!!!! And IT WORKS! (it's 5 am and I'm off to the gym to do my daily running) 3 bubba831, marlena_marie and Bubie1916 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
