Recommended Posts

W6d2 was hard! I had to run slow for the last interval. But I did it! This is when the rubber hits the road and each day just gets harder. I remember it from before. I will do it. Sheer determination. Friday I will be 2/3 of the way there.

Keep it up Mistysj. Your a winner!!

I'm just getting ready to do w3d1 today after kids go to school. It has taken me forever to get here, I still have my hernia... Getting fixed soon so I'm going slow. Not sure if I can run 3 minutes, but we will see. My weight loss has really slowed, guess with all my exercising I need to up my good calories...I will report in later!

Finished W8D2 today (28min run). It felt good and I wasn't struggling to finish it. Looking forward to finishing the program, but I don't run fast enough to finish a 5K in 30 min so my plan is to add about 3 min a week until I'm up to 40 min. My next 5K is Oct 5 at Disney. Looking for a race to run in November and December to keep me motivated.

What races have you all signed up for?

Ok, I did it! W3D1..I really didn't think I could run the minutes but I did! Then I actually did the treadmill for an additional 30 minutes, ten of those on the highest incline... I don't think I will be sitting anytime soon... My butt muscles are killing me!

Well, to liven things up. I'm finished C25K a while back, but I'm giving myself a new challenge starting tomorrow. 100 miles in 30 days. By far the most I've ever done....here goes.

Wow that is impressive, Butter!

I finished W6D3 today! A 15-minute run, 5 minute walk, then 5 minute run at the end. Wow!

W7D1 is a 20-minute run, straight!

You'll do it. You don't sound like a quitter (is that an actual word?) to me. Run on!

I finished my 2.0 mile run this am. Thank you God! On to my Labor Day 5K. Last one I did in 49 min so my goal this time is 45 min. Slow but steady says the turtle. ;-)

      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
