Ah, now that I can understand. Already I feel like my chest has kind of deflated and I need some kind of magic, anti-gravity bra! LOL. My sister in law lost over 100 lbs. & now runs. She told me that she has to wear 3 sports bras, layered together, because of boob issues. You couldn't pay me to wear 3 bras at once!

I can do that pre-sleeve. Remember, you don't need to be the fastest. You just need to avoid being the slowest!

Seriously, though - I can hustle along fairly quickly for a short distance and even perhaps jog a very short distance. I can walk several miles if it isn't tooooo hilly and make it up a1/4 mile hill at max 10% grade only a bit winded in the course of an otherwise fairly level 2 mile walk in my neighborhood. But I want so much more! Not running so much, but the stamina for long hikes in our local mountains, or to start really riding my bike again.

I so admire the progress I'm hearing about - tossing wood around and running a bit when the need hits are great steps toward the kind of health I want for myself!

great NSV! right now, I cannot run...seriously, it's one of the things that bothers me greatly...I actually fear that I couldn't even run if my life were being threatened...but it is quite inspirational and encouraging to hear your story...thanks

I had the exact same feeling before...that I couldn't run if my life depended on it & it scared me. It's something that I still struggle with. Now I can run a very short distance & so will you!

for boob issues while running try the Enell Sports Bra...I'm not going to lie it is ugly as sin but keeps my girls in place, about the only one I've found that does

I used to jog when I was in high school. My step mom and I would do 4 miles everyday. Now 10 years out of high school jogging has not even been on a list of things I could do. Until recently. After losing 145 pounds I have found that I can jog. Not the 4 miles I used to but I will get there again. My boobs do pay the price. I don't remember them hurting like they do now

I love reading this!!! You are so right, we forget the little things that are really big markers of changes in our everyday lives. Hooray for you and thanks for sharing!

Guys I highly recommend the couch to 5k program! It's great for anyone to get into the habit or running. It starts slow and you go at your own pace. I got such a great feeling of accomplishment for each little milestone. That was so helpful at times when the scale wasn't moving.

I just ran a 5k on St Patricks Day, it was actually EASY for me, I never imagined I'd be saying that!
