10 Months Out

[mednar 26]

Quick update. Don't remember to get on here much anymore.

Had surgery June 6, 2011. To date, I've lost 87 lbs. According to the BMI charts in the doctors office, I need to lose ~ 52 lbs to be "normal" BMI range.

For me to be happy, I'd still like to lose ~25-30 more lbs. It's gotten harder to lose, but I also gave up on getting up 2.5 hours before work to exercise. Haven't replace that weight training/exercise, and it's slowed my weight loss down. I've got to find something to replace that with, or develop a routine at home.

I'm back to walking again 5-6 days a week. Also still trying to train to run when I can. I'm up to 5 minutes running, 2.5 walk, 3 minutes running, 1.5 walk x2. Start a new week this week. The third run this week is 20 min running. Not sure how that will work out. Might have to repeat a week.

My weight loss of late has been slow, but clothes sizes are slowly dropping. I've gone from wearing a 3XL mens shirt to a L, depending on the manufacturer. They all seem to have some different body size in mind when they make stuff.

Hope all the "old" plication patients are well. Hope all you new ones do well.

Take care.

great job!!! My plan is to do weight bearing exercises to build muscle...muscle burns fat quicker and keeps your metabolism functioning at a better rate....I would be soooo happy with your results! Keep it up.....from what I understand, you will keep loosing every year...if you control what you eat.

Sounds like you're doing fantastic. The walk/run thing sounds like it's working for you. Maybe I'll try that.
