Today marks one year since I ran for the first time in 20+ years. I did 2 miles a year ago today....could hardly believe it then. Things have definately changed in the last year.

I remember thinking I'd probably never do the 5k's I read about on here often....but that was just the beginning. For those just starting out, stick with it for a while and you'll be glad you did.

This morning I did one quick mile after work, quite a difference from a year ago. Rode my bike in this evening and will ride home in the morning, 21 miles each way.

Well it's only 85 degrees in Cali., I ate my lunch drank, went & walked for 30 min. around the building at work, I will go home & do my 30 minutes of dancing to the oldies by Richard Simmons , then take my shower ,catch up and go to bed.

Well I know I haven't posted on here in a few days, I am still going to the pool and walking, but I got some very sad news last week...I had been feeling some bad pains in my right hip...to the point some days I could hardly walk. Well old man Arthritis has really done me in...there is nothing but bone on bone in my hip joint. Waiting to hear about an appt with the Ortho doc...gonna try to see about putting off surgery as long as I possible can...I need to get the weight off before they go cutting on me again, and I am no where near green, so it is coming off slow...so folks if you keep folks in prayer...I could really use some!!! Thanks...but until I am told otherwise I am going to the pool...it makes me feel like I can do anything when I'm in that pool.

I guess it comes with age even though we look & feel young , I guess what our bodies went through before we lost weight took a toll on us , I also am seeing a Orthopaedic surgeon Friday & will be on disability for my back & I just found out about arthritis in my right hand & arm, however you swimming & riding your bike & exercising will help, good luck on what they say .

After working a 12 hour midnight shift, I went to the "Summer Sizzler 10K" this morning at 7am.....Guess all the "fast" runners in my age group must have slept in. I got 1st place in the Male 40-49 y/o division. And it was my first medal for either a 5 or 10k. Not sure how many were in the division, but couldn't have been too many. I think there were only about 80 runners total there today. Not a PR time for me, but 2 minutes faster than my last 10K. Its time for a shower and bed! Hope everyone enjoys their weekend!

Woo hoo and no u earned it far and square all ur training great job

Zip lining is fun ,but I don't think I could do it again, we're waiting for pics, I did see the good looking woman sitting at the bar feeling relaxed and having fun (You).

      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
