Exercise

[grandmaofone 411]

I went to the gym three times, so far. The first time I went one mile in an hour, second time 2.5 miles in about an hour and ten minutes, third time 2.5 miles in 46 mins. Love going to the gym hoping to get released to do more soon. I am 4 weeks out and am down 40 lbs. Hoping to get under 200 by next month, which is 20 lbs away!!! I can't wait to show myself to extended family at the end of July. They have not seen me since August of last year.

You have motivated me! I drove by a gym today and nearly stopped. Tomorrow I will go. It will be quite a while until I catch up with you. But I am going to start! Thanks!

I went for the first time today at 3 weeks post-op. It felt wonderful to do the work this process requires.

Glad you both are doing good!! It will only take you a few trips to catch up to me, with all this "new" energy you have to let it out some how!! Let me know how you do today:)

Did you lose 40lb in the 4 weeks since your surgery?

[grandmaofone 411]

No 30 lbs since my surgery, and today I weighted in at 219.8. I pasted my last goal today!!! Now it is time to move to the next goal which is 200 lbs. when I hit 199.9, I am treating myself to an hour massage for losing 60 lbs!!! I love my sleeve and love, love, love the results!!! I had to go through my jeans and get rid of almost all my jeans!! I have 3 pairs of capris and they are all elastic waist because I am to cheap to buy regular clothes right now and I know I am going to spend a ton of money when I finally hit my final goal of 150. I know I have hit goals before my surgery and than slowly a lb or two would come back on, I am just glad to be rid of all the extra weight for good!!!! I can now keep up with my one year old grandson and hopefully I can continue to keep up with him as he grows! He was the main reasons I wanted to rid myself of the extra weight. I had no medical problems, my BP was below normal, and everything else checked out fine to. I love being with him and want to see him grow up and be around for the next grandchild. With my weight of 257-265 I knew that it was not going to be long before medical problems started. But I could not be happier with the results! Last night I went 2.7 miles on treadmill in 47 mins. I can not wait until I can run on treadmill and do some strengthening of my arms and legs!!! I have not been this weight since I graduated high school!!!
