I thought you already did!

o yeah...i forgot....MOVE IT.....hey someone around here has got to be the C25K Nazi.

I have no idea how you keep an eye on the time your meant to run and walk of your not doing it on a treadmill and not on a podcast....do you just have to keep constantly looking at your watch?

If i saw someone doing that in the street id think there late for a bus..

Did my week 1 yesterday outside in the nippy weather. It felt great! I was ready for more! That's a big improvement for me! But I have a question about running. Is it better to run longer or faster? I can go longer but it's not very fast. Jeanie

hi Jeanie,

speed for now should not be an issue. in fact i was gently 'chastized' by a runner on the board for trying to go too fast. (it was a nice chastized ... not a bad thing at all, it motivated me even more actually).... i was trying for 5.0-5.2 MPH... they both suggested i slow it down, then slow it down again.

it is length you run to condition your body to run. i will try to find Jachut's link. she and JulieNYC have been enormous running inspirations for me.

Search - Advanced search and on the right hand side type in their user name.

you can also go to the exercise board and open anything pertaining to running, etc... they are pretty active on that section.

I cant wait for tomorrows workout now. How WEIRD is that!

Completely weird, I'm dreading it. The back of my legs are KILLING me. I'm so sore. And when I woke up this morning my heal spur was really bothering me, but when I'm running it doesn't act up. That's weird.

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
