brightfaith 187 Posted April 1, 2018 When I first started this journey, I could not walk one block without needing to stop due to back pain and breathlessness. Today, I walked 2.7 miles. I was slow -- it took me an hour and 16 minutes -- but my back held up, and I felt really good and grateful the whole time. Anyone else have any non-scale victories to share? 4 Road2Newme3, ProudGrammy, Neon Star and 1 other reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sonyawon 135 Posted April 1, 2018 Congrates good job!! Its very addicting. I find myself thinking about my walks while I'm at work I can't wait to get home and go walk. I take off for 1 1/2 - 2hrs a day I love it. I listen to music and it's great for thinking about anything you want to think about.. alone time...me time.... it's wonderful..Loving Life 1 brightfaith reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I agree--walking is wonderful, especially outside (treadmill is a bit boring). I can't wait to be able to travel and walk, walk, walk. Glad you are loving life!

frust8 963 Posted April 4, 2018 Good that you want and looking forward to zip lining. You won't have me joining you there. I have acrophobia, fear of heights, I get more than 1 or 2 stories and the panic monster wants to take over. Sweaty palms, nausea. and wanting somewhere I can be safe, hidden and treated kindly. Yeah I've got it bad and that isn't good. I can't remember a time I wasn't scared of heights, even when I was normal proportioned as a little girl, maybe there is something sad about a fat woman who's crying like a small child. So I try to keep my feet on solid ground.[emoji20]Sent from my VS880PP using BariatricPal mobile app Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
