OMG!!! i'm so excited for you!!! you must feel AWESOME!!!!

i'm a little younger, but still putting off going to a class, please be very very very proud of yourself! thats amazing!

i feel like i did it, i may be more excited than you are! i think its because i'm waiting to take a class till i can get my endurance up, still on eliptical/treadmill...but i'm pretty sure in 2 more weeks i'll be ready, cause i'm getting better and able to stay a little longer lately...

but a boot camp class! ARE YOU INSANE! LMAO...you are the WOMAN! i bow to you, i've seen those classes, their crazy!!!

you are truly motivating!!!!

Thanks Kim and Diva for sharing in my excitement. The Band has truly open doors for me that I thought was closed and locked!!! I will look forward to your post in a couple weeks Diva when you decide to do that class!! I LOVE MY BAND!!:smile2:

Gadumplin -

Glad to see a post from someone close to my age!!! Part of me thinks I'm too old to worry about this, but the other part says "NO WAY" - you've got years to go yet baby, so make 'em healthy.

Yeah, I've seen some boot camps - you are fearless, woman!!! Double thumbs up to you!!!!!!! :smile2:

Congratulations Gadumplin. What an accomplishment!!

I have only been walking so far. But, I have gone from being winded walking to the car to walking daily. My goal is 7000 steps a day and my nsv was on Wednesday of this week when my step count was 10625. Quite a victory for me. By the way, I just turned 59 so we can do it.

You are doing great ..... As I lose weight I have a desire to do different things. In the beginning walking was all I did and then I decided to join a gym and take some classes and that lead to the boot camp. You too will have doors open as you travel this journey. Hold on its an awesome ride!! Keep up the good work!

Gadumplin,

You are doing great. I was banded 3 days after you. Your success makes me think I can do it too. The exercise part that is. I have been on the lazy side and have not embraced exercise. But I know that losing weight is one part of a healthy lifestyle, I gotta et my ass in gear. Your story motivates me.

Your doing great....do you realize you are 7 pounds away from one half of your weight loss???? You are gonna make it and I agree the exercise is the hardest to do but I know it makes a big difference in the way that I look, feel and lose!! So start out slow and make it fun with some personal goals that will change along the way. And I will see you at goal!!!!
