Topic: Exercise freak
Yesterday I went to the gym and felt a little peaky so I decided to just get on the stairstepper and read. I did that for the requisite 1/2 hr and felt better enough that I thought I should run at least ONE mile; after all, what's this delusion of half-marathons without a little training. So I ran 3.5 miles instead. AFTER the stairstepper. I'm feeling pretty good. I was on the treadmill for a total of 45 minutes with the walking cooldown.
I was NEVER an athlete in my life, but who says that 34 is too late to become one?
My weight is moving again, slowly but surely. I'm 3 measly pounds away from a "normal" BMI. THREE. I can't believe it. I still think of myself as fat, and my tummy and thighs look terrible and my batwings are scary, but maybe when I get to my so-called "ideal body weight" these things will improve. I can't say I measure my success by how I look because mostly I feel pretty lousy about that. But I DO measure my success by my ability to exercise, and I'm so very proud of that.
Hope everyone is getting a little exercise in their lives. The endorphin high is so worth it.
Hugs,
Susan

Topic: A surprise on vacation
Hey May babes,
Like many of us I was really strugging to keep the weight loss going. Starting to keep track of everything I put in my mouth really helped (I use fitday.com), but I was still just stuck at around 162.
Then I went on vacation for a week. You know it's hard to get good protein sources away from home, and vegetables are almost impossible to find. And on the last few days I just couldn't resist some yummy carb treats. So I got home yesterday, and got on the scale this morning, and -- surprise! -- I lost 3 lbs on vacation!
The way I figure it, I must have been eating more than I really needed (pre-vacation) just out of boredom. When I was too busy site-seeing to think about what/when I was going to eat next, I wasn't hungry and didn't eat as much. Note to self: work on getting more non-food interests into my daily life.
Thought you-all might want to try that experiment too!
Best,
Donna

Melanie ,
Yes you have done an awesome Job . Today is my Ninth Month Anniversary , and I would do this everyday in order to achieve the results that I have .
I am going to wait on my PS .. My doc wants us to be 100 % of goal and maintaining for a year .. so as when the skin is removed .. there is no ? about regain or new loss .
I would take the skin too .. no one sees it but me ! However , if insurance approves it . . I am there ..
Take care and God Bless .
