Ok, I'll speak up!! I post many of my WOW moments on the California board, but never think to put them here....so here I go. I've completed TWO 5k events. The first on Thanksgiving Day and then another a week later. I want to do a 10k, because the 5k walks are pretty easy and I tend to goof around a lot. I fit in my 'skinny' jeans. The smallest pair of jeans I own (size 20). In fact I fit in almost all the clothes I was wearing when I was at my lowest adult weight 5 years ago. I'm taking boxing lessons and keeping up with the boys at the gym. Watch out for me in my pink gloves!!! My jealous sister is still making passive-aggressive comments about my weight-loss. But now I stand up to her and enjoy the jealousy just a litle bit. Men I dated before surgery are suddenly coming around again and giving me more attention......too late, I'm on to new conquests! I walk faster, have more energry and feel great.
