JULY 23, 2009 to JULY 23, 2010 Who coulda guessed??
HIYA! Yup...it's my surgiversary! I can't hardly believe that a year has gone by already!
but it has! and I'm SMALL... that's even more difficult to grasp!
But..I owe my success to the WLS and all the wonderful support that I've received here!
So pat yourselves on the back and know that I so appreciate everything you do for all of us!!!

I totally agree with you JEllen - the Julyers are a wonderfully supportive bunch and have been instrumental in helping me to feel like I haven't been going through this alone!
What a year it has been for all of us - I look forward to hearing how things are going as we continue to adjust to the new healthier lives that we've created for ourselves and all of the successes and challenges that come with those changes!
I'm training for my first 5K in September and can't believe this body can RUN - I am so grateful every day that I decided to equip myself with this new tool to help me fight my way back to a healthy, active life!
Bring on year two!
Cheers!

8's only when they are fresh out of the dryer! and my 6's to work... and I wear my 4's when I go out.. I've got a pair of SKINNY JEANS in size 4!!!

Happy surgery anniversary so how do you train for a 5K. How many miles is it? I am doing a 5 mile run for childhood obesity on oct 2nd and training for it but was doing it on the treadmill but now have moved it to the inside track where I do 13 laps equals 1 mile so I been doing 3 sets of them so equals 3 miles and have done 4 sets which is 4 miles. Which is really hard because after each set I do some type of cario machine or go do some weight training, or class, or crunches or push ups on the ball. I try to do a variety of things so my body doesn't get use to the same workout. I like to challenge myself as well.

YOU GO GIRL!!!
WHAT AMAZING PROGRESS YOU HAVE MADE!!!
actually... you could do a 5K anytime... it is only 3.1 miles!
a half-marathon is 13.2 miles! I NEED to get back on track with my training for that! TEAM W.A.L.K. is doing the Baltimore Running Festival HALF MARATHON in Oct. (my last name begins with "W" and my 3 friends last names begin with A- L - K! We spell WALK but I hope to RUN part of it!
THIS heat & humidity has been a real killer for me... I prefer doing my walk/runs in the cooler weather!!!
SO.... GO FOR IT!!!
