I went to Planet Fitness ...my first move. My daughter had a 3 month trial so I used that. I went last night to do the first "class" Designing your own program. I didn't stay because most of the treadmills were taken...( special going on now..$1 to sign up and $10 a month) so I hope to get back tomorrow during the day to get myself moving.
Hopefully that will help me get back on track..

I've done the 5 day pouch test several times and am currently on day 2. It helps. But really it is just getting back to basics. I can eat most anything too.

Okay I was watching bigest loser last night and they did 1/2 a marathon
I figured it up and at my current speed of walking it would take me 12 hours to walk a marathon.

12 hours to walk 27 miles , I told my Husband I want to do that , just to say I did , just for me.
I woke up thinking about it this morning and thought I don't need to do this alone and although he tries , He doesn't really understand the challange/accomplishment this will be, He hasn't been where we are.

So I was wondering , anyone else want to join me and walk a marathon in may?

Well I'm glad Im not the only one...i had my surgery almost 4 yrs ago now and my weight is slowly creeping up and i need to "nip it in the bud" I was doing great until i got pregnant withour 3rd surprise child which i am sooooo happy about...she was born May 2 2008. so during the pregnancy i gained about 65lbs. i lost 40 and now have gained 15lbs back and i feel as though i am yoyoing again.and i am scared to death....I dont want to be a failure. I have come so far. in 2007 i even did a half marathon and would love to do one again but am having trouble with motivation. as i was searching the many weightloss programs etc. out there over the last couple weeks nothing seemed to fit my situation and i decided to check back here...and i am so glad i did.  Sandy I am to ready for a change and believe somethings gotta give...hang in there and take on day at a time towards your goal!!!!!
