Topic: RE: My second 5K race
Hi Andrea, I am soo proud of you. I too want to run a 5k. I thought i was working out too much doing 3 miles a day (didn't want to push my body) but i am ready to get started. It amazes me that my body loves to work out. It feels soooo good.
Topic: RE: Time for an update from everyone
Hey everyone!!!!
-I have lost 92 pounds
-I am 17 pounds from my goal
-I am feeling GREAT!!!!! I need to exercise more, I have a little bit of skin issues. So I know if I start exercising HOPEFULLY it will help tone some of it up. I have been vacationing with my family as usual, BUT I am having much more fun!! We go to amuzement parks all summer long....and I ride anything I want!!!! No more worrying if I fit or not in anything. Now some rides I don't ride....fear, not size. I am trying not to eat as frequently. I still find myself hungry or wanting every couple of hours. The weight is much slower, but I am hoping to reach goal by my year anniversary. I feel good where I am at, but sure would love to see myself at goal! Everyone keep up the good work, and God Bless!!!

Shelia,
Congratulations!
I'll bet you never dreamed that you'd make it this far! I know I didn't... I was just positive that this surgery wouldn't work for me... but I'm one pound away from having lost 100 lbs. myself!
Celebrate this fantastic accomplishment!
blessings, lynnie

My name is DJ and I had surgery on Nov 2 2004. I have lost 115 lbs to date I have gone from being totally disabled, to getting a job and getting my life back! I still have about 40 lbs that I would like to lose, and I know that it is going to be tougher from here on. I'm excited to find this web site and this support board. Hoping to here from you guys. DJ
