A year ago tonight

I was a nervous wreck. I had endured the lovely "day of cleansing", wrapped things up at work and just waited. Now a year later I'm down 99 lbs (hopefully 100 by my 1-year follow up tomorrow!! I feel so darn healthy! I've run two 5K's and I'm actually enjoying running! I'm in charge of my eating not the other way around. I continue to be surrounded by wonderful friends and family who have been so encouraging. What an amazing journey. Congrats to all the Dec folks out there!!

Congratulations on your great sucess!!! Incredible how 365 days make a great difference in out lives. Life is good!

Congrats surgery sister!! I am in awe of the 5 k's you did!!

Congrats to you....one of my goals is to "learn" how to run and how to like it.....looks like you are already there.......

So happy for you! Congrats Becky! I am also a runner and was supposed to run a 5k on thanksgiving day in kansas city but it was only 20 degrees and no way I could stomach it that cold on my first time. I can't wait to try it though, congrats on that giant feat! *hugs*

Thanks, all! Dawn - the "program" I used to start running is called Couch to 5K and you can find it on www.coolrunning.com in the training area. Melissa - you'll love your 1st 5K whenever it happens! I "heat up" pretty quickly when running, so cold hasn't been a factor. They say it's like it's 20 degrees warmer when you run. Take care! Becky

Becky, CONGRATULATIONS!!! You have had an amazing year and are doing so great! Thank you for the running program link. I want to learn to love to run too and join you runners. Keep up all your great work and may the coming year be as wonderful as the passing one! Molly
