Wow Moments!!!!!!!!!

Today I went to the gym, started on the treadmill, was chugging along at 3.3m***** kinda bored so I upted(sp) it to 4.0 and then  later shot it up  to 4.5 MPH I couldn't be lieve I was actully running for roughly a minute. got my heart rate to 150. Yeah I know it was probably to much but I just had to do it.

Goit on the digital scale there, 330.5 down unofficially 17.1 from surgery. so it gets better.

One of my short term goals was to fit into my clothes that I grew out.

I am wearing my size 46 Jeans, They fit without sucking in my gut!. down two pants sizes!

Oh did I mention I have not been able to wear jeans for the past two years.


I am to say the least firgging exstatic.


Thank for reading.

Thank You  All Very much.

WTG!!!! I bet you are feeling great at this time well keep up the good work and congrats on the 17.1 pounds

Work it wit' yer bad self!   Seriously though, way to go!  I haven't worn jeans since I was in high school.  Hoping to one day be able to do so again!! 

I share you ecstaticness.  (I love creating new words!)  ha ha


Have a STELLAR 2009!

Tom -

That is AWESOME!  Way to go... I'm so proud of you for going to the gym already.  I've just been walking... did you go back on your own, or did your doc clear you?  Hmm....

I also had a similar experience.  I put on a pair of capri jeans that I favored before the surgery, and I didn't have to unzip them to pull them off!  Guess I won't be able to wear those for very long!

Congrats!!!

Thanks Guys. I could not have done it without you.   You are my inspiration

I was cleared to go back to the gym the day I was discharged. Just couldn't  find a ride after I got out.  then Christmas and then the gf and them my kids, you know the pix. I finally said i am going to the gym.

went to today and topped my record,  I don't think I will be doing this for awhile but I made 6.0 mph on the treadmill for about 30 seconds. I had to try 5 mph, then worked my way up to 6.

I am so sore. Like I said don't think I will be trying that for a while.


Good Luck to everybody.

Way to go Tom! Losing 17 lbs, running and fitting into your jeans again. Your just full of WOW moments today.

So happy for you...

 Wa Who! U go buddy! This is great. I am so happy for you. By the way I love the horse and rider U put in the post. LOL. Chell1957
