I had a VSG with Dr. Kelly on 12/14/12.  Everything went well.  I am down 50 lbs. since surgery and feeling very good!  Was off work 3 weeks.  Was not too impressed with United Hospital but other than that everything went well.  Love Dr. Kelly!  Let me know if you have any more questions, I would be glad to answer them!

Super job, Kim!  You are doing great.

Did you find any bargains at Savers today?

Good morning, all!  I hope you are having a good day, and had a great weekend.  Mine certainly turned out better than last week.  I think my mileage is finally catching up with the scale--about time, too.  I ran 22.7 miles total last week, and I've already done 10+ miles this week.  It's feeling surprisingly good, so hopefully my fitness is really improving.  After 7+ miles this morning, I felt like I could have kept going.  Maybe a half-marathon is not quite as crazy as it sounds for this former couch potato.

This week's stats:

Starting weight: 298.4 lbs
Last week: 143.0 lbs
This week: 137.7
Loss of 5.3 lbs, WOOT!

Now I'm back to where I'd like to stay, so here's hoping I can keep maintaining.

Don't forget about our team for the Obesity Challenge 5K in April!  Doesn't matter how fast or slow you walk or run--the good news is that everybody who moves their body for 5K burns pretty much the same number of calories, regardless of speed.  So go ahead and sign up--we will have a blast!

Just passing it on for those of you needing cheap "new" wardrobes.  I'll be there bright and early.  :)
