Got Movin'!!! How bout you???

I work out 3x a week with a personal trainer at LA Fitness here in Gresham.  He is a world class weight lifter.  I have been with him almost 3 yrs.  Next Monday, I want to start deep water aerobics at Mt. Hood Aquatic center.  I did water aerobics with them till I started at LA Fitness.  They have a pool there, but it is only 4 1/2 feet deep, I prefer deep water,  I started out at 526lbs before my RNY on 8/22/2006, and I am now 250 lbs.  I feel like I am loosing more inches than weight.  Other than that, I feel marvelous!!

Cool Peggy, I am amazed at how well you have done with your exercising!!!You should be proud of yourself. I couldn't even move when I was my biggest, and am just now looking at going to a gym. I am impressed with your determination. TTFN, Christina

Peggy  are you working with brian? are you who I am giving my clothes to? wow I bet you are what a small world. you are doing so great, I have not lost anywhere as much as you and you are almost to where I am now. we should get togather for lunch or something, Brian is my exbrother in law but still a great friend Kelly

Way to Gals!!! Sounds like you're all doing incredible!!!!! KEEP IT UP AND KEEP MOVIN"!!!!!

Well, does swimming in the ultra-choppy Caribbean with stingrays count?!?  OMG!  Never have I ever done anything so challenging, actually.  I *thought* I was at least a decent swimmer.  Boy, I couldn't have been more wrong (but I survived and had a blast)!

TOO COOL!!!!

John and I had a blast!  We even got to kiss the stingray!  It was an interesting experience, that's for sure!  I have a picture that I could e-mail you if you pm'd me your e-mail address.  I just don't know how to put a picture in the message here.

Today there was actually no rain or snow coming down!!  My daughter and I took our two doggies up to the middle school track to run around.  My daughter took a hilarious but muddy slide down the steep incline that surrounds the track - as my very dumb (sorry Fritz) Schnauzer was off and running.  He never has a destination in mind...he just runs for his life if he's off his leash.  It was up to me to take off after him, because my fourteen year old was too stunned that she was so muddy.  Fun was had by all and I had to be amazed that eight weeks after total knee replacement I was moving like you would never know I had ever had a knee problem!  There's nothing like happy dogs to feel joy in the heart!
