Sooooo Close!!!

I'm soooo close to being under 300lbs I can taste it. 309. My weight before the liver shrink diet was 355. I was sleeved on 5/15/13. At that time of check in I weighed 333. I'm down to 309. I had a 2-3 week stall. I went to this exercise class on Saturday and from Saturday until today I lost 9 lbs. LOLOL My stomach feels like surgery day. I don't see a difference in my body in losing but I swear I'm still excited. I don't know how long it's been since I've been under 300 lbs, but it's coming. When you've been overweight for so long overweight just becomes your reality.

Awesome weight loss! What type of exercises did you do? I'm so excited for you! Congratulations!

Donnaaaaaaaa what type of exercises DIDN'T we do. We ran 6 laps, the stair master, squats with the balance ball, sit ups, crunches, leg lifts, lifted 3lb weights(that felt like 10 lbs after so many reps), resistance bands, arm dips, kettle ball...to name a few. But I'm grateful because this is exactly what I wanted. I needed to start on my core and my arms...so I will be going back...

They let you run? I'm so jelly. I had a trainer tell me I was to heavy to run 20 pounds ago (then 260) now I'm 280 and looking into surgery, and my knees ache all the time.

I want to be able to exercise but I don't even know what I'm cleared to do.

I'm impressed! I can't handle stairs, running or anything to hard on the knees. I'm hoping when I get closer to 200 lbs I'll be able to handle more. I have actually found that if I am not doing to much strenuous exercise I loose weight better. I know it is crazy and I want to turn this flab into muscle. My doctor says to do what my body tells me.  I have to say you inspire me!

You go, girl!  Here's to a new reality :-)  My surgeon won't release me to do anything other than walking until I'm 6 weeks out.  I think he's being a bit extreme on that but I look forward to being able to lift some weights and work on my Pilates machine.
